Series P2-HK Plastic Coupling

The Series P2-HK coupling is intended for use with air, water and various chemicals at low pressure. It is designed for use where an
economical, light weight, corrorion resistant coupling is desired. All components, except springs and seals, are molded from natural
polypropylene with a UV inhibitor. Valve springs are 316 stainless steel. Viton seals are standard. EPDM (192) seals are optional.

TWO-WAY
Series 3-HK Steam Coupling
The Hansen Steam Coupling has a large diameter flange on the sleeve to aid gripping while the user wears heavy gloves.
EPDM (192) seals are standard, and can be used with steam at temperatures up to 350°F. Options are BSPP threads, sleeve lock,
EPDM (236) seals, for use with steam at temperatures above 350°F, and Viton (143) seals.

Release Clamp with Chain

When fluid lines may be subjected to a damaging pull, couplings can be mounted to disconnect automatically, sealing both ends of
a line against fluid loss. The socket sleeve can be anchored to a stationary bracket, either directly or with a chain. Excessive pull on the
plug end of the line moves the socket body forward relative to the sleeve, and the plug is released without damage to the line. Release
Clamp Assembly Kits are available for Series 1-HK through 8-HKP sockets.

Bleeder-Style Plugs
Bleeder-style plugs can be used on air lines to prevent hose whip when disconnecting a line by reducing the exhaust velocity of air.
Bleeder-style plugs can be used on hydraulic lines to prevent static pressure from building up in disconnected lines. Valves of these plugs
are manufactured such that a small leak path exists when the plug is disconnected. Bleeder-style plugs are available in Series
1-HK through 6-HKP.

Special Ordering Instructions

How to build a socket or plug part number with options:

Example: 4-HP26 - VAA - SL - 143

Standard Part Number Seal Material:

from Part Number Tables 115 = Teflon5
118 = Neoprene
NV = No Valve1 143 = Viton
VAA = Valve Actuator Assembly2 146 = Buna-N6
VB = Bleeder Valve (Plugs Only)3 192 = EPDM
235 = Kalrez7
SL = Sleeve Lock (Sockets Only)4 236 = EPDM (350°F+ Steam)8

TWO-WAY
Notes:
1) The NV option should be specified for a socket and a plug when a non-valved coupling is desired. Non-valved Series 1-HK
through 8-HKP plugs do not contain seals. Do not specify a seal material.
2) The VAA option should be specified for a socket or a plug when a one-way coupling is desired.
3) The VB option can be ordered for Series 1-HK through 6-HKP plugs to prevent pressure build-up in disconnected hydraulic lines
or to reduce hose whip when disconnecting pneumatic lines.
4) The Sleeve Lock device prevents accidental disconnection. Not available on sockets with prefix UL.
5) Series HK couplings are designed for use with elastomer seals. Teflon is not an elastomer. It is rigid and not resilient. Couplings
with Teflon seals may leak and/or be difficult to connect. Force to connect may be reduced by heating connected couplings in hot
water; then, cooling before disconnecting. Teflon seals are available for Series 1-HK through 8-HKP, except Series P2-HK.
6) The 146 seal option may be specified for fuels and hydraulic fluids that are known to cause standard Buna-N seals to
swell excessively.
7) Couplings with Kalrez seals are available by special quotation.
8) The 236 seal option should be ordered for use with steam at or above 350°F. The 192 seal option should be ordered for hot water
above 180°F and steam below 350°F.
9) Some part numbers may be subject to minimum order quantities.
10) Some options may be available only by special quotation. Consult your Hansen distributor.
