Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Lee IMH Chek™ Valve – 855 LC2 Series Press-In, a miniature cartridge-style check valve designed for installation into plastics. It offers a 65% increase in flow capacity over the previous 8.0 mm CCPI series and is constructed entirely of stainless steel, ensuring compatibility with various fluids and gases.
Specifications
The valve features a unique barbed design for easy press-in installation, ensuring retention and preventing bypass leakage. It has a high-quality metal-to-metal seat for low leakage and repeatable cracking pressure. The valve is 100% functionally tested for consistent long-term performance. Key specifications include a Lohm rate of 45 Lohms, maximum leakage of 20 sccm/min at 172 kPa on air, and 1 drop/min on water. The body, cage, ball, and spring are made of stainless steel.
Performance
The valve's maximum working pressure depends on the housing material, configuration, and operating conditions. The document provides a flow curve for a 40 kPa valve, illustrating the relationship between pressure drop (ΔP) and flow rate.
Installation
The valve can be installed bidirectionally, allowing for forward or reverse flow capabilities. It is designed for simple press-in installation into plastics with sufficient elongation, such as Nylon, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Acetal, and PEEK. Installation tools are available for different flow orientations.
Lohm Laws
The document explains the Lohm system, a method for defining fluid resistance in hydraulic components, similar to Ohms in electrical systems. Lohms account for factors like discharge coefficients and dimensional tolerances, simplifying hydraulic computations. The document provides formulas for calculating flow resistance using Lohms, applicable to various liquids and conditions.
Flow Units
The document includes tables for volumetric and gravimetric flow units, providing conversion constants for different pressure units (psi, bar, kPa) and flow units (GPM, L/min, ml/min, in3/min, PPH, gm/min).

product data sheet LEE IMH Chek™ Valve - 855 LC2 Series Press-In ■ 100% Tested - Eliminates Rework ■ Bidirectional Installation - Provides Forward or Reverse Flow Capabilities - Design Flexibility ■ Press-in Design - Simple Installation ■ Leak Tight - Efficient System Performance The Lee Company’s Industrial MicroHydraulics Group (IMH) introduces the newest addition to our line of miniature cartridge-style check valves specifically designed for installation into plastics. The new 855 LC2 Series Press-In Chek Valve offers more than a 65% increase in flow capacity over the existing 8.0 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. 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.

To install, simply press the valve into a plastic installation hole until the valve is flush minimum with the top of the installation hole. The valve can be installed in either direction, providing forward or reverse flow capabilities. Lee installation tools for each flow orientation are available as follows: Installation Tool Part Number: CCRT0065726S for reverse flow orientation installations, Tool Part Number: CCRT0900180S for forward flow orientation installations. t These valves can be pressed directly into plastics that have sufficient elongation such as Nylon, Polyethylene, Polypropylene,...
