Gas Inflation Systems

Thanner gas inflation system represent the latest design and technology of its field, where size, weight and reliable function are the main factors behind all development. 

Our product range includes all needed componentsa complete gas inflation system for any size of raft or construction.

Operating head & cylinder valve

The Thanner range of operating heads are among the most compact, light and easy serviceable on the market, for release of CO2, nitrogen and compressed air at cylinder pressure up to 400bar.

The manual operated release mechanism is depending on of a stored spring force, which activates a penetration knife that penetrates a diaphragm to release the content of a cylinder. Operating heads for remote release by means of mechanical force, gas pressure or electric power, are available.

Operating heads are available with one or two outlets, standard thread is 3/8″ BSP. Alternative threads are available on request.

There are operating heads for SOLAS equipment and for Leisure equipment.

Operating heads for disposable cylinders, are available.

Operating heads for hydrostatic release, are available.

Cylinder valves are available with different threads to suit most types of cylinders and they are available with permanent charge connection, pressure gauge or pressure switch for remote control of gas pressure and with safety relief to the atmosphere. Syphon tubes of different lengths, to ensure safe gas flow are available. Cylinder valves of aluminium are available for low weight applications.

Leisure Rafts System

Thanner inflation systems for leisure rafts. The cylinder assembly comprise the cylinder adapter with penetration diaphragm and siphon tube for CO2 gas and the operating head DK99.

All made from brass and available with or without nickel plating. The cylinder adapter is available with a safety burst-disc and/or manometer to inspect bottle pressure. The DK99 is available with one or two outlets to match the actual inflation system.

Further more versions with vacuum clamping facilities are available. The system is approved to ISO 15738 to handle CO2, N2 and compressed air up to 400 bar. To release the DK99 a pull of app. 100 N is required in directions 360° round and 0-90° in line.

The DK99 can be connected to the inflation valves either via high pressure hoses or to a manifold of inflation valves.

Approval: FDC-Thanner-ISO 15738-009

Solas rafts system

Systems can meet the requirements of SOLAS and MED regulations as well as the rules of FAA.

The system for SOLAS equipment are suitable for marine environment and approved as such. Lighter components are available for leisure and aviation rafts systems.

Systems are available for vacuum packing of rafts and can handle gas as CO2, Nitrogen and compressed air with pressures up to 400 bar.

For large constructions the Thanner patented internal distribution system, IDS system, is second to none in relation to design and efficiency.

Part numbers
