Elesa+Ganter 111302 Visual Flow Indicator: HVF.66-SST-1/4 Technical Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 111302 visual flow indicator, also known as HVF.66-SST-1/4, is designed for hydraulic and lubrication systems where operators need a clear visual confirmation of fluid movement. Its compact 66 mm body height and G 1/4 connection make it suitable for smaller circuits, test benches, cooling lines and machine assemblies where space is limited but flow visibility remains important.
Technical Design and Materials
This model belongs to the HVF-SST range, which uses AISI 316 stainless steel bosses for stronger resistance in demanding environments. The body includes technopolymer end elements, a borosilicate glass sight tube and a visible rotor that helps maintenance teams confirm whether liquid is moving through the line. With a maximum flow rate of 10 l/min and a maximum pressure rating of 25 bar, the unit is well suited to controlled industrial fluid applications.
Why the HVF.66-SST-1/4 Matters in Hydraulic Systems
In many hydraulic circuits, flow loss is not immediately obvious. A visual flow indicator gives technicians a fast, direct way to check operation without connecting external measuring instruments. The Elesa+Ganter 111302 visual flow indicator can be mounted in different positions and supports two-way liquid flow, which adds flexibility during system design. For rigid piping, alignment with the tubes is important to support stable performance and reduce mechanical stress.
Key Application Areas
The HVF.66-SST-1/4 is commonly relevant for lubrication monitoring, coolant circulation, hydraulic power units, compact automation equipment and fluid transfer lines. Its stainless steel connection elements make it a strong option where corrosion resistance and material reliability are priorities. The rotor starts moving at different minimum flow values depending on fluid viscosity, helping operators interpret system behaviour more accurately.

Elesa+Ganter 111302 Visual Flow Indicator FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 111302 HVF.66-SST-1/4 used for?
It is used to visually monitor liquid flow in hydraulic, lubrication and cooling circuits. The rotating internal element provides a quick indication that fluid is moving through the system.
Is the 111302 model suitable for compact installations?
Yes. Its 66 mm height, 44 mm length and G 1/4 connection make it a practical choice for compact machine layouts where a larger flow indicator would be difficult to install.
What makes the SST version different?
The SST version uses AISI 316 stainless steel bosses and sealing suitable for more demanding environments. This makes it preferable when corrosion resistance or higher material durability is important.
Can it work with flow in both directions?
Yes. The HVF visual flow indicator range is designed for two-way liquid flow, making it useful in systems where flow direction may vary depending on operating conditions.
