Eaton 5CK valves — pilot-to-close documentation

This section covers 5CK valves with a pilot-to-close function. Check the hydraulic symbol and how the pilot operates. These documents describe a different function from valves opened by pilot pressure.

Our store has its own language selector. Choose English in the store if needed. For a delivery enquiry, include your destination country and postcode.

Manufacturer documents are provided in their original language; the language may vary by file. Series-level ratings are a guide: check the exact model and operating conditions in its data sheet.

Eaton pilot-to-close check valves

A pilot-to-close valve uses pilot pressure to close the check element, whereas a pilot-to-open valve uses it to open the element. Referenced models include Eaton 5CK30, 5CK120 and 5CK300. For pilot-to-open designs, return to the pilot-operated check valve documentation section.
