25x25mm Long Tail Adaptor with O-Ring Seal
Product
At certain times of the year I need to run portable troughs in my paddocks, is it possible to run these off my existing Super-Flo valve?
Yes, the Super-Flo trough Valve incorporates a 25mm (1”) thread on the valve outlet which you can utilise the spare adaptors that come with the valve to enable you to attach any number of poly pipe fittings to the Super-Flo trough Valve. This off take can be used for any number of farm applications.
At present I get valve bounce in my troughs, will the Max-Flo valve stop this?
Yes, valve bounce is created from high flows at high pressures, because our Hansen Max-Flo valve delivers higher flows than other valves it will effectively reduce line pressure which in return will reduce the incidences of this problem by also reducing water hammer.

At present I have noticed some shuddering and noise in my pipelines when my pump starts and stops, will your valve stop this?
Yes, this is called water hammer, we have designed the Hansen Max-Flo Valve to open and close slower than other valves effectively varying the flows at these times to minimise the chance of water hammer.
Can I use Hansen True Fit Fittings under driveways, paths and foundations?
Hansen does not recommend the use of any Hansen True Fit Fittings under any driveways, paths or foundations.
Can I use my Hansen fittings with my swimming pool/spa pool set up?
No, as the high concentration of chlorine used in the water for pools will attack the material. The fitting material is only suitable for use with domestic water. Hansen products that are used in this application will not be covered by our limited lifetime warranty.
Can I use the Hansen Max-Flo Valve as a top entry valve with an air gap?
Yes, the Hansen Max-Flo Valve can be installed at the top, side or bottom entry as all components come with each valve.
Can I use these fittings with metal fittings?
Yes. For more information on installation tips refer to installation instructions.
Do I need to support my fittings?
Yes. All pipe work must be adequately supported.
Does this fitting carry Hansen’s Limited Lifetime Warranty?
Yes, all Hansen manufactured products carry our Limited Lifetime Warranty*

For years now I have had problems with filling my tanks as my water supply can get very dirty at times. I believe I have purchased every valve on the market and all have let me down at some point. Will the Hansen Leveller Valve finally fix my problem?
Yes, our range of HiFlo Valves are designed to handle dirty water. The Hansen Leveller Valve which is based on our diaphragm valves it is unique in that it has a pin that cleans the pilot hole in the diaphragm every time it opens and closes. In addition to that the gap between the diaphragm and the valve body when open is a huge 14mm further reducing potential blockages.
How tight should I tighten my Hansen threaded fittings?
Do not over tighten. The right way to assemble a threaded fitting is hand tight plus one to two turns – no more! For more information on installation tips refer to installation instructions.
I have a compact float valve in a header tank. The flow is too low into the tank and won’t keep up with our requirements. I can’t fit a larger valve into this tank, if I replace it with a Hansen Fast-Flo valve will the flow be any better?
Yes, the Fast-Flo valve has the highest flow of any valve in its class/size. At 500 kPa (73psi) it will deliver 56 l/min
I have a header tank in my house that is very noisy while filling, will the Hansen Fast-Flo valve be any quieter?
The noise while the tank is filling is caused by the high velocity of the water from the valve outlet into the tank. The Fast-Flo valve outlet doubles as a spigot so you can attach a length of hose to allow the flow to be placed onto the bottom of the tank eliminating this noise.
I have a header tank in my house that is very noisy while filling, will the Hansen Mini Fast-Flo valve be any quieter?
The noise while the tank is filling is caused by the high velocity of the water from the valve outlet into the tank. The Mini Fastflo valve outlet doubles as a spigot so you can attached a length of hose to allow the flow to be placed onto the bottom of the tank eliminating this noise.
I have found the rubber seats in the compact trough valves I am using don’t last very long, does the Hansen Fast-Flo valve use the same rubber seat?
No, the seat we use in Hansen Float Valves are urethane which is a very durable and hard material. The seal is also reversible if a foreign body should damage it.

I have noticed my pump switching on and off rapidly at times, will your leveller valve stop this?
Yes, this is called cycling and can drastically reduce the life of your pump. The Hansen Leveller Valve is designed to control your pump safely by eliminating pump cycling and providing an adjustable water differential depth in your tank.
I have problems with having to constantly clean my valves as my water supply can get dirty at times, how will the Hansen Max-Flo valve handle these conditions?
Our patent pending “Self Cleaning Pilot” will increase durability and suitability in dirty water situations.
I have problems with having to forever clean my valves as my water supply can get dirty at times, how will the Hansen Super-Flo valve handle these conditions?
We have designed the Hansen Super-Flo valve to work in either clean or dirty water situations.
