349-3552: Engine Oil Check Valve

An Engine Oil Check Valve is designed to allow oil to flow in only one direction while preventing it from flowing in the opposite direction. It's commonly used in engines, to maintain proper oil circulation and prevent issues like dry starts or oil backflow. A check valve in the oil line ensures that once the oil has been pumped into the engine, it cannot flow back into the line due to gravity or other factors. A check valve can help maintain some oil pressure in the system during this critical period, preventing metal-to-metal contact and reducing wear. Attributes: • Cracking pressure: 5 psi • Cycle: 5400 cycles/min • Designed to fit within the oil line without obstructing the overall flow path Applications: This Engine Oil Check Valve in located engine oil line serves to enable the flow of oil in a single direction while preventing its reverse flow, ensuring consistent lubrication and maintaining engine performance.
