Can the Quick Coupling Socket with Male UNF Cone 90° – Hansen Beverage be used interchangeably for gas (2HG) and liquid (2HL) lines?

No — the Quick Coupling Socket with Male UNF Cone 90° – Hansen Beverage cannot be used interchangeably for gas (2HG) and liquid (2HL) lines. The product is offered in two dedicated versions (2HG for gases, 2HL for liquids) with different plug diameters to prevent incorrect connections. Each version also has distinct visual identifiers (gas: white ring on the socket and notched hexagon on the plug; liquid: black ring and smooth hexagon). These design features ensure safe, leak-free connections and prevent cross-connection between gas and liquid systems.

Quick Coupling Socket with Male UNF Cone 90° – Hansen Beverage

Q: How do the white and black identification rings on the Quick Coupling Socket with Male UNF Cone 90° – Hansen Beverage help prevent cross-connection between 2HG (gas) and 2HL (liquid) lines?

The Quick Coupling Socket with Male UNF Cone 90° – Hansen Beverage prevents cross-connection between 2HG (gas) and 2HL (liquid) lines through a combination of mechanical incompatibility and clear visual coding. Each function has a dedicated version with different plug diameters so a 2HG plug (gas) cannot physically mate with a 2HL socket (liquid) and vice versa, eliminating incorrect hookups. Visual identification reinforces this: gas sockets carry a white identification ring and gas plugs have a notched hexagon, while liquid sockets have a black identification ring and liquid plugs a smooth hexagon. Together, the mismatched diameters and contrasting white/black rings (plus differing plug hex features) make it easy to identify and prevent accidental cross-connection in beverage systems.

Additional information

Material	SS – stainless steel

The Hansen Beverage quick coupling socket with external UNF 7/16″-20 thread and a 90° cone is a reliable solution designed for professional beverage systems, ensuring secure and leak-free connections. Available in two dedicated versions—type 2HG for gases and type 2HL for liquids—these couplings are engineered with distinct plug diameters to eliminate the risk of incorrect connections. Clear visual identification makes handling effortless: gas couplings feature a white identification ring on the socket and a notched hexagon on the plug, while liquid couplings are marked with a black identification ring and a smooth hexagon. Built to withstand demanding conditions, the coupling operates at a working pressure of up to 15 bar and temperatures reaching +130°C, guaranteeing durability and consistent performance. This robust and user-friendly design makes it an excellent choice for beverage dispensing systems where safety, efficiency, and reliability are essential.
