F414 F429 API Adaptors

The F414 adaptor is designed in accordance with API RP1004 to mate couplers F240, F250 and F228 if used for bottom loading. It is also available with six position product selection. When used as a hydrant valve adaptor the unit requires an optional relief valve with a poppet that then meets API 1584. The F414 has a 150# ASA flange and can be provided in aluminum or ductileiron. When the F414 is used as a hydrant adapter it is recommended that the unit be all ductileiron and include a relief valve. The F429 scaled down API style adaptor is available for bottom loading applications where 4-inch hardware is not needed and is physically too large. Bulk plants and wholesale delivery tank wagons are typical applications where this hardware can be utilized. In addition, the F429 adaptor and its mating coupler, the F214, can easily be used in a truck “swing hose” delivery system to good advantage
