Connectors for Lift Truck Propane Tanks


Valve	Valve Connector
Valve	Hose Connector

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.

Valve permits withdrawal of liquid or vapor. It has an inlet for the propane tank and an outlet for the valve connector.

Valve connector has one end that attaches to the valve and one end that attaches to the hose connector.

Hose connector creates a quick disconnect. One end attaches to the valve connector and the other to the lift-truck fuel hose.
