25x50mm Long Tail Adaptor with O-Ring Seal

I only irrigate from my tank at night and have a time on my bore pump. It will only fill my tank at night when I’m irrigating but I still find my bore pump is cycling when I’m irrigating. Will the Hansen Leveller Valve help in this situation?
Yes, you will find the reservoir valve you are using at the moment is only supplying a flow close to your irrigation demand, with the Hansen Leveller Valve the flow delivery will be much higher and will allow your bore pump to run for less time as well as setting a differential in the tank to enable your pump to shut off for sensible periods.
In my dairy shed at peak water demand times I find my pump is cycling. As demand increases they run continuously and often can’t keep up, resulting in more water in troughs and other areas in my shed. Will your Leveller Valve fix this issue?
Yes, as long as your pumps are sized correctly to cover your peak demand the Hansen Leveller Valve will help by delivering a much higher flow at much lower pressure e.g. 400kPa (58 psi) = 772 l/min (170 gpm).
My rain water supply can get very dirty at times. Can the Rain Relief Valve cope with dirty water?
Yes, both the Slo-Flo and Rapid-Flo Rain Relief Valves are designed to handle dirty water.
My troughs have both 20mm & 25mm threaded inlets, does your Hansen Max-Flo Valve come in both sizes?
Yes, the Hansen Max-Flo Valve comes with the required components to install in 20mm or 25mm threaded inlets. This of course means you only need to buy one valve for all sized inlets.
My troughs have both 20mm & 25mm threaded inlets, does your Hansen Super-Flo Valve come in both sizes?
Yes, the Hansen Super-Flo Valve comes with the required components to install in 20mm or 25mm threaded inlets. This of course means you only need to buy one valve for all sized inlets.
The pressure at my compact trough is quite high and the compact float valves I have used either don’t last very long or they don’t shut off properly. Will the Hansen Mini Fast-Flo valve work with high pressure.
Yes, the Mino Fast-Flo Valve has the arm pivot point positioned to allow closing at pressures up to 12 bar (174psi).
The pressure at my header tank is quite high and the compact float valves I have used either don’t last very long or they don’t shut off properly and I find the overflow running. Will the Hansen Fast-Flo valve work with high pressure.
Yes, the Fast-Flo Valve has the arm pivot point positioned to allow closing at pressures up to 12 bar (174psi) with a 115mm float attached.
The valves I have a present have a tendency to jam open or closed costing me time and either a bog around my trough or no available water for my stock, will your valves stop this problem?
Yes, the Hansen Super-Flo valve has a new patent pending “Slipper Fit Piston” design seal assembly to minimise this problem.
What is the difference between the Rain Relief Valve and the Leveller Valve?
The Leveller Valve opens when a pre-defined minimum water level is reached and will fill your entire tank. The Rain Relief Valve will only supplement your tank with either 50mm or 100mm of water, depending on the float orientation.
What is the difference between the Slo-Flo Rain Relief Valve and the Rapid-Flo Rain Relief Valve?
The Rapid-Flo and Slo-Flo Rain Relief Valves are essentially the same valve. The key difference between them is that the Rapid-Flo valve is capable of functioning at full flow rate whereas the Slo-Flo valve is restricted to 2 l/min to conform to the Sydney Water Guidelines.
What pressure can I run my Hansen Max-Flo Valve at?
The Hansen Max-Flo Valve will operate from 0.2 bar to 12 bar.
What pressure can I run my Hansen Super-Flo Valve at?
The Hansen Sueper-Flo Valve will operate from 0.2 bar to 12 bar.
What size tank inlet do I need to fit the Hansen Fast-Flo Valve?
All Hansen float valves carry a 25mm (1”) female thread on the valve inlet. This gives you a couple of benefits. The valve will fit inlets from 15mm to 50mm when using our range of adaptors. The additional material used at the inlet to form the female thread strengthens the valve at an area that has been identified as a weak point in other brands of valves.

What temperature can I use Hansen fittings at?
Hansen have tested all its products for use with cold water up to a maximum temperature of 60°C (140°F). We do not recommend the use of these products with temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) as plastic expands due to temperature increases. Hansen cannot guarantee the products will perform when used with temperatures over 60°C (140°F). Hansen products that have failed in temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) will not be covered by our limited lifetime warranty.
What type of thread sealant should I use?
Use a thread sealant on all threaded connections. We recommend Loctite 5331.
Will the Hansen Fast-Flo valve work in my calf shed bowl troughs?
Yes, the Fast-Flo was designed as a compact valve for use in small bowls, compact troughs, feeders & header tanks or any situation where the valve space is confined.
Will the Hansen Mini Fast-Flo valve work in my calf shed bowl troughs?
Yes, the Mini Fast-Flo was designed as a compact valve for use in small bowls, compact troughs, feeders & header tanks or any situation where the valve space is confined.
Will the higher flow cost me more to run my pump?
No, because the Hansen Super-Flo valve is more efficient than what you are used to. The reduced operating pressure required will equate to higher flows at lower pressures at your pump which in turn will reduce pumping time and cost.
