Can the Quick-connect socket with GW NPT, HANSEN BEVERAGE be safely used interchangeably between 2HG (gas) and 2HL (liquid) couplings given their different plug diameters and identification markings?

No . the Quick-connect socket with GW NPT, HANSEN BEVERAGE must not be used interchangeably between 2HG (gas) and 2HL (liquid). The two versions have different plug diameters specifically to prevent incorrect connections. They are easily distinguished: gas sockets have a white identification ring and gas plugs have a notched hexagon; liquid sockets have a black identification ring and liquid plugs have an unnotched hexagon. Use the matching pair for safe operation within the specified working pressure (15 bar) and operating temperature (up to +130Â°C).

Does the Quick-connect socket with GW NPT, HANSEN BEVERAGE require different maintenance for 2HG (gas) vs 2HL (liquid) versions?

Quick-connect socket with GW NPT, HANSEN BEVERAGE: No, the 2HG (gas) and 2HL (liquid) versions do not require different routine maintenance procedures. Both versions share the same construction, working pressure (15 bar) and operating temperature (up to +130Â°C), so cleaning, inspection, lubrication and replacement intervals are the same. The only critical operational difference is that the versions are not interchangeable (different plug diameters) and are visually identified by the socket ring (white = gas, black = liquid) and plug hexagon notch (gas has notch, liquid does not). Ensure maintenance checks include verifying correct pairing, seal integrity and pressure-appropriate condition; follow any site-specific safety procedures for gas vs liquid systems.

How to identify 2HG vs 2HL on the Quick-connect socket with GW NPT, HANSEN BEVERAGE before connecting?

Quick-connect socket with GW NPT, HANSEN BEVERAGE Format. how to identify 2HG vs 2HL before connecting - Visual check of the identification ring on the socket: - 2HG (gas): identification ring is white. - 2HL (liquid): identification ring is black. - Visual check of the plug hexagon: - 2HG (gas): hexagon on the plug has a notch. - 2HL (liquid): hexagon on the plug has no notch. Note: Versions are not interchangeable (different plug diameters) to prevent connection errors. Working pressure: 15 bar. Operating temperature: up to +130Â°C.

Socket quick coupling with NPT female thread, HANSEN BEVERAGE

Additional information

Material	SS – stainless steel

Socket quick coupling Hansen Beverage with a thread internal NPT. The couplings are available in two versions: for gases type 2HG and for liquids type 2HL. These versions are not interchangeable with each other (different plug diameter), which allows avoiding mistakes in connection. Recognizing the version is very easy. For gas couplings, the identification ring on the socket is white, and the hexagon on the plug has a notch. For liquid couplings, the identification ring on the socket is black, and the hexagon on the plug has no notch. pressure working: 15 bar. Operating temperature: up to +130°C.
