Vapour Gates

The bar provides drive away protection by ensuring drivers raise/drop the bar prior to connecting/disconnecting hoses.

An integral pneumatic interlock valve which provides a signal that can be used to apply the vehicles brakes and can also open the vapour recovery vents when the gate is raised.

Liquip can also supply Vapour gate kits to allow for No Air In Motion (NAIM) systems. Please contact Liquip for further information.

Features & Benefits
  • The interlock bar is positioned over the bottom loading API adaptors, overfill system connection and vapour recovery adaptor.
  • The bar must be lifted for hose connections to be made.
