API Parking Adaptor and Stand
API Parking Adaptors and stand for API couplers ensure bottom loading arms are correctly stowed and secured. Some can also be used to collect drips and pipe them away to a drain system. The bottom loading coupler is coupled and an integral proximity sensor (supplied separately) is actuated to enable system interlocks. All adaptors have stops to ensure coupler can not be opened whilst parked. The parking adaptor stand includes the parking adaptor.
Features & Benefits
- Built-in stops ensure coupler cannot be opened when parked
- Can be used to collect drips and pipe them to a drain system
- Can use a proximity switch to enable system interlocks
