HEWITT

HEWITT is a manufacturer of fluid-handling components, primarily serving the fuel-transfer and industrial-equipment sectors. The brand is recognized for its swivel connectors and inline strainers, which are designed to facilitate flexible piping connections and protect downstream equipment from particulate contamination. HEWITT products are constructed from aluminum, offering a balance of corrosion resistance and weight reduction for applications involving diesel, gasoline, and other petroleum-based fluids. The swivel connectors feature British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads, available in both parallel (BSPF) and tapered (BSPM) configurations, with inlet and discharge sizes ranging from 1 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch. These swivels allow for rotational movement in fuel lines, reducing stress on hoses and fittings during installation or operation. The inline strainers, also aluminum-bodied, are designed for suction-side installation on fuel transfer pumps, with mesh elements that trap debris without causing excessive pressure drop. HEWITT components are typically rated for moderate pressure and temperature ranges consistent with standard fuel-handling systems. 3G Electric supplies a selection of HEWITT swivel connectors and inline strainers, supporting global procurement for plant engineers and maintenance managers who require reliable, field-proven parts for burner fuel trains, pump suction lines, and bulk-storage transfer systems. The product range covers common BSP thread sizes, enabling direct replacement in existing installations without adapter fittings. By stocking multiple SKUs, 3G Electric provides logistics support for both scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs, ensuring that HEWITT components are available for projects requiring consistent fluid flow and minimal downtime.

Common Applications

  • Fuel transfer pump suction lines — HEWITT inline strainers protect pump internals from debris in diesel and gasoline systems.
  • Bulk storage tank outlet connections — HEWITT swivel connectors allow flexible piping alignment during tanker offloading.
  • Industrial burner fuel trains — HEWITT swivels reduce hose stress in lines supplying oil or diesel to burners.
  • Mobile refueling equipment — HEWITT aluminum components minimize weight on truck-mounted fuel delivery systems.
  • Generator fuel supply systems — HEWITT strainers ensure clean fuel flow to standby generator engines.
  • Hydraulic oil return lines — HEWITT swivels accommodate movement in low-pressure hydraulic circuits.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about HEWITT from 3G Electric.

What thread types are used on HEWITT swivel connectors?

HEWITT swivel connectors use British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads. Inlet and discharge ports are available in BSPF (parallel female) and BSPM (tapered male) configurations. Common sizes include 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch. The combination of thread types allows for flexible connection to standard BSP fittings and hoses used in fuel-transfer systems.

Are HEWITT inline strainers suitable for diesel fuel applications?

Yes, HEWITT inline strainers are designed for fuel transfer pumps and are compatible with diesel, gasoline, and similar petroleum-based fluids. The aluminum body provides corrosion resistance, and the strainer element captures particulates that could damage pump internals. They are typically installed on the suction side of the pump to protect against debris from storage tanks.

What is the body material of HEWITT swivel connectors and strainers?

Both HEWITT swivel connectors and inline strainers are constructed from aluminum. Aluminum offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and resists corrosion in fuel-handling environments. This material choice reduces overall system weight compared to steel or brass alternatives, which can simplify installation and support requirements.

Can HEWITT swivel connectors be used to reduce hose twisting in fuel lines?

Yes, HEWITT swivel connectors are specifically designed to allow rotational movement between connected components. This reduces torsional stress on hoses and rigid piping, preventing kinking and extending service life. They are commonly used in fuel delivery systems where hoses must flex during tanker loading or pump operation.

How do I select the correct HEWITT strainer for my pump?

Select a HEWITT strainer based on the pump's inlet size and flow rate. The strainers are designed for suction-side installation, so ensure the connection threads match your pump's inlet (BSPF or BSPM). Check the compatible manufacturer model numbers listed in the product specifications to confirm fitment with common pump brands.
