The J0453 builds on the successes of earlier designs in EMCO Wheaton’s tank truck couplings range. Like the J0451 and J0452, this new coupling achieves a minimal pressure drop and high flow rate without compromising operator safety. It also uses EMCO Wheaton’s proven lever design and superior sealing technology to virtually eliminate spillages.
However, the J0453 features some key improvements to bring customers the very best performance available on the market. These include a new lightweight design that totals just 7.1kg (15.6 lbs) – almost 2kg (4.4lbs) less than the J0452 – an integrated pump to further reduce disconnect leaks, and a completely new latch design.
This coupling can handle a much higher working pressure up to 16 bar (232 psi), with a test pressure of 25 bar (362 psi). Prioritising efficiency and ease of operation, the J0453 also benefits from smoother coupling operation thanks to low engagement force, easier sealing and better components that can reduce maintenance downtime by up to 50%.
These changes have ultimately delivered the most technically advanced coupling built for the petro-chemical sector. Like other products in EMCO Wheaton’s range, the J0451 meets recognised international standards and industry codes of practice, including API RP1004.
