The Type N480 and hose end valves are intended as quick-acting primary shutoff valves for the end of the transfer hose on bobtail delivery trucks. Standard valves can be used on propane, butane, and Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service at ambient temperature. For other LP-Gases and compressed gases or other temperature conditions consult the factory. For increased safety the Type N480 is designed to stay closed unless connected even with the operating lever in the open position. This prevents accidental opening during hose reel-up or a other times. The fluted coupler permits quick attachment to the filler valve and the operating lever is easy to reach for opening or closing. Note: Other brands of filler hose adapters should not be used with the Type N480 because they could allow accidental opening of the valve while it is being handled.
