When centimeters and milligrams determine the outcome of a race, The Lee Company supplies the valves you need for victory. Lee Chek® check valves are available in sizes starting at just 0.093 of an inch in diameter and 0.333 of an inch in length while weighing in at just 0.14 grams – ideal for the cramped design envelope of a motorsports vehicle.
Despite their size, our robust designs have been road-proven on countless tracks. They can withstand the harsh conditions, high temperatures, and extreme pressures of motorsports while still delivering the performance needed to win races.
Lee Chek check valves are available in many configurations for every conceivable motorsport application. Choose from ball-style or poppet-style sealing elements, axial or side-exit flow paths, metal, polymeric, or elastomeric seats, and insert or cartridge-style bodies. These options will allow you to optimize your design for different flow rates, packaging requirements, pressure differentials, and allowable leakage. In addition to our wide range of available catalog items, over half of the products we manufacture are designed for the unique needs of an individual application. Whether you require a different cracking pressure, flow rate, leakage, or envelope, contact us to develop the right solution, working engineer to engineer.
