Loading and off-loading fuel from a transport truck is easier with the bottom-loading adapters from Franklin Fueling Systems. While loading, the free-floating poppet opens under pressure, allowing the handle to remain in the closed position. This minimizes spillage caused by leaving the handle in the open position when disconnected from the bottom loader. The adapter handle is offered in aluminum or nylon. It provides two open positions of flow, allowing the delivery driver to manage the flow rate while off-loading fuel.
This lightweight adapter is engineered and tested to meet API RP 1004 specifications and is fully compatible with biofuels including E85 and biodiesel. The outer end is made of hard-coated aluminum and rotates seven times to maximize product life and prevent wear. The adapter's inner wall is fully tapered, minimizing product retention inside the valve when off-loading is complete.
Each model is compatible with all API dry-disconnect couplers and are constructed with a standard TTMA 4-inch tank truck flange and mounting lugs for FFS air interlock valves. Sight glass options are mounted on the side of the valve to maximize visibility during fuel transfer and are provided in 1- and 3.5-inch sizes.
