Kobelt 7143 Non-Drain Back Valve - Hydraulic Retention Valve for Power Steering Systems, 15 GPM, 1500 PSI

Kobelt 7143 Non-Drain Back Valve - Hydraulic Retention Valve for Power Steering Systems, 15 GPM, 1500 PSI

The Kobelt 7143 Non-Drain Back Valve is a specialized component designed for use in power steering systems. Its primary function is to retain hydraulic fluid within the system when the power-driven hydraulic pumps are not operational, ensuring that the helm pump can be used without losing fluid. This valve helps prevent the fluid from draining back to the main tank, a common issue in many steering systems. As a result, it allows the helm pump to operate effectively even in emergency conditions, extending the life of the manual steering system.

Made from durable die-cast silicon bronze, the Kobelt 7143 Non-Drain Back Valve is designed to withstand high pressures and heavy-duty conditions. It has a capacity of 15 GPM and operates at a maximum pressure of 1500 psi. For optimal performance, it is essential to ensure that the valve is used with a buffer system when combined with Kobelt Power Assist Units (models 7147 or 7148). Additionally, when installed on servo steering systems, it is important to use non-vented plugs and ensure the header tank is sealed to prevent fluid loss or damage.

• Hydraulic Fluid Retention: Prevents fluid loss by retaining hydraulic fluid in the system when power pumps are off.
• High Capacity: Can handle up to 15 GPM to support efficient operation of the steering system.
• Durable Construction: Made from die-cast silicon bronze for high strength and corrosion resistance.
• Maximum Pressure: Designed to operate under high pressures up to 1500 psi.
• Emergency Use: Allows the helm pump to be used indefinitely in emergency situations without draining fluid.
• Easy Installation: Ideal for power steering and servo steering systems when installed with appropriate components.
