Check valves allow flow to pass in one direction, with a low pressure drop, and prevent flow in the reverse direction. These insertable check valves give control over flows in a hydraulic circuit. Commonly used for low profile, space saving applications, the ICV2 series comes in a variety of BSP thread sizes. The cartridge seals on the 123 degree angle of the drilled hole.

Pressure at the inlet port (Port 1) causes the ball to lift against the spring force, allowing flow to the outlet port (Port 2). Reverse flow is prevented by the ball reseating. It is important to note that the hydraulic flow follows in the opposite direction of screwing and is released in the opposite direction.

The compact design is the distinguishing feature of the ICV2 series. This valve utilizes a metal-to-metal sealing edge to ensure effective sealing. With its sturdy construction, spring-loaded mechanism, and ability to resist dirt, the check valve is highly durable. Furthermore, the valve seat, ball, and body are hardened to withstand wear and tear.
