Operation
The spring loaded poppet can be opened by the handle for discharge, or by an API coupler for bottom loading or unloading. For safety, the handle does not move when a coupler actuates the poppet. The handle is a “pull up-to-open” design, which when used rotates an internal cam to open the poppet. The cam uses the over-centre principle to hold poppet in its open position while unloading. Dual o-ring seals on shaft prevent leaks.

Continuity
Electrical continuity guaranteed by use of non-anodised nose cone.

Mounting
Flange is 100mm TTMA standard. Mount so that when viewed from the front, the handle is on the right hand side and pointing down.
