Parker-Meggitt Ground Fueling Equipment

Aviation Ground Fuelling Equipment

Couplings
Meggitt couplings are designed for connecting and disconnecting hoses and pipelines under pressure – quickly and without spillage and are available in a wide range of metals: aluminium alloy for ease of handling in the offshore oil industry; gunmetal for the petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical industries where reliability and safety are of prime concern; and stainless steel for high-pressure applications.

Our aviation tank unit is the solution for aviation-standard ground applications, including low pressure versions for refueller trucks.

With its unique internal safety interlock integral to the poppet, our robust but lightweight hose end pressure controller is easy to use and maintain and is suitable for all aircraft. The intake coupler complies with all API standard specifications and is designed for long life, low weight, low pressure drop and adjustable smooth opening and closing.

The dry break couplings are compatible with the rail industry standard hose end couplings for spill-free filling in line with environmental regulation.

Control Valves

Meggitt control valves help control fuel within the storage and measurement systems of the global petrochemical industry.

All our hydrant pit valves comply with API safety requirements, with lanyard, air or dual pilot operation, low overshoot volume and pressure drop and a pressure-equalising valve for ease of coupling.

Aluminium or stainless steel pilot control valves are widely used in aviation bulk fuel and other storage installations for safety shut-off on filter water separators controlled by a water level sensing valve, pressure sensing pilot or emergency solenoid shutdown system.  Their reliability is proven in shipside and other hazardous applications.

The Jet ABLE (automatic bottom loading equipment) valves provide low capital and maintenance costs, no product free fall, smooth valve closure to preset level and require minimum vehicle loading space.

Developed with an international oil company, the environmental pit box and pit valve prevents pit fuel spillage escaping and contaminating surrounding areas. The highly sensitive, multi-application density sensitive valve is used to detect the differences in density of fuel grades, preventing a potentially fatal mix-up between turbine and gasoline tanks. This product has also proved effective as a water drain valve to detect the differences between oil and water.
