For rail tankers with different hose connections or damaged / dirty thread the quick clamp coupling KWK has proved suitable for decades. Therefore it is standard of oil alarm vehicles (DIN 405) or rail car tankers (DIN 6602). Many forwarders of tank trucks use the KWK instead of various adapters on international routes.
