Hydraulic coupler 353GF

for valves

• Complies with EI Specification 1584 Second Edition • Pneumatic or Hydraulic Deadman Options • Accurate Nozzle Pressure Regulation • Excellent Surge Pressure Control • Deadman and Fuel Sense Connections Conveniently Located • Bleed Valve(s) supplied, on the Pilot Block • Standard Folding Operating Lever The Model 353GF Pressure Control Coupler is a hydrant coupler used in jet aircraft refueling operations. It connects to a hydrant pit valve or hydrant pit adapter to allow pressurized fuel to flow from an underground pipeline and into the receiving aircraft. It incorporates a Deadman operated, direct acting pressure regulator that protects the receiving aircraft from excess pressure and from damage due to pressure surges. The Model 353GF Pressure Control Coupler has been designed and tested to comply with all requirements of EI 1584 “Four Inch Hydrant System Components and Arrangements”, Second Edition. The Coupler makes a very robust connection to any 4 inch API style hydrant pit valve or hydrant adapter. This connection greatly exceeds the side-pull requirements of the EI Bulletin 1584. Yet, because of the use of hardened Stainless Steel balls to make this connection, the Coupler can easily turn when connected to remove stress on the intake hose connected to the outlet of the Coupler. The Model 353GF Pressure Control Coupler incorporates a pressure regulating valve that is deadman operated. The Coupler can be configured to accept either compressed air (Option A) or pressurized fuel (Option H) as the motive deadman fluid.
