Product Description
Three-port standard pilot, steel seat pilot-to-open check cartridges allow free flow from port
2 (valve) to port 1 (load) and block flow in the opposite direction. When pressure is applied
at port 3 (pilot), the valve will open from port 1 to port 2. The pilot pressure needed to open
the valve is directly proportional to the load pressure at port 1. Backpressure at port 2
directly opposes pilot pressure.

Technical Features

z Three-port pilot-to-open check cartridges and
three-port counterbalance cartridges are
physically interchangeable (i.e. same cavities,
same flow path for a given frame size).
However, cartridge extension dimensions
from the mounting surface may vary.
z Incorporates the Sun floating style
construction to eliminate the effects of internal
parts binding due to excessive installation
torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining
variations.

z Provides hose break protection, prevents z Available with an optional manual screw

loads from drifting and positively locks
pressurized loads.
z Standard unsealed pilot allows air trapped in
the pilot line to be purged from the circuit.
z Optional external porting out of the hex end of
the cartridge is available for external piloting.
z Pilot-to-open check cartridges are locking
valves, not motion control valves. For motion
control applications, use counterbalance
valves.

release for use in the event of loss of pilot
pressure.
z Extremely low leakage. The seat and poppet
are heat treated for long life. If the load drifts
due to the valve, the seat has probably been
damaged by contamination and the valve
should be replaced.
z Multiple check valve cracking pressures are
available (see option selection).
