Vapour Gates

Liquip offers a vapour gate/interlock bar that is installed over the bottom loading adaptors, overfill system connection and vapour recovery adaptor in order to provide drive away protection.

The bar provides drive away protection by ensuring drivers raise/drop the bar prior to connecting/disconnecting hoses.

An integral air interlock valve applies the vehicles brakes and can also open the vapour recovery vents.

  • The interlock bar is positioned over the bottom loading API adaptors, overfill system connection and vapour recovery adaptor.
  • The bar must be lifted for hose connections to be made.
  • The pivot incorporates a cam that actuates a pneumatic valve (CV300).
    An integral air interlock valve applies the vehicle brakes and can be set up to also open the vapour recovery vents.
  • Supplied in component form so the vehicle manufacturer can easily adapt to suit the number of compartments.
  • Brackets are available in different length configurations to suit both upward and downward operating API adaptors.

Operation
The pivot incorporates a cam that actuates a pneumatic valve (P/N - CV300) . This signal is used to apply the vehicle brakes that prevent the vehicle moving when hoses are connected.

The signal is also used for other purposes such as opening vents and preventing access to the overfill protection plug.

Supply
Supplied as a kit without the aluminium tube. Tube is supplied and welded on site by purchaser to custom fit each tanker.

Air valve CV300 must also be ordered separately.
