25mm Stainless Steel Split Pin
Product
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 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.
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 Mini 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 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.
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.
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).
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 size tank inlet do I need to fit the Hansen Mini 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.
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.
