API Couplers

Easy to use API Coupler, yet rugged and durable

API couplers are used at petroleum loading racks for bottom loading petroleum tankers. They are mounted on loading arms, with a 4″ TTMA flange connection which then attaches to the API vales on the tanker. The connection interface consists of a two part poppet and plunger design, which ensures a positive spill free connection every time you load.
