Elesa+Ganter enhances its 'Hydraulics' production line.

Elesa+Ganter's GN 880 oil drain valve speeds up the used oil draining and makes the job neater and cleaner.

The small standard elements available in different sizes replace the conventional drain plugs in the oil sumps of vehicles or machines. The

matching connector piece GN 880.1 ensures the controlled draining of the used medium. Bolted to the oil drain valve with a union nut, it

operates its valve plate and allows the oil to flow straight into the collecting pan without polluting the environment. The connector piece is

available as a straight, 45-degree or 90-degree variant, suitable for virtually any installation situation.

Temperature resistant up to 160¦C and pressure resistant up to 100 bar, the GN 880 oil drain valve is a true all-rounder. The valve body is

made of zinc-plated passivated steel or brass, while the seal tightness is guaranteed by an O-ring at the valve plate and a metal sealing

ring at the point the unit is screwed in. Designed for long service life, tests involving 50,000 operating actions have shown no signs of malfunction or wear and tear.

Elesa+Ganter's product range now also offers ventilation and breathing valves, for instance the GN 881 breather valve which automatically

opens inside the tank at a pressure above 200 mbar and so avoids problematic excess pressure from building up. With its stainless steel

pressure spring and the brass sealing disc with silicon-rubber coating, the GN 881 has been designed for long service life. The same

function is provided by the less complex GN 883 breather valve with its pressure spring and ball combination, but with no less reliability.

The GN 882 ventilation and breather valve operates in both directions, allowing a defined volume of air into and out of the container. The

integrated stainless steel wire mesh of filter category G2-G3 prevents dirt particles from penetrating the tank from the outside and oil

particles from escaping from the container. GN 882 is available in the sizes M12 to M30 and in four inch-based sizes.
