    HydraForce DC08-40 Pilot-Operated Check Valve

    HydraForce DC08-40 screw-in, cartridge-style, dual, pilot-operated, hydraulic check valve for blocking or load-holding.

    The DC08-40 will block flow from 1 to 2, and from 4 to 3. Flow is allowed in the opposite direction when pressure is applied to port 2 and/or port 3. The valve has a 3:1 pilot ratio, so at least 1/3 of the load pressure at port 1 or 4 is required at the pilot lines (ports 2 or 3) to open the flow passage to allow flow from ports 1 or 4.
    The check is spring-biased at 1.7 bar (25 psi) to assure holding in a static or no-load condition. An optional spring biased at 9.3 bar (135 psi) is available.
