Elesa+Ganter 111341 HVF.114-1 Visual Flow Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 111341 visual flow indicator, also known as HVF.114-1, is designed for monitoring two-way liquid flow in hydraulic and fluid-control systems. This 1-inch visual flow indicator uses polypropylene-based technopolymer ends, a red PP rotor propeller, and a high-resistance borosilicate glass tubular window. The clear window supports reliable visibility from different viewing angles, making it practical for maintenance teams who need a quick visual confirmation of flow without interrupting the circuit.

Key Technical Features

The HVF.114-1 model has a G 1 cylindrical gas thread, 114 mm height, 70 mm length, and a maximum flow rate of 80 l/min. Its maximum pressure rating is 12 bar, while the minimum flow rate required to start the rotor is 2.1 l/min for water, 3.7 l/min for fluids between 0 and 40 cSt, and 5 l/min for fluids between 41 and 150 cSt. The pressure drop is listed at 0.15 bar, and the recommended maximum tightening torque is 20 Nm.

Applications

This component is often used in hydraulic units, lubrication systems, cooling circuits, and machine-tool installations where visual flow checking is important. Because it can be mounted in any position, it gives engineers flexibility during system design. For rigid tube installation, alignment with the tubes is important to avoid stress on the indicator body.

Why It Matters in Fluid Systems

A visual flow indicator helps detect flow loss, unstable movement, or circuit interruption before these issues become operational failures. The Elesa+Ganter 111341 HVF.114-1 visual flow indicator is particularly useful where operators need immediate visual feedback rather than electronic measurement.
