API 1004D2/1005E API Couplers
The OPW Engineered Systems 1004D2 is the standard in “drip-less” bottom
loading couplers and a proven performer at major oil terminals worldwide.
The 1004D2 mates with all 4” bottom loading adaptors built in accordance
with API RP-1004 requirements to significantly reduce liquid loss at disconnect
in gasoline applications.
Benefits
- Designed to effectively handle all
fuels – high performance
Viton® seals are standard, providing excellent wear and fuel resistance.
Compatible with gasoline with up to 20% MTBE content. Suitable for use at
service temperatures as low as -10ºF. Other seals include Buna-N, Chemraz®,
and Kalrez®.
- Designed for “less mess” at your loading
rack – the new, easy, self-aligning 5-Cam design ensures
a tight connection to truck adaptor and resists side forces. The 1004D2
cannot be opened unless it is properly connected to an API adaptor nor
can it be disconnected when the poppet is open.
- Eliminates risk of nose seal “blow out” – beveled
for superior sealing, the new high retention nose seal is specifically designed
to eliminate the risk of seal “blow out” due to line over-pressurization
and thermal expansion.
- Long-life performance – extended
wear operating lever has a built-in roller bearing to provide smoother
operation and extended life.
- Smoother, easier operation – the built-in
roller bearing handle and Teflon® impregnated poppet and cylinder provide
for smoother, easier movement.
- Easy to grasp, even with gloves – large
handles provide for easy handling.
- Easy and inexpensive to maintain – seal
and conversion kits available
- Lightweight – only 8.5 lbs.
- Easy-to-change
nose seal – simply pull out over the poppet without disassembly.
- Dependable
parts – all wetted parts are stainless steel or hard-coated
anodized aluminum; internal linkage parts are hardened stainless steel.
