The pump flow control canister and

plunger valve wear, allowing the

plunger valve to stick open and/or
leakage to occur. The canister o-ring
relaxes and pressure bleeds past it.
This drop-in-place assembly includes a
harder canister with more support for the
plunger valve, which prevents sticking.
The assembly also includes a case-hard-
ened plunger valve with self-centering
annular groves, a replacement spring,
and larger o-ring for improved sealing.

Sonnax Part Summary
The OEM flow control valve is designed to increase pump efficiency by rerouting excess line
pressure back to the suction side of the pump. It is common for the plunger valve to become stuck
open, or for the canister to wear. This decreases line pressures and results in delayed engagements.
The Sonnax pump flow control valve assembly eliminates the sticking and wear problems with
redesigned and precisely machined parts.
Features & Benefits
Harder canister material resists wear and has improved valve support to prevent sticking.
Plunger valve is made from case-hardened steel and has annular grooves to prevent side loading.
Larger o-ring eliminates pressure loss at the pump face.
Canister restores the regulated line orifice to improve valve and hydraulic stability.
Drop-in-place replacement assembly for easy installation.
