Semi-automatic Operated
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.

Inlet connection: LPG: 1/4” NPT
Pneumatic air: 3/8” NPT.
Outlet connection: Connect to POL - type valves with or without Pressure Relief Valves. Specify when ordering.
Supply pressures: The Filling Head is designed to operate within the normal supply pressures.
Pneumatic supply: 6-10 bar. Liquid filling product: 1-15 bar
Filling time as per present valve specification.
Marking: The following information is marked on the Filling Head:
•Monthandyearofproduction(posdatedbythreemonths).
•ThecodenumberoftheFillingHead.
Packing: The Filling Heads are individually packed in cardboard boxes without instructions.
Function and The Filling Head is easy to operate. The clamping brace is placed around the neck of the cylinder valve.
Maintenance: Once the Filling Head outlet is aligned with the Cylinder valve outlet, the ball knob is pushed to allow the
compressed air to fill the pneumatic cylinder. This forces the Filling head outlet to attach the cylinder valve outlet
thereby obtaining a leaktight connection and simultaneously opening the gas seal initiating the LPG flow. After
completing the filling operation the handle on the side of the pneumatic cylinder is pushed and the air pressure is
released thereby stopping the flow of gas and the outlet disconnects from the cylinder valve. All rubber seals inside
the gas section as well as the complete pneumatic cylinder can be exchanged.
Suitable for: All different Handwheel POL type of valves. Specify valve type and outlet when ordering.
