Hansen super trapp question
Hey all, got an HST for my current jet on the bench and this jet used to be set up for a UAT. The problem i see is the UAT uses a larger size tygon because it has barbed nipple fittings and the HST uses a festo connection. Has anybody had this and how did you do it? Just use a festo step down fitting? Or did you convert the HST to a nipple style setup? Also, the HST uses a metal clunk and not a bag, does this arrangement work well? I have always used the UAT and have no prior knowledge of the HST. The tank will be setup in an almost vertical arrangement due to space. Thanks in advance!

It looks like a well made air-trap. You could use the festo male barb or female push lock 6mm to 4mm adapter. And tygon will work over the male barb of the adapter. Use safety wire. Just DO NOT use tygon into the female 6mm adapter. The tygon is too soft and will deform over time and cause a leak.

I read on some older posts that the original HST had the festos and Hansen offered to retrofit that style for nipple fittings to accompany the fellas with larger turbines because they were worried about vacuuming of the larger engines...Is it possible this is a HST but the older style?

Take a look at this thread, it may help clarified your questions [&:] if you need a UAT I have a spare one or at least the parts to build one ( I have to search in the storage unit ) you will need to get a 4 oz Nalgene bottle.

Get a composite air trap CAT and end your worries, its the best out there, better than bvm, han, jmp (Yes I have had the JMP and it can leak) where as the CAT are bullet proof.

Hi, the CAT is a product I make so will add the acronym
COMPOSITE AIR TRAP
It is designed to aid removal of air from fuel flow to the pump/turbine, it has also been fully tested and subsequently used by Boeing and NASA in experimental aircraft like the X-48 (B & C) for this specific job.
Picture attached of the range, and hope this helps.

Thanks Marc. That information is a big help. What type of air trap do Kingtech turbine users commonly use? Does Kingtech supply an air trap device with their turbines?
If I'm going off topic let me know and I'll stay off the thread.
