I found the correct sheet.

It looks like it is possible to have a Cv of .33 with a certain configuration (3-position, Exhaust Center) but I believe that the valve we have (SY3240) indicates 2-position.

Under Port Diameter it says: Rc(PT)1/8. Is that the same as 1/8" NPT?

Also it looks like their maximum pressure is 0.7 MPa (101 psi) so we will have to install an additional pressure relief valve set to that pressure.

Thanks for your help.
