VU 1/4" HYDRAULIC CHECK VALVE
VT001004 1/4” BSP – Inline check valve
Product description:
The VT001004 inline check valve is designed to allow flow in one direction while preventing reverse flow in hydraulic circuits. It provides reliable pressure retention and protects hydraulic components in general hydraulic applications.
Main features:
- Type: Inline check valve
- Code: VT001004
- Connection: 1/4” BSP
- Maximum flow rate: 12 l/min
- Maximum operating pressure: 350 bar
- Cracking pressure: 0.5 bar
- Body material: Steel
Operating Principle
This check valve allows oil to flow in only one direction while blocking flow in the reverse direction. Inside the valve, a spring-loaded poppet stays closed under normal conditions. When the fluid pressure reaches the cracking pressure (0.5 bar in this case) in the correct direction, the valve opens to allow flow.
If the pressure drops or the flow attempts to reverse, the spring forces the poppet closed again, preventing backflow and protecting sensitive hydraulic components.
