Knuckle Union Components - Hansen Quick Connect

Hansen Knuckle Union Components

Application

The assembled unit requires a Socket and Ball combination. Sockets will not connect to Sockets and Balls will not connect to Balls.

Socket side parts include the common centre nut.

The Knuckle Union is used to connect and disconnect pipework or valves quickly and easily from pumps and existing installations. This component has the added benefit of a 9 degree ‘Knuckle’ movement, which provides greater flexibility at installation and removes the necessity of the pipework having to line up exactly with your pump.
