1/2" Push-to-Connect 0.7 PSI Cracking Union Check Valve
SMC AKH13-00 Pneumatic Check Valve 1/2" One-Touch Push-to-Connect Union used on end of 1/2" poly tubing in the Bug Spray Applicator and Front/Rear Bumper Blaster
The SMC AKH13-00 is a high-performance, straight union-style pneumatic check valve designed for reliable directional flow control in low-pressure air and water systems. Featuring a highly sensitive 0.7 PSI (0.005 MPa) cracking pressure, this valve opens under minimal force while providing immediate, positive backflow prevention to protect sensitive upstream components.
Engineered with premium one-touch push-to-connect fittings on both the inlet and outlet ports, it allows for quick, tool-free installation directly onto 1/2" OD tubing. Its compact, lightweight body makes it ideal for tight plumbing footprints.
Key features and benefits include:
- Ultra-Low Cracking Pressure: Opens at just 0.7 PSI, making it excellent for low-pressure applications.
- Tool-Free Installation: Dual 1/2" push-to-connect ports accept polyurethane, nylon, and soft nylon tubing for fast, leak-free connections.
- Visual Flow Direction: Clearly marked body indicator ensures proper orientation during installation.
- Straight Union Design: In-line, compact geometry seamlessly integrates into existing tubing runs without adding bulk.
