FAQ

1. What makes the AC-290 suitable for high-flow fuel dispensing systems?

The AC-290 is specified for a flow rate of 260 L/min and features a 1.5-inch inlet and spout. It is suitable for systems designed around these specifications, provided the pump, hose, piping, and receiving equipment can support the intended operating conditions.

2. How does the replaceable swivel connection help with equipment integration?

A replaceable swivel connection can provide flexibility when adapting the nozzle to different connection requirements or installation arrangements. The appropriate configuration depends on the available connection options and the thread standard required by the fuel dispensing system.

3. What is the benefit of replaceable components for commercial fuel equipment operators?

Replaceable components can simplify maintenance when an individual part becomes worn or damaged. Depending on the component and service requirements, this may help reduce downtime and avoid replacing the entire nozzle unnecessarily.

4. How should buyers evaluate the AC-290 for use with different fuels?

The catalog lists diesel, HVO, XTL, gasoline, and kerosene as compatible fluids. Buyers should also consider the seal materials, operating pressure, fuel characteristics, and installation requirements to confirm suitability for their particular application.

5. How does the AC-290 fit into a complete fuel dispensing solution?

The AC-290 can serve as the manual dispensing component of a larger system that includes a pump, hose, and related fuel transfer equipment. For reliable integration, the connection sizes, flow requirements, pressure ratings, and fuel compatibility should be considered together.
