FEATURES

1. Balanced jig for easy suspension between filling operations.

2. Easy to connect and disconnect. Filling is initiated by opening of the pneumatic air supply.

3. Slim design makes it easy to handle and it fits easily inside any shroud.

Inlet connection: LPG: ISO 228/1-G3/8

Pneum. air: ISO 228/1-G1/4

Outlet connection: Connects to Kosan LPG valves 16, 19 and 35 mm with and without SRV.

Supply pressures: The Filling Head is designed to operate within the normalsupply pressures.

Packing: The Filling Heads are individually packed in boxes without instructions.

Function and The Filling Head is easy to operate.

Maintenance: The head outlet is attached to the valve inlet manually. Once the pneumatic pressure is applied to the head it forces

the internal components of the head to move towards the valve top thereby establishing a leaktight connection and

once this is established the further movement of the components forces the valve spindle to open and

simultaneoulsly the gas starts to flow. When the cylinder is full the filling is stopped by removing the pneumatic

pressure. The internal springs of the head allows the valve to close and moves the components of the head

bakwards to stop the flow of gas and to disconnect the head from the valve. The head is removed manually.

MATERIALS AND STANDARDS

The Filling Head is made of corrosion-resistant materials such as

stainless steel, brass, aluminium and special polymers. The rubber

materials used are developed and manufactured according to the

requirements of EN 549.
