Description

A check valve is not a PCV valve, and swapping one for the other creates a vacuum leak your tuner will chase for weeks.

The Radium Engineering PCV valve, 10AN ORB to 10mm SAE male is a true positive crankcase ventilation valve whose internal plunger dynamically meters crankcase vent airflow against engine load, rather than simply passing flow one direction. That metering is what prevents the vacuum leak a plain check valve creates at low load, and in a backfire the valve blocks combustible vapor from igniting inside the crankcase. It threads into the outlet of any Radium catch can or any 10AN ORB female port and terminates in a 10mm SAE quick connect male, the size common on European crankcase plumbing.

Features

  • Inlet: 10AN ORB (7/8in-14 threads)
  • Outlet: 10mm SAE quick connect male
  • 6061 aluminum, type-II anodized
  • FKM and silicone sealing O-rings
  • Load-metering plunger, not a one-way check valve

The Details

This is the straight-body version, which fits standard catch cans, standard Fluid Lock catch cans, Competition catch cans, and PCV baffle plates without any clearance consideration. The swiveling 20-1000 series PCV valves need an extra 0.26 inch of depth past the threads and will not fit standard or standard Fluid Lock cans. For a 5/16 inch SAE outlet instead of 10mm, use 20-0683.

Applications

  • Universal, any Radium catch can outlet or 10AN ORB female port connecting to a 10mm SAE quick connect line
