Overview

4 inch API bottom loading adapter for fuel tankers in the UAE

An API adapter is fitted to each compartment outlet of a petroleum road tanker. It carries the 4" API RP 1004 interface, a machined profile that the loading arm coupler grips and seals against. Most designs include an internal poppet that stays closed until the coupler is attached and its handle is operated, keeping product inside the compartment and limiting spills when the arm is disconnected.

Hamza Fasteners supplies API adapters in aluminium for fleet operators, tanker body builders and fuel depots. We also stock the camlock adapters, dust caps and gaskets often fitted alongside them on discharge outlets, plus replacement seals. Give us the outlet flange or thread on your tank valve so we can match the mounting side. Quotes are prepared from our Dubai office.

FAQ

Common questions

What does API RP 1004 cover?
API RP 1004 is the recommended practice for bottom loading and vapour recovery of road tankers. It fixes the 4" adapter profile so a coupler at one depot fits trucks from any fleet. It does not dictate the tank-side mounting, which is why that must be checked.
Is an API adapter the same as a camlock?
No. Both connect hoses quickly, but the API adapter uses a different, valved interface designed for loading arms and spill control. Camlock adapters are often fitted to the same tanker for gravity discharge, so we stock both.
Which fuels is it suitable for?
Aluminium API adapters with fuel-resistant seals are used for gasoline, diesel, kerosene and jet fuel. For biofuel blends or other products, tell us the medium so the seal compound can be checked.
Do you supply seal kits and spare parts?
Yes. Worn seals are the usual cause of weeping at the adapter, and we can supply replacements. Send a photo of the adapter and any marking so we match the right kit.
What is the price of API tanker adapter in the UAE?
The price varies with size, material and quantity, and the tank-side mounting also affects it. Share your requirement on WhatsApp or by email and we will send a written quote from Dubai stock, with project and bulk rates where the volume allows.
Can you ship API adapters outside Dubai?
Yes. We deliver across the UAE from Deira, Dubai and dispatch to KSA, the wider GCC and Africa by road, sea or air freight. Fleet orders can be split across depots on request.
