Emco Wheaton, API Bottom Loading Adapters
API bottom loading Adapters and couplers form the critical connection during bottom loading of the road tanker at the loading rack, and during gravity discharge at the service station.
The Emco Wheaton range of API bottom loading adapters are designed to incorporate maximum safety, whilst ensuring low-pressure drop, and hence high flow, providing easy maintenance and a long service life. Every Adapter in the Emco Wheaton range meets the recognised international standards and industry codes of practice.
The Emco Wheaton API Adapters have been designed with a flat base to ensure full product drainage when unloading and are the ideal choice for any organisation involved in the transportation of fuels. With their aluminium body, hard anodized indexible nose ring and flat bottom our products set the standard in design and build quality. Each model shares common spare parts minimising maintenance costs and reducing spare parts inventory.
