E+G: Oil Drain Valves Plus
Accessories
Elesa+Ganter enlarges its ‘Hydraulics“ production line:
Special valves for clean oil change and elements for safe
the ventilation and breathing of containers now round off
the product range.
Changing oil is not exactly anybody‘s favourite work. Help
comes in the shape of Elesa+Ganter‘s GN 880 oil drain valve:
it speeds up the used oil draining and makes the job neater
and cleaner.
The small standard elements available in different sizes replace
the conventional drain plugs in the oil sumps of vehicles or
machines. The matching connector piece GN 880.1 ensures
the controlled draining of the used medium. Bolted to the oil
drain valve with a union nut, it operates its valve plate and
allows the oil to flow straight into the collecting pan without
polluting the environment. The connector piece is available
as a straight, 45 degree or 90 degree variant, suitable for
virtually any installation situation.
the container. The integrated stainless steel wire mesh of
filter category G2-G3 prevents dirt particles from penetrating
the tank from the outside and oil particles from escaping
from the container. GN 882 is available in the sizes M12 to
M30 and in four inch-based sizes.

Temperature resistant up to 160 °C and pressure resistant up
to 100 bar, the GN 880 oil drain valve is a true all-rounder.
The valve body is made of zinc-plated passivated steel or
brass, while the seal tightness is guaranteed by an O ring at
the valve plate and a metal sealing ring at the point the unit
is screwed in. Designed for long service life, tests involving
50,000 operating actions have shown no signs of malfunction
or wear and tear.
Matching this series, Elesa+Ganter‘s product range now also
offers ventilation and breathing valves, for instance the GN
881 breather valve which automatically opens inside the tank
at a pressure above 200 mbar and so avoids problematic
excess pressure from building up. With its stainless steel
pressure spring and the brass sealing disk with silicon-rubber
coating, the GN 881 has been designed for long service life.
The same function is provided by the less complex GN 883
breather valve with its pressure spring and ball combination,
but with no less reliability.
The GN 882 ventilation and breather valve operates in both
directions, allowing a defined volume of air into and out of
