BAUER FEMALE HOSE TAIL

Specification

  1. Material:
    • Body: Typically made from galvanized steel, which offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
    • Seal: Usually equipped with a rubber or EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) seal to ensure a leak-proof connection.
  2. Connection Type:
    • Bauer Female Coupling: The female end has a latching mechanism that securely connects to the male Bauer fitting.
    • Hose Tail: Designed to fit inside a flexible hose and is secured with a hose clamp or crimp.
  3. Size Range:
    • Common sizes range from 2 inches to 8 inches in diameter, aligning with standard hose sizes.
  4. Pressure Rating:
    • Typically designed to handle pressures up to 20 bar (290 psi), though this can vary based on size and material.
  5. Finish:
    • Galvanized: Standard finish providing excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, suitable for most environmental conditions.

Classification

  1. By Size:
    • Small: 2 inches, 3 inches.
    • Medium: 4 inches, 6 inches.
    • Large: 8 inches.
  2. By Material:
    • Galvanized Steel: Commonly used due to its strength and corrosion resistance.
    • Stainless Steel: Used in applications requiring higher corrosion resistance, such as in chemical or marine environments.

Description

  1. Applications:
    • Agriculture: Used for irrigation and slurry handling.
    • Construction: Utilized in dewatering and water supply systems on construction sites.
    • Industrial: Suitable for transferring various industrial liquids.
    • Waste Management: Employed in sewage and waste water systems.
  2. Advantages:
    • Durability: Made from robust materials that can withstand rough handling and harsh conditions.
    • Quick Connection: The Bauer coupling system allows for rapid and secure connection and disconnection.
    • Versatility: Can handle a wide range of fluids including water, slurry, and some chemicals.
    • Leak-Proof: Equipped with seals to ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
  3. Limitations:
    • Weight: Can be relatively heavy, especially in larger sizes, making them less ideal for applications requiring frequent handling.
    • Corrosion: While galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, it may not be suitable for highly corrosive environments without additional protection.
    • Pressure Limitations: Generally suited for medium to low-pressure applications.
  4. Maintenance and Care:
    • Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear, rust, or damage, particularly on the sealing surfaces.
    • Seal Maintenance: Replace seals periodically to maintain a leak-proof connection.
    • Cleaning: Clean regularly to prevent buildup of dirt and debris that can compromise the connection.
    • Proper Storage: Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion when not in use.
