BAUER FEMALE HOSE TAIL
Specification
- 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.
- 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.
- Size Range:
- Common sizes range from 2 inches to 8 inches in diameter, aligning with standard hose sizes.
- Pressure Rating:
- Typically designed to handle pressures up to 20 bar (290 psi), though this can vary based on size and material.
- Finish:
- Galvanized: Standard finish providing excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, suitable for most environmental conditions.
Classification
- By Size:
- Small: 2 inches, 3 inches.
- Medium: 4 inches, 6 inches.
- Large: 8 inches.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
