Pilot check valves allow flow to pass in one direction, with a low pressure drop, then prevent reverse flow until pilot pressure is applied. There are many applications for this valve type, the most common being to lock and hold a cylinder, or another hydraulic actuator, in position. A pilot relief valve will protect the cylinder and hoses from thermal expansion of the hydraulic fluid. See Introduction to Pilot-Operated Check Valves (Lock Valves) at the beginning of this section.
Features
Hardened and ground poppet gives excellent flow capability for valve size, positive sealing and long working life. Cartridge construction allows installation in actuators, manifold blocks and Hydraulic Integrated Circuits. Requires a machined C-10-4 cavity or housing for installation.
Installation
22 ft-lbs torque cartridge into cavity. Unrestricted mounting position. For compatible C-10-4 bodies see
Recommended Filtration
ISO level 18/13 or better.

Question by: Ronnie J on Nov 29, 2025, 3:54 PM
Is there a certain way this thing needs to be mounted?

Mounting position isn't restricted, so you can install it however works best for your setup. Just make sure you torque the cartridge to 22 ft-lbs into the C-10-4 cavity.
