GASGUARD NOZZLE RANGE SAFETY IN NUMBERS
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.

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.

THE GG30 BAYONET SERIES The GG30 Series GasGuard nozzle is suitable for the filling of light duty/autogas vehicles as well as mobile and stationary L.P.G. tanks which are fitted with the Bayonet fill adapter (conforming to EN12806 2003). The Bayonet fill adaptor is mostly used in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands; it is also seen in industrial applications in South America. The GG30 Series GasGuard nozzle adds improved features to its predecessor, the LG30 Series nozzle. The GG30 has significant improvements over the LG30 nozzle, including improved ergonomics, lighter weight, improved flow rates, lighter Lever pressure, along with a significantly reduced release volume, known as product loss to atmosphere on disconnection.

The following modifications can now be seen on the GG30 nozzle Nose assembly (Standard for GG30 nozzle)» Front of Tail piece; Extends forward to take up Dead Space Volume in the bayonet fill point adaptor. Reduces the released gas upon valve closure by 23%. Improved gas release method.» New lip seal; Reduces the push on and pull off force experienced by the customer when connecting and disconnecting the nozzle. Nozzle is easier to use. Maintains a safe and secure seal. Splashguard Bayonet Connector Insert (Standard for GG30)» New 4-slot design makes it easier for customers to connect the nozzle to the vehicle fill point.» Rotation is kept to a minimum to reduce confusion. Only 22-44 degrees of rotation is needed to connect and disconnect nozzle safely.» Reduces confusion/ chance of unscrewing fill point adaptors. Red anodized Lever Latch (Standard for GG30)» To reduce the chance of misusing the nozzle. GG30 nozzles now have a red anodized lever latch and instruction stickers to assist first time users of correct operation. 4-slot quick connector Stickers (Standard for GG30)» Stickers have been placed on the splashguard (if fitted), connector nut and lever to assist users in operating the nozzle. Customers are given every opportunity to correctly use the nozzle. Magnet in Nozzle Body (Optional)» All GasGuard nozzles now come with an optional Magnet Assembly for dispensers using reed switches for pump activation and deactivation. Splashguard (Optional)» A splashguard has been introduced (required by some customers in the UK market). Protects the customer s hands against any gas release after nozzle valve has shut down. Highlighted latch Nozzle Boot (Holster)» We now have a nozzle boot which houses all Autogas GasGuard nozzles (including splashguards) part no. NB-GG and a variation which houses all ZVG1 & 2 nozzles, part no. NB-ZVG. New nozzle boot GASGUARD NOZZLE RANGE 7
THE GG10 HIGH FLOW ACME SERIES The GasGuard GG10 Series nozzle has been designed to fit to hose reels for dispensing bulk LPGas to small / medium tank and industrial storage facilities. The nozzle is robust and exhibits a high level of operator safety. With the GG10 it is impossible to open the valve and release gas into the atmosphere if the nozzle is not connected to a certified 1 ¾ ACME fill point. The technology within the GG10 removes the possibility of serious injury or the misuse of LPG during the transport and handling phases of refueling. STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS: Connection: 1¾ ACME x 6 TPI form Swivel Inlet thread: 25mm (1 ) or 32mm (1 ¼ ) fnpt Weight incl. swivel: 3.1kg (6.6lbs)» Light weight and robust design» Stainless Steel used throughout, increasing the lifetime of the nozzle» Integrated 360 rotating swivel as standard» Anodised aluminium parts for protection against salt and dirt contamination Working pressure: Temperature range: Approval: 2450 KPa (350 psi) -40 to +110 deg.

The following new features are now available in the GG10 nozzle Strainer» Prohibits foreign matter from passing through the valving system of the nozzle and into the vehicle or tank. Mesh size: 600um (30Mesh) with mesh thickness of 265um. Dust Cap (optional)» Protects the nozzle and internal components from the ingress of dirt. Especially useful for open systems where nozzle sits in a holster and is exposed to airborne dirt and grime from the road. 45 dual-axis Swivel» Allows the driver more flexibility when connecting the nozzle with hard to reach fill points, such as underground tanks or overhead fill points. The dual plane swivel reduces the moment load on the nozzle/fill point. The hose also follows path of least resistance and minimizes the strain and kinking force on the hose after the hose tail. 316 Stainless Steel parts» All steel components have been manufactured from 316 stainless steel for a more enduring performance and resistance against the elements. The nozzle is now more robust and less prone to physical damage obtained during normal operation. GASGUARD NOZZLE RANGE 9
THE GG11 SAFETY BACK-CHECK VALVE The GasGuard GG11 Safety Back-Check Valve can be used in conjunction with the GG10 Nozzle to contain leaks at a storage tank fill point, allowing the driver to move to next fill point without delay. The safety feature of the GG10 is maintained even with GG11 attached and the nozzle valve will remain closed even when the lever is actuated in an uncoupled position. The GG11 series has a unique feature allowing the nozzle to safely seal to the fill point even when the operator has not completely tightened the nozzle and GG11 Safety Back-Check Valve to the fill point i.e. the GG10 and GG11 system will seal if they are backed off up to ¾ of a turn! STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS: Connection: 1¾ ACME x 6 TPI form Weight incl. swivel: 0.45kg (1.0lbs) Working pressure: 2450 KPa (350 psi) Temperature range: -40 to +110 deg.

THE GG11r SAFETY BACK-CHECK VALVE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS: Connection: Weight incl. swivel: Working pressure: Temperature range: Approval: Length: 1¾ ACME x 6 TPI form 0.45kg (1.0lbs) 2450 KPa (350 psi) -40 to +110 deg. C UL Listed 65mm The GasGuard GG11R Safety Back-Check Valve can be used in conjunction with the GG10 Nozzle to contain leaks at a storage tank fill point. The purpose of the GG11R is the same as the GG11, however the GG11R uses an external screw to discharge the release volume in the GG10 nozzle and GG11R Safety Back-Check Valve. This is done by the operator with a gloved hand after each fill. The safety feature of the GG10 is maintained even with GG11R attached. The nozzle valve will remain closed even when the lever is actuated in an uncoupled position. GG11R Safety Back-Check Valve For containment of leaking fill points during and after each delivery.
