Smart Products Micro Cartridge Check Valve Fits Tiny Spaces

New micro check valve suitable for many industry applications


Morgan Hill, CA – October 4, 2007 – Smart Products, Inc., (http://www.smartproducts.com) recently introduced its 111 Barbed Cartridge Check Valve. Used in liquid and air applications, this precisely engineered micro valve is ideal for any application with serious space constraints.

The 111 Barbed Cartridge Check Valve differs from traditional inline valves as it contains the entire valve in a barbed body that slides into pliable ¼” I.D. (inner diameter) tubing. Its ribs or “barbs” securely hold the valve in place inside the tube – eliminating leakage and shuttling of the valve. Because of its efficient design, the 111 Check Valve is a cost effective solution compared to alternative inline check valves.

Ideal for a wide range of applications, including biomedical industry and medical devices, the 111 Barbed Cartridge Check Valve is available in a range of materials and opening pressures from 0.10 to 20 PSI. A reverse flow model is also available (118 Cartridge Check Valve).

Smart Products cartridge check valves provide accurate, reliable control of fluid or gas in low pressure, low flow OEM systems and are often a less expensive alternative to metal valves, which are often subject to corrosion. The valves feature a low inertia poppet design and double-tapered o-ring seats for a fast, positive seal.
