Where it works
Bottom loading is standard on fuel depots, bulk terminals and tanker fleets. Typical users are fuel distributors loading from depots in Gauteng and KZN, mine bulk stores in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, and transport companies filling their own tankers. Fit it to the loading arm, and protect the tanker adaptor with a lockable API dust cap when idle. Related fuel equipment includes the MFD-80 mobile fuel unit. See more in our fuel station accessories range. Fluid compatibility depends on the seals, so ask us before using it with anything other than diesel or petrol products.

Questions about this product
What does a 4-inch API female coupler connect to?
It connects to a 4-inch API RP1004 bottom-loading adaptor on a road tanker. The coupler is the female half on the loading arm or hose, and the tanker carries the male adaptor. Check your adaptor is the 4-inch API type before ordering.
What fluids is it suitable for?
The seals are Viton and EPDM, and the body is hard-anodised aluminium with stainless steel parts. That suits normal fuel handling, but compatibility depends on the exact product. Tell us what you load and we will confirm before you order, especially for chemicals or biofuel blends.
How much is delivery to a depot in Gauteng?
The coupler ships at 10.0 kg, so it falls in the up to 30 kg band at R550 if it is the only item in the order. Our own trucks deliver from Polokwane to all nine provinces in 1 to 3 days. Delivery is free once your order total reaches R20,000 including VAT, so add other fittings to qualify.
