COMMON OPTIONS: Since check valves and shuttles are fairly simple components, there are very few options. Here are the standard options you will find. Seals: The Winner’s Circle products feature a standard 4301 Polyurethane “D”-Ring. The “D”-Ring eliminates the need for back-up rings. The majority of the products are available in Nitrile or Fluorocarbon Seals. You should match the seal compatibility to the temperature and fluid being used in your application. Crack Pressure: Parker offers a number of standard crack pressure options for each valve. Check the model code pages for these options. The crack pressure is defined as the minimum amount of pressure that is needed to unseat the poppet. In pilot operated check applications, you may want to go with a slightly higher cracking pressure to keep the piston weight, friction, and drag from accidently unseating the poppet. Pilot Piston Seal: On the pilot piston style pilot operated check valves, Parker offers the option to place a seal on the piston to reduce the leakage across the piston. Note: Sealing the pilot piston does not decrease the leakage across the poppet. In other words, if you are trying to reduce the leakage from the actuator port, sealing the piston will not help. While most applications do not require a seal on the piston, it can be advantageous in applications with very small pump flows where the lost fluid would have a high impact on actuator speed.
