CXEE-XCN - Free Flow Nose-To-Side Check Valve

Free-flow, side-to-nose cheater check valves function as a standard 2-port check valve in a 3-port cavity with port 3 of the cartridge blocked off. These valves are useful in circuits where a check valve is required in an existing three port cavity.

Technical Features

• Two-port check valves share the same cavity for a given frame size, however, pay close attention as flow paths may be in opposite directions.


• These check valves are considered circuit savers for existing circuits where manifold drillings are incorrect. The capacity of side-to-nose (port 2 to port 1) 2-port check valves is approximately 30% less than preferred models with a nose-to-side (port 1 to port 2) flow path.


• Check valves offer extremely low leakage rates with a maximum leakage of less than 1 drop per minute.


• Will accept 5000 psi (350 bar) at ports 1 and 2.


• Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
