6" Aluminum Hose Tube Door

The Dixon TDF6 is manufactured for use with compatible 6" hose storage tubes commonly installed along tanker equipment. The hinged door closes the open end of the tube while allowing convenient access to the stored delivery hose when needed.

Confirm the hose tube diameter and installation arrangement before fitting the door. Proper tube sizing and alignment help the hinged assembly close correctly and keep the stored hose contained during transport.

The TDF6 uses an aluminum body to provide a durable closure for compatible hose storage tube assemblies. The material is well suited to transportation equipment where the door may be repeatedly opened and closed during normal delivery operations.

Inspect the aluminum body and mounting area before installation for deformation, cracks, impact damage, or contamination. The door should move freely and align properly with the hose tube opening before the assembly is placed into service.

The hose tube door incorporates nitrile rubber seals together with a stainless steel closure spring and stainless steel hardware. Nylon bushings are also used within the assembly to support dependable operation of the hinged closure.

Inspect the seal, spring, bushings, and hardware periodically for wear, corrosion, damage, or loss of function. Worn components should be replaced so the door continues to close and secure the storage tube as intended.

The TDF6 helps keep fuel delivery hose neatly stored inside the designated hose tube while the vehicle is traveling or the hose is not in use. Closing the tube helps reduce exposure of the hose and attached fittings to road dirt, salt, and other environmental contamination.

The door is also pad-lockable for applications where additional retention or access control is desired. Confirm that the hose is fully stored and the door closes properly before securing the vehicle for transport.
