Technical Specifications

Product Advantages

Integrated Vapor Recovery Function

The AC-VP series is designed for compatible fuel dispensing systems that require vapor recovery. It combines fuel delivery and vapor recovery functions in one nozzle assembly to support vapor management during gasoline refueling.

Automatic Fuel Shut-Off

The automatic shut-off mechanism helps prevent continued fuel delivery when the appropriate tank filling condition is detected. This supports controlled dispensing during normal operation.

Three Model Configurations

The AC-VP-60 and AC-VP-70 have listed maximum flow rates of 40 L/min, while the AC-VP-80 supports up to 45 L/min. The different models allow distributors and equipment integrators to select a nozzle configuration that matches their dispensing system.

Practical Materials and Construction

The aluminum alloy body and guard help keep the nozzle manageable in weight. Viton seals and a nickel-coated brass spout are specified for the series, supporting appropriate material selection for compatible gasoline applications.

Designed for Fuel Dispenser Integration

The series is intended for compatible electronic fuel dispensers equipped with vapor recovery systems. Its inlet thread and system interface should be matched to the dispenser configuration before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the AC-VP vapor recovery fuel nozzle used for?

The AC-VP series is designed for gasoline dispensing systems equipped with compatible vapor recovery equipment. It supports fuel delivery while helping manage fuel vapor at the dispensing point.

2. What is the difference between AC-VP-60, AC-VP-70, and AC-VP-80?

The main listed differences are the maximum flow rate and weight. AC-VP-60 and AC-VP-70 support up to 40 L/min and weigh 1.6 kg each, while AC-VP-80 supports up to 45 L/min and weighs 1.2 kg.

3. Can the AC-VP series be installed on any fuel dispenser?

No. The nozzle must be compatible with the dispenser’s vapor recovery arrangement, inlet connection, pressure requirements, and fuel system configuration. Confirm the interface and system compatibility before ordering.

4. Which materials are used in the AC-VP series?

The catalog specifies an aluminum alloy body and guard, Viton seals, a nickel-coated brass spout, an electrophoretic-coated lever, and soft PVC covers.

5. Which fuels are suitable for the AC-VP series?

The catalog identifies gasoline as the intended application. Compatibility with a particular gasoline formulation and the complete vapor recovery system should be confirmed before use. The nozzle should not be assumed suitable for diesel, water, alcohol, solvents, or other fluids without manufacturer confirmation.
