CHECK VALVES

Check Valves  The IMH Chek™ is a threadless, cartridge-style insert designed for simple, low cost installation into manifolds, and is based on the same hard seat Lee Chek® designs used in flight control systems of almost every aircraft flying today.

A robust design and 100% testing ensures consistent, long-term performance up to 28 MPa (4000 psid) and 149°C (300°F) or higher depending on specific application requirements. A high quality metal to metal seat limits leakage in the checked direction to no more than 20 sccm of air at 172 kPa (25 psi) differential. The valves are compatible with hydraulic fluids, brake fluids, fuels and oils and integral safety screen protection is available.  

Features and Advantages

Check Valves 
  • Compact Design
    Can be easily integrated into high volume, automated assembly lines. A cost effective alternative to in-house check or relief valve design
  • Metal to Metal Seating
    Provides high reliability and long life
  • Guided Ball Design
    Aligns ball with seat and provides a positive stop to prevent spring from going solid
  • Pre-assembled
    For ease in installation and handling
  • Easy to use
    Slip the check into a drilled hole and drive the pin flush
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range
    – 50°F to +300°F
  • Compatible with Most Fluids

The Lee Chek® - a High Performance Check Valve.

In-House Check Valve
versus Lee Chek
IN-HOUSE CHECK VALVE   LEE CHEK®
(Find the parts, coin the seat, assemble the parts, stake in place, test)   (Pre-assembled, auto-insertable, 100% tested)

Why fuss with the in-house approach when the Lee High-Performance Check Valve installs in less time, works more reliably, lasts longer and costs less.

Lee Chek® features include:

  • Quick, automated installation
  • 100% performance tested
  • 4000 psid working pressure
  • All stainless steel construction
  • 5.5mm and 8.0mm diameters
  • Cracking pressure from 0 to 150 psid

 

Check Valves in Plastic Fittings

Check Valves in Plastic Fittings

Check Valves in Plastic Fittings - Cross Section 

Check valves can now be supplied pre-installed in plastic fittings for disposable medical applications (eg angioplasty). Typically, two 2.5 or 5.5mm diameter check valves are used, one to provide an inlet check valve function and the other to provide a pressure relief function to prevent over-pressurisation of the angiplasty balloon.
