I
have laid my pipe and connected my joiners. I came back in the morning
to find that the pipe and fittings had come apart.
When
laying pipe ensure there is sufficient slack in the pipe to allow for
expansion and contraction of the pipe as the ambient temperature changes.
What
type of pipes will Hansen fittings connect to?
New
Zealand L.D.P.E. (Low Density Polythene Pipe), EnduroFlex2, Australian
Rural Class B, Irish Imperial Polythene Pipes and a variety of suction
& soft Hoses for general use (including wash down hose and non toxic
tube).
What
is the best size of pipe for my needs?
Refer
to a qualified water reticulation installer for professional advice to
suit your needs.
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 warranty.
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 warranty.
Can I use Hansen fittings in marine applications?
Yes. While marine applications vary, Hansen fittings are resistant to sea water. The fittings will not leach any substances that will be harmful to marine life. Hansen fittings have provided excellent service in marine applications for many years without failure. If you require further information, please contact us by email with details regarding your application.
