1004D2/1005E API Bottom Loading Coupler
(No Longer Available)

The 1004D2/1005E API Bottom Loading Coupler from OPW Engineered Systems combines ease of use with heavy-duty construction for unmatched dependability. An advanced sealing design, using one seal instead of two, provides superior sealing characteristics and makes replacement quick and simple. Its heavy-duty aluminum and stainless steel construction has been proven at terminals around the globe.

Benefits

• Designed to effectively handle all fuels – high performance Fluorocarbon 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 PTFE 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.
