Elesa+Ganter 111311 Visual Flow Indicator: HVF.92-3/8 Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 111311 visual flow indicator, listed as HVF.92-3/8, is built for hydraulic and fluid circuits where a larger flow capacity is needed than compact 1/4 inch versions can provide. With its G 3/8 connection and 92 mm body height, it offers a practical balance between visibility, durability and installation flexibility.

Technical Features

The HVF.92-3/8 has a G 3/8 cylindrical thread, 92 mm height, 60 mm length, 40 mm body width and 28 mm wrench size. It supports a maximum flow rate of 20 l/min and a maximum pressure of 15 bar. The standard HVF version uses brass bosses and a technopolymer-based structure designed for hydraulic-system accessories.

Function in Hydraulic Monitoring

Flow interruptions can affect cooling, lubrication and hydraulic performance. The Elesa+Ganter 111311 visual flow indicator provides a clear sight point in the circuit. When liquid passes through the indicator, the internal rotor moves, allowing operators to confirm flow with a simple visual check. This is especially helpful during start-up, inspection and troubleshooting.

Recommended Applications

This product is relevant for hydraulic power units, lubrication lines, coolant circuits, industrial machinery, filtration loops and process equipment where liquid flow must be visible. The 3/8 connection size makes it suitable for medium flow lines where a smaller visual indicator may not provide the required capacity.

Installation and Use

The HVF.92-3/8 supports two-way liquid flow and can be mounted in different positions. For rigid tube systems, keeping the indicator aligned with the piping is recommended. This helps avoid connection strain and supports stable visual operation. The minimum flow required to start the rotor depends on fluid type and viscosity, so operators should consider actual working conditions.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 111311 HVF.92-3/8?

It is a visual flow indicator for liquid circuits. It helps operators confirm whether fluid is moving through a hydraulic or industrial system.

What is the maximum flow rate?

The HVF.92-3/8 is specified with a maximum flow rate of 20 l/min, making it suitable for medium-size hydraulic and lubrication lines.

Is it suitable for two-way flow?

Yes. The HVF range is designed to operate with two-way liquid flow, which improves flexibility in different circuit layouts.

How should it be installed on rigid pipes?

It should be aligned carefully with the tubes. Good alignment reduces stress on the indicator and helps maintain reliable operation over time.
