PILOT-OPERATED CHECK
VALVES
A pilot-operated check valve is
designed to permit free flow in one
direction and prevent flow in the
reverse direction. The free reverse
flow is permitted when a pilot
pressure signal is applied to the pilot
port and the valve is opened. These
valves have very low internal leakage
and are typically used to lock a ram
in place until a function is changed.
NOTE: Be sure replacement P/O
check valve assemblies have the
letter "V" stamped on the hex.
