Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 4401 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 131, Fluid power systems, Subcommittee SC 5,
Control products and components.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4401:1994) which has been technically revised.

Introduction
In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a liquid under pressure within an
enclosed circuit. Typical components found in such systems include hydraulic valves. These devices control
flow direction, pressure or flow rate of liquids in the enclosed circuit.

Dimensions in millimetres

a The minimum thread depth is 1,5 bolt diameters, D. The recommended full thread depth shall be 2D + 6 mm to aid
interchangeability of valves and to reduce the number of fixing bolt lengths. The recommended engagement of fixing cap
screw (bolt) threads for ferrous mountings is 1,25D.
b The dimensions specifying the area within the dotted bold lines are the minimum dimensions for the mounting surface.
The corners of the rectangle may be radiused to a maximum radius, rmax, equal to the thread diameter of the fixing cap
screws (bolts). Along each axis the fixing holes are at equal distances to the mounting surface edges.
c This dimension gives the minimum space required for a valve with this mounting surface. The dimension is also the
minimum distance from centreline to centreline of two identical mounting surfaces placed on a manifold block. The
attention of valve manufacturers is drawn to the fact that no part of the width of the complete valve assembly is to exceed
this dimension.

a The minimum thread depth is 1,5 cap screw (bolt) thread diameters, D. The recommended full thread depth shall be
2D + 6 mm to aid interchangeability of valves and to reduce the number of fixing cap screw (bolt) lengths. The
recommended engagement of fixing cap screw (bolt) threads for ferrous mountings is 1,25D.
b The dimensions specifying the area within the dotted bold lines are the minimum dimensions for the mounting surface.
The corners of the rectangle may be radiused to a maximum radius, rmax, equal to the thread diameter of the fixing cap
screws (bolts). Along each axis the fixing holes are at equal distances to the mounting surface edges.
c This dimension gives the minimum space required for a valve with this mounting surface. The dimension is also the
minimum distance from centreline to centreline of two identical mounting surfaces placed on a manifold block. The
attention of valve manufacturers is drawn to the fact that no part of the width of the complete valve assembly is to exceed
this dimension.
