Abstract
A manifold block is provided for locating between a hydraulic pressure supply and a piece of equipment, such as a material handler. The manifold block allows for bidirectional flow and provides both flow and pressure control in the supply direction, but not in the return direction. The manifold block allows for the equipment to be protected from experiencing fluid pressure or a flow rate that is higher than limits set in the manifold block, thereby protecting hydraulically powered equipment, e.g., a material handler, regardless of the hydraulic supply parameters of a machine to which it is attached.
