VALVE - CHECK 5 PSI (CAT CT1049857)

A worn check valve can allow reverse flow, leading to system pressure loss and erratic operation. This aftermarket replacement part references CAT as the OE maker and cross-references part number CT1049857. The valve is a check type designed to permit flow in one direction only while blocking backflow. Its cracking pressure is set at 5 PSI, ensuring it opens only when sufficient forward pressure is present. A common failure consequence is that a stuck-open valve fails to hold pressure, causing downstream components to operate sluggishly or not at all. In a typical usage context, this valve is installed in a line where unidirectional flow control is critical for maintaining circuit integrity. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748. The item ships at approximately 0.204 pounds.
