What's the max pressure and flow this check valve can handle? Got a refuse hauler running a pretty stout hydraulic circuit and want to make sure it'll hold up.

Rated at 350 bar (5000 psi) and capable of handling up to 227 litres per minute (60 US gallons per minute), this valve has the headroom for demanding mobile circuits like what you're describing. The nominal flow rate under standard conditions sits at 30 litres per minute, so it's well within range for refuse hauler applications. The poppet-style design also keeps leakage minimal, which helps maintain consistent flow direction in circuits where that matters.

Is this valve suitable for use with a hydraulic system on a refuse truck?

Absolutely. This Vickers CV3-8 series check valve is suited for use in refuse haulers, along with harvesters, and general mobile or industrial applications.
