API Drop Adapter Design
The Dixon 4540 is designed for offloading petroleum cargo tanks through an API adapter to a 4" drop hose. Its configuration provides the transition needed between compatible API equipment and the drop assembly.
Dixon identifies the API drop adapter as compatible with most API adapters. Confirm the mating equipment and transfer system configuration before installation.
The 4540 uses aluminum construction for its API drop adapter body. The material provides a purpose-built configuration for petroleum cargo tank transfer equipment.
Inspect the adapter body and connection surfaces before each installation. Components showing excessive wear, deformation, or damage should be serviced or replaced before use.
The standard Dixon 4540 configuration uses a Baylast™ O-ring seal at the API connection. Dixon also offers other 4" drop adapter configurations with alternative seal materials.
Verify the required seal material against the transferred product and operating conditions. Replacement seals should match the specific adapter configuration being serviced.
The 4540 is configured as an API-to-4" drop adapter for connection to compatible drop hose equipment. Dixon specifies a maximum operating pressure of 75 PSI for its API drop adapters.
Confirm adapter size, seal style, mating API equipment, and hose configuration before ordering. Proper component selection helps maintain the intended transfer connection.
