API BOTTOM- LOADING
ADAPTERS
Loading and off-loading fuel from a transport truck is easier
than ever with the bottom loading adapters from Franklin
Electric. 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 and provides
two open positions of flow, allowing the delivery driver to
manage the flow rate while off-loading fuel from the truck.
HIGHLIGHTS
ORDERING INFORMATION
The lightweight, heavy-duty adapter is engineered and tested
to meet API RP 1004 specifications. The outer end is made of
hard coated aluminum and rotates seven times to maximize
the product’s life and prevent wear that can be caused by
terminal off-loading couplings. The inner wall of the adapter is
fully tapered, minimizing product retention inside of 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" tank truck flange and mounting lugs for air
interlock valves. Sight glass options are mounted on the side
of the valve to maximize visibility during fuel transfer and are
available in 3.5" sizes. Fuel-loading and off-loading
management has never been easier, safer or more efficient.
