Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Lee Company's Industrial Micro-Hydraulics Group introduces the 558 LC Series Press-In Chek™ Valve, a miniature cartridge-style check valve designed for installation into plastics. It offers a 78% increase in flow capacity over the previous 5.5 mm CCPI series and features all stainless-steel construction for compatibility with various fluids and gases. The valve's barbed design allows for easy press-in installation, ensuring retention and preventing leakage. It supports bidirectional installation for forward or reverse flow, enhancing system design flexibility. The valve is robustly designed with a metal-to-metal seat for low leakage and consistent performance, verified through 100% functional testing.
Performance Specifications
  • Lohm Rate: 140 Lohms
  • Leakage: 20 sccm/min (max) at 172 kPa (25 psid) on air; 1 Drop/min (max) on water
  • Materials: Stainless Steel for body, cage, ball, and spring
  • Maximum working pressure depends on housing material, configuration, and operating conditions
Installation and Design Features
  • Press-in Design: Simplifies installation
  • Bidirectional Installation: Allows for forward or reverse flow capabilities
  • Leak Tight: Ensures efficient system performance
  • 100% Tested: Eliminates rework
Technical Details
  • Cracking Pressure Options: Ranges from 0 kPa to 500 kPa with various tolerances
  • Flow vs. Pressure: Detailed graphs provided for water at 80°F (27°C)
Lohm Laws and Liquid Flow Formula
The document explains the Lohm system, a method for defining fluid resistance in hydraulic components, analogous to Ohms in electrical systems. Lohms account for discharge coefficients and dimensional tolerances, simplifying hydraulic computations. The document provides formulas for liquid flow, introducing compensation factors for density and viscosity, applicable to various liquids and conditions.
Installation Instructions
To install, press the valve into a plastic installation hole until flush. The valve supports both forward and reverse flow installations, with specific tools available for each orientation. Suitable plastics include Nylon, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Acetal, and PEEK. For other plastics, consult a Lee Sales Engineer. The valves are not designed for metal installations.

product data sheet LEE IMH Chek™ Valve - 558 LC Series Press-In ■ Press-in Design - Simple Installation ■ Bidirectional Installation - Provides Forward or Reverse Flow Capabilities - Design Flexibility ■ Leak Tight - Efficient System Performance ■ 100% Tested - Eliminates Rework The Lee Company’s Industrial MicroHydraulics Group (IMH) introduces the latest addition to our line of miniature cartridge-style check valves specifically designed for installation into plastics. The new 558 LC Series Press-In ChekTM Valve offers more than a 78% increase in flow capacity over the existing 5.5 mm CCPI series check valve. This new valve features all stainless-steel construction, providing compatibility with a wide range of fluids and gases. Its unique barbed design provides easy “press-in” installation, ensures retention and prevents any bypass leakage around the valve. The valve can be installed in either direction, allowing for forward or reverse flow capabilities, offering system design flexibility. A high quality metal-to-metal seat provides low leakage and highly repeatable cracking pressure. This robust design and 100% functional testing ensures consistent long-term performance.
