Mann Tek Couplings
View Supplier Profile

Mann Tek develops and manufactures high quality equipment, designed specially for safety and efficiency in handling and transfer of aggressive or high-risk fluid or gas.

Couplings, swivels and valves from Mann Tek are highly appreciated in businesses such as aviation, off-shore, marine, military, road transportation etc. Even well-known racing teams in Formula 1 have learnt the advantage of our spill-free and quick connecting couplings. And that is action in which milliseconds count.

Our customers appreciate that robustness and ruggedness, easy operation, quality and safety characterise our products. Industries in our focus are those with ultra-high demand for total safety in handling high-risk material, for example, petrochemical exploration, transport and refining. We supply solutions, knowledge and support that fully meet all important and necessary standards such as NATO STANAG 3756 and others.

The Swedish company Mann Teknik AB is well situated demographically in an industrial region, surrounded by several other industries also operating and supplying worldwide. From the headquarters in the centre of the town of Mariestad, Sweden, our designer aims to satisfy any need and demand for handling everything from risky chemicals to explosive jet fuel. Mann Tek has offices in several places around the globe, and our worldwide presence and delivery is expanding.

The range of Mann Tek products is not only designed for safety, but also to qualify for environmental awareness requested by humans and nature. Our new line of safety break-away couplings furthermore emphasises Mann Tek’s goal to contribute in the fight against environmental devastation. We help your company to accomplish an environmentally friendly image to your brand and a good reputation in this area.

Mann Tek Products Pay for Themselves
Products we develop and market will give you a return on investment, (ROI) no longer than a couple of months. Not only are they operated in seconds without tools, they also decrease the risk of human error substantially. With our product range for your pipes, tubes and hoses, you will notice that the need for costly insurance will decline, which further affects your ROI in a positive way. And yet, we have not mentioned the advantage of avoiding expensive spills.

Mann Tek supplies products in a wide range of high-quality and expedient materials, such as aluminium, brass, stainless steel, titanium, corrosion-resistant metal alloys etc. You can be certain to also complement Mann Tek’s products with the seals of your choice, since we provide them in materials for every purpose. Of course, we are always up to date with whatever standard or recommendation that applies to your applications. When you choose a product from Mann Tek you also get an assurance that all standards are met. You also get the ease of service and the benefit of support from our personnel Look further at our list of products and you will see that they are fit for all types of aggressive fluids, chemicals and even liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) under pressure of up to 25 Bar. They are also available in all suitable sizes for such applications.

Our quick-operated couplings are Dry Disconnect Coupling, Dry Aviation Coupling and Dry Gas Coupling. Add to that the new Safety Break-away Coupling which eliminates pull-away accidents. Mann Tek Full Flow Ballvalves can be operated directly or remotely with pneumatic. Both the one-way and two-way valves are optimised to reduce pressure drop. With Mann Tek Swivels rotational stress is eliminated in applications when pipes are moving.

Dry Disconnect Couplings
Push it on, turn it with the convenient handles – that´s all. No bolts, no tools, no drip or spill. Our users testify that it is very easy. They are therefore the obvious and preferred choice in situations when accidental spill would be both expensive and hazardous, no matter whether it is gas or liquid. These couplings are available for a variety of different applications, due to the wide range of materials, connections and sealing. Our Dry Disconnect Couplings will solve your problem for all transfers, from clean water, to toxic chemicals, to fuel.

Dry Gas Couplings are a further development of the Dry Disconnect Coupling. They are made to withstand the harshest conditions when handling liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), but yet are easy to operate. Compared to a traditional coupling, your yearly loss of spill will be reduced, with thousand of USD for each coupling. Dry Gas Couplings are of course safe, with most types of such transfers adhering to important standards (f ex EN 13760:2003(E)).

Dry Aviation Couplings are your best choice in the transfer of aviation fuel. These are super easy to operate due to a bayonet-like attachment. They are made according to the common standards to fuel in the aviation industry: STANAG 3105/ISO45/MS 24484.

Safety Break-away Couplings are your best insurance to avoid accidents when pumping to or from vehicles like tank trucks, rail cars, vessel boats etc. Such vehicles might move and put force or stress onto pipes, tubes or hoses. Or a truck driver might forget to disconnect prior to driving away the the loaded vehicle. Before anything breaks and causes a disastrous situation, our Safety Break-away Couplings will shut its valves in both connected ends and then disconnect. This occurs at a certain predetermined force. Instead of a catastrophic incident, maybe with high environmental impact, there is hardly any drip or spill at all. You cannot make a better strategic choice. It is also your guarantee against Murphy’s law and human error. For the highest safety and minimum risk there are two varieties, the industrial type and the marine type.

Full Flow Ball Valves maximise a good flow and minimise turbulence and pressure drop. Their design results in the highest flexibility, which makes it easy to accomplish any task in the transfer of fuel, such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel etc. in tank trucks or similar applications. The Full Flow Ball Valves are easily handle-operated, or with remote operated pneumatic 90-degree spindle operation. Remote operation makes it easy to implement in an event-based system, when multiple actions must occur dependent on each other. We have two different Full Flow Ball Valves types, one-way (one inlet-one outlet) and two-way (one inlettwo outlet). Swivels from Mann Tek give rotational latitude between hoses or pipes and nozzles. Moveable objects connected to each other might cause repeated force to nozzles and hoses, with the result of stress to the material. Such stress weakens the solidity and decreases the strength. A swivel creates flexibility and distributes the moving forces, with the result of preserved solidity and long-life operation of such equipment. They are available in a variety of connection types and materials, suitable to most applications of your choice.
