Connectors for Lift Truck Propane Tanks


Valves	Valve Connectors

Hose Connectors

Use a valve, valve connector, and hose connector (each sold separately) to create a complete connection between a propane tank and a lift truck's fuel hose.

Valves—Valves permit withdrawal of liquid or vapor. They have an inlet for the propane tank and an outlet for the valve connector.

Valve Connectors—Valve connectors have one end that attaches to the valve and one end that attaches to the hose connector.

Hose Connectors—Hose connectors create a quick disconnect. One end attaches to the valve connector and the other to the lift-truck fuel hose.

Tear-Tab Caps for Propane Tanks

Guard threads against dents and keep dirt out of propane tank valves during storage and transit. These caps are sized specifically to fit valve threads, so they stay securely in place until you tear the tab to remove.

Polyethylene—These tough caps are hard and wear resistant to hold up against scrapes and gouges.

Propane Tank Valves

Valves work with standard propane tanks (like those on a gas grill). Do not use them with lift-truck propane tanks.

POL/Acme (Type 1)—POL/Acme (Type 1) valves have an internal POL connection, an external Acme connection that can be hand tightened, and an overfill prevention device.

Thermally Insulating Wraparound Heaters for Propane Tanks


	5-15

Keep gas flowing even when the temperature drops—also known as heat blankets, these heaters wrap around propane tanks to safely warm liquefied gas so it can vaporize. These heaters are sized to fit industry-standard propane tanks. Quickly install and remove them using the buckles or latches. A GFCI is built into the power cord to prevent electrical shocks.

Nonadjustable Thermostat—Because you can’t adjust the thermostat, there’s no risk of accidentally changing the set temperature.

90° F Maximum Heat Output—Their built-in thermostat heats up to 90° F, then automatically adjusts the power output to keep your tank consistently warm.

Vinyl Plastic—Made of heavy duty vinyl plastic, these heaters stand up to scuffs, water, and UV rays, so they last even outdoors. The vinyl plastic is NFPA rated for flame retardance; however, you shouldn’t use these heaters near combustible gases or dust.

Foam—They’re insulated with foam, so they retain heat even in chilly environments.
