High Flow Pressure Relief Valve

Lee 187 Insert Retained Drilled Safety Screens combine a Lee locking end with a robust, one-piece screen element. Using the proven Lee Insert Principal (refer to our website, or the Lee Technical Hydraulic Handbook for additional details), these screens allow for a simple installation directly into a fluid passageway. This installation technique locks the screen into the surrounding housing and provides a reliable, leak-proof seal. Capable of handling burst and collapse pressure differentials up to 3000 psi, these screen designs are available in two hole sizes, 380 and 500 micron.

Virtually every 0.187, 0.250, and 0.281 inch diameter Lee insert is offered already installed in appropriately sized flared, flareless, or dynamic beam seal unions. These unions are made of 304 stainless steel (code “J” in military standards) or 6AL-4V Titanium (code “T”). All Lee Unions have a unique hex wrench arrangement to distinguish them from simple unions and permanent external marking to identify the insert.
The configuration of these unions has been carefully chosen to accommodate most of the 0.187, 0.250, and 0.281 inch Lee inserts, and yet maintain both minimum envelope and weight. These units incorporate the high-root radius UNJF threads to minimize stress concentrations with Class 3A tolerances. All fitting-end dimensions are, except for the internal diameters, in general accordance with the appropriate AS4375E4 and E6, AS4395E04 and E06, and AS85720/1-04 and −06 specifications.
Every Lee Union with an insert installed is proof pressure tested; flared and flareless to 6000 psid and dynamic beam seal to 16,000 psid. Maximum working differential pressure is a function of the particular Lee insert specified (refer to the appropriate insert section).

Our line-up of poppet-style check valves offers extremely high flow capacity for their size in comparison to ball-style valves and includes our Lo-Lohm Cheks, Hi-Q Cheks, and High Pressure Cheks. The High Pressure Chek starts at a micro-miniature 0.125-inch diameter, yet still withstands up to 8000 psi. Meanwhile, the Hi-Q Chek offers the greatest feasible flow capacity for valves of this size. Available in sizes up to 1 inch in diameter in a cartridge configuration, the Hi-Q Chek valve can flow over 57 GPM with only a 100 psid pressure drop. Finally, the 0.250-inch Lo-Lohm Chek offers 3.5 times more flow than an axial flow ball-style check valve of the same diameter.
