ABOUT HANSEN EASY FIT COMPRESSION FITTINGS
- In the late 1970s Bert Hansen developed a range of easy to use “cold fit pipe fittings” that revolutionised the way farmers joined Polyethylene pipe. Adding to the Easy Fit range of
pipe fittings, Hansen introduces the new Easy Fit Compression Fittings range. - The Easy Fit Compression fitting range has been designed specifically for joining
Medium Density Polyethylene pipe together. - Building on 60 years experience in the manufacturing of pipe fittings and valves, the sleek, precision, compact design uses only the very best materials to withstand the harshest weather conditions.
- Hansen Products knows the importance that pipe fittings play in the performance and
control of fluid delivery, flow and pressure within a pipe system. - This has seen Hansen Products build a reputation for providing high performance, easy to use, innovative, simple products that provide our customers with “Best Installed Value”. All Hansen

EASY FIT COMPRESSION FITTINGS MATERIALS
- NUTS AND BODY: High Quality Polypropylene (Virgin PP)
- GRIP RING: High Quality Acetal (Virgin POM)
- THRUST RING: High Quality Polypropylene (PP)
- O-RING: High Quality Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
- SEAL: High Quality Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
EASY FIT COMPRESSION QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION
- Reliable leak proof seals are the hallmark of any Hansen fitting and that’s no exception when it comes to the Easy Fit Compression range, the simple steps make installation a breeze.
- 1. Cut and chamfer the pipe with pipe cutters, knife or saw. Ensure a square cut of pipe ends. Clean burrs from pipe ends. Keep the pipe end clean and as free of scratches and imperfections as possible.
- 2. Undo the Nut to the last thread, do not remove Nut from the Body.
- 3. Insert the pipe into the fitting through the Nut, White Grip Ring & Thrust Ring until it meets resistance at the Seal. Give the pipe a firm push past the Seal all the way until it hits the final stop point.
- 4. Firmly hand tighten the Nut. Use a pair of Poly Grips for a further half turn past hand tight for final tightening on 40mm fittings and greater.
The hydraulic seal is created when the pipe passes the Seal. Tightening the Nut is to achieve pull out resistance of the pipe.

- QUESTION: Does this fitting carry the Hansen Warranty?
- ANSWER: Yes, all Hansen manufactured products carries Hansen Warranty.
- QUESTION: How tight should I tighten my Easy Fit MD Compression Fittings?
- ANSWER: Up to 32mm just tighten hand tight and all sizes above use a spanner to tighten another ½ to 1 turns past hand tight. Remember you already have a seal once the pipe is past the O-ring, all the nut is doing is compressing the grip ring onto the pipe to hold the pipe in place.
