The term cartridge valve commonly refers to pressure, directional, and flow control valves that screw into a threaded cavity. Compact screw-in cartridges help builds inexpensive circuits that are reliable and easy to maintain. Screw-in cartridges are most often part of a drilled manifold but can be purchased in individual bodies.
The performance and function of screw-in cartridge valves is similar to the in-line or sub-plate-mounted valves.
