1 GASGUARD NOZZLE RANGE SAFETY IN NUMBERS

2 GASGUARD NOZZLE RANGE SAFETY IN NUMBERS For over 25 years GasGuard nozzles have increased the amount of safety and comfort experienced on forecourts around the world whilst dispensing LPGas. Continuous development of the GasGuard range of LPGas refueling nozzles has been a key factor in maintaining a position as a global market leader in terms of safety, performance and reliability. The new GasGuard GG range demonstrates a lighter, more robust construction with many additional features, allowing the nozzle to adapt to many different markets and satisfy each individual customer requirements. THE GG1 ACME SERIES Nozzles in the GasGuard GG1 series are suitable for the filling of light duty/ Autogas vehicles as well as mobile and stationary L.P.G. tanks. There are three different nozzles in the UL Listed GG1 range, the GG1E, the GG1EH and the GG1DN, which cater for differing customer needs. These nozzles supersede the GasGuard LG1 series of nozzles. With a lightweight & well balanced construction, the nozzles are designed to give the user a more ergonomic and safer way to refuel their Autogas vehicle or storage tank. The GG1 series design has also been enhanced with significant improvements in operational performance and reduced maintenance requirements, and like all GasGuard nozzles they are fully repairable.

4 THE GG20 ACME SERIES Guided thread extension minimises cross-threading Nozzles in the GasGuard GG20 series are designed to reach into, and connect to, deep-seated filler valves, as associated with forklift truck cylinders and RV filler valves in similarly difficult locations. This is possible due to the extended connector on the outlet of the nozzle which allows customers to connect to fill points with a more difficult access point. There are three different nozzles in the UL listed GG20 range, the GG20, the GG20H and the GG20DN, which cater for differing customer needs. With a 35mm longer connector the nozzles are engineered with the same function as their shorter GG1E, GG1EH and GG1DN counterparts. The GG20 series design carries the same improvements in operational performance and reduced maintenance requirements as the GG1 series, and like all GasGuard nozzles they are fully repairable.
