Husky Conventional BSPP Nozzles Installation and Maintenance Manual

Quick guide from the manual

This manual provides essential installation, maintenance, and operation instructions for Husky Conventional BSPP Nozzles. These nozzles are designed exclusively for use at motor fuel dispensing facilities. Always adhere to local, state, and federal regulations. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury, fire, or hazardous spills.

Installation Instructions

Before installing, ensure the dispenser is turned off and line pressure is relieved.

• Do not use any thread sealant (Teflon tape, anti-seize, or other sealants).
• Tighten the nozzle firmly to approximately 15 - 20 lbf-ft (20.3 - 27.1 N-m). Do not overtighten.
• Use a wrench on the hose nut only.
• Pressurize the system and visually inspect for leaks.
• Test the nozzle for proper automatic shut-off between 5 - 10 gpm (18.9 - 37.9 Lpm).

Operation Instructions

1. Activate the dispenser.
2. Insert the spout into the fill pipe opening.
3. Lower the hose end of the nozzle so the spout spring catches the inside of the fill pipe.
4. Raise the lever to begin fueling.
5. The nozzle will shut off automatically when the tank is full.
6. Wait 15 seconds to allow remaining fuel in the spout to drain.
7. Remove the nozzle by raising the hose end and return it to the nozzle boot.

Note: The nozzle is equipped with a Flo-Stop device that shuts off the nozzle if it falls from the fill pipe or is raised above horizontal.

Maintenance and Inspection

Regular maintenance is required to ensure safe operation. Any failure during testing requires immediate equipment replacement or removal from service.

Daily

• Check for leaks or stains.
• Inspect for loose spouts.
• Check for physical damage.
• Inspect for bent levers.
• Check for broken clips or trigger springs.

Monthly

• Perform a flow test to verify automatic shut-off between 5 - 10 gpm (18.9 - 37.9 Lpm).
• Check the "remove after" date.

Annually

• Check for electrical conductivity.
• Lubricate the main valve stem.

Troubleshooting

• Nozzle keeps shutting off or won't dispense: Ensure dispenser is activated, slow down flow rate, clean spout tip, clean/replace filter, inspect Safe-T-Break, replace spout assembly, or check dispenser pressure (19 psi / 1.3 bar required).
• Nozzle won't shut off: Check flow rate (minimum 3 gpm / 11.4 Lpm required), remove nozzle and drain hose.
• Nozzle leaks: Check for loose spout, hose connection, or cracks in nozzle/hose threads.
• Low flow rate: Remove Flo-Equalizer (if equipped), verify dispenser is not in slow flow mode, check for system leaks.

Spout and Guard Replacement

The manual provides specific procedures for replacing spouts, Flo-Equalizers, hold-open clips, and various guards (Nozzle Guard, Reguard, POPD Guard). Always turn off the dispenser and relieve line pressure before performing any replacement or maintenance.
