Check Valves

CPIFF Inline Check Valves

Poppet style soft seat

Flow rates to 30 gpm (115 l/min)
Steel Construction; other materials available
Five sizes - 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1"
SAE, NPSF & BS 2779 female end fittings
Up to 5000 psi (345 bar) working pressure

Features
The soft seat (virtual zero leak) guided poppet design and 4:1 safety factor of Snap-tites Inline Check Valves make them an
excellent choice for a wide variety of applications where free flow in one direction and blocked flow in the reverse direction is
required. The streamlined soft seated poppet offers minimum restriction to flow and positive shut off. These valves can be
provided with various spring pressures and seal options compatible with most types of fluids.

Notes:
Decimal dimensions are +/-.015 in. (.38 mm).

Ratings, specifications, and dimensions are subject to change

without notice.
Part configurations are typical and do not necessarily represent actual
appearance.
Consult factory for certified drawing of 6C/3C end fitting configurations.

Features
The CAD dual pilot check valve features two CAC check cartridges in a single red anodized aluminum housing with standard
ports to 1 in NPSF or SAE o-ring sealed. Flow into one of the valve ports is blocked until pressure overcomes the poppet
spring. When the poppet is unseated, flow is permitted to the actuator; simultaneously the pilot piston on the actuated side
unseats the opposite poppet to permit return flow through the valve.
