HANSEN
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HANSEN from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in HANSEN FF Series quick-connect couplings?
HANSEN FF Series quick-connect couplings are available with steel bodies, as seen in models like the 19FFP106UN and 16FFS75. Steel provides durability for hydraulic applications with pressures up to 3000 psi (depending on size). Some HANSEN couplings may also be offered in brass or stainless steel for corrosion resistance, but the FF Series primarily uses steel for standard hydraulic service.
How do HANSEN push-to-connect couplings differ from sleeve-lock couplings?
HANSEN push-to-connect couplings, such as those in the FF Series, use a locking mechanism that engages when the plug is inserted into the body, requiring no additional action to secure the connection. Sleeve-lock couplings, like the oxygen quick-disconnect plugs (e.g., MPN 08A), require the user to pull back a sleeve to connect or disconnect, providing a more positive lock for gas applications. The choice depends on the need for speed versus security in the connection.
What is the maximum flow rate for HANSEN 3/4 in FF Series couplings?
The HANSEN 19FFP106UN, a 3/4 in FF Series coupling plug, has a maximum flow rate of 105 lpm (approximately 27.7 gpm). This rating is based on the coupling size and internal bore design. For smaller sizes, such as the 3/8 in 10FFP75UN, the maximum flow rate is 29 lpm. Always verify flow requirements against the specific model's specifications to ensure adequate performance.
Are HANSEN oxygen couplings compatible with medical gas systems?
HANSEN oxygen quick-disconnect couplings, such as the 08A (5/16 in hose barb) and 07A (1/4 in hose barb), are designed for oxygen service and feature a green color code for identification. They use a sleeve-lock mechanism and are typically used in medical gas or industrial oxygen systems. However, compatibility with specific medical gas standards (e.g., NFPA 99) should be confirmed by the end user, as HANSEN does not explicitly list medical certifications on these products.
What thread types are available on HANSEN quick-connect couplings?
HANSEN quick-connect couplings are available with various thread types, including UNF (Unified Fine) and NPT (National Pipe Thread). For example, the 04R oxygen plug uses a 9/16 in UNF thread, while the FF Series plugs like the 10FFP75UN use a 3/4 in-16 thread. Thread sizes range from 1/4 in to 1-1/16 in, depending on the model. Always match the thread type and size to your system's connections to ensure a leak-free fit.
