What it does |
Why it's important |
| Neutral Position |
When PTO is engaged - Zero flow, Zero pressure |
Prevents over-pressurization and failure of Kamlocks & hoses in case of a closed valve or other problem |
| Relief Valve Protection in both Directions of flow |
Allows product to ciruclate internally if critical pressure is encoutnered |
Prevents over-pressurization and failure of Kamlocks & hoses in case of a closed valve or other problem |
| Variable Flow Control |
System can easily operate at any flow rate between Zero GPM and the system's maximum GPM |
Allows driver to verify connections before moving to maxiumum flow rate. Prevents over-pressurization and enables loading into tanks or vessels with small diameter piping |
| Instantly Reversible Flow |
Product flow can be easily and quickly reversed |
Allows product to be pumped back on to truck in the event of a problem. Enables driver to clear all product from transport hoses |
| Tactile Feedback |
Driver can “feel” problems such as closed valves through the handle of the pump system |
Enables driver to move to Neutral Position and correct the problem before there is a spill or accident |
| Zero RetainTM |
Allows the draining of residual product (retain) from all piping, hoses & pump cavity |
Eliminates cross-contamination of sensitive products, such as synthetic oils, ULSD, biodiesel and AvGas. Allows driver to 'prove' that the system is empty |
| Driver-accessible Strainer |
Strainer is accessible from the curbside of the vehicle and can be removed for cleaning without any tools |
Strainers keep rocks, nuts & bolts, spill pads and other debris from damaging the pump. Clogged strainers reduce pump efficiency and cause pump cavitation |
| Interchangeable Parts |
Pump system components and optional fittings & hardware are standarized and manufactured in a controlled environment making them totally interchangeable |
Interchangeable parts make installation and repairs less expensive. If a component gets damaged, simply replace it. A wide range of configurations are possible without custom fabrication of parts |
| Install with No Welding or Drilling |
System can be installed on the vehicle without drilling holes in the truck frame or welding custom fabricated piping and components |
Pump installation and down-time are dramatically reduced. Risk of weakening frame rails is eliminated. Installer alternatives are greatly expanded |
