DOUBLE PILOT OPERATED CHECK VALVE 3/8"
VT008006 3/8” BSP – Double pilot operated check valve (block type)
Product description:
The VT008006 double pilot operated check valve is designed for secure locking of hydraulic cylinders in both directions. The block-type valve with T configuration prevents unwanted movement and allows reverse flow only when sufficient pilot pressure is applied. Its steel housing and robust internal design ensure long service life and reliable operation in demanding hydraulic applications.

Operating Principle
This is a double pilot operated check valve, designed to block flow in both directions until an external pilot pressure is applied. The valve contains two internal check valves controlled by opposite pilot channels (V1 and V2). When pilot pressure is applied to one side (e.g., C1), it unlocks the check valve on the other side (V2), allowing fluid flow.
This functionality makes it particularly useful in hydraulic cylinders where position holding under load and safety against unintended motion are critical. The cracking pressure (opening threshold) is 2 bar.
