Elesa+Ganter 111312 Visual Flow Indicator: HVF.92-SST-3/8 Technical Guide

The Elesa+Ganter 111312 visual flow indicator, also called HVF.92-SST-3/8, is a stainless steel boss version of the HVF visual flow indicator range. It is designed for hydraulic and industrial liquid systems where operators need direct visual confirmation of flow, combined with stronger material performance at the connection points.

Technical Specification Profile

This model uses a G 3/8 connection, 92 mm body height, 60 mm length, 40 mm body width and 28 mm wrench size. It is specified for a maximum flow rate of 20 l/min and a maximum pressure of 15 bar. The SST construction includes AISI 316 stainless steel bosses, making it a strong option for applications where corrosion resistance and long-term reliability are important.

How It Supports Maintenance

The Elesa+Ganter 111312 visual flow indicator gives maintenance teams an immediate way to check whether liquid is moving through the line. Instead of relying only on indirect symptoms, technicians can observe the rotor movement through the sight tube. This supports faster troubleshooting when pumps, filters, valves or fluid paths require inspection.

Application Areas

The HVF.92-SST-3/8 is suitable for hydraulic equipment, lubrication systems, cooling circuits, industrial machinery and fluid transfer lines. Its 3/8 size and 20 l/min maximum flow capacity make it a practical choice for medium-flow applications. The stainless steel boss configuration is especially valuable in more demanding environments compared with standard brass-boss alternatives.

Installation Guidance

The indicator can be mounted in different orientations and is designed for two-way liquid flow. When used with rigid tubing, it should be installed in line with the pipework to avoid unnecessary stress. Flow behaviour should be evaluated according to the viscosity of the working fluid, because the rotor start point changes with different fluid conditions.

Elesa+Ganter 111312 FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 111312 HVF.92-SST-3/8 used for?

It is used to visually confirm liquid flow in hydraulic, cooling, lubrication and industrial fluid circuits. The internal rotor provides a simple flow indication.

What is the advantage of the SST version?

The SST version uses AISI 316 stainless steel bosses. This gives the product stronger resistance in demanding environments where standard brass connections may not be preferred.

What flow rate does this product support?

The HVF.92-SST-3/8 supports a maximum flow rate of 20 l/min, which makes it suitable for medium-flow industrial liquid lines.

Can this model be used in both flow directions?

Yes. It is designed for two-way liquid flow, giving engineers more flexibility when integrating it into hydraulic or fluid circuits.
