Description
This 2-inch flip-top fill cap is a hinged, male-threaded aluminum cap for the fill point of an above-ground storage tank, used where a tight-fill dry-break connection is not required. It threads into a tank bung or onto a fill riser and swings open on a hinge for gravity or nozzle filling. A positive stop keeps the open cover from striking the tank shell, the cap is drilled for a padlock so the fill point can be secured, and it provides integrated venting when closed. Newberry supplies this cap as the Morrison Bros. FIG 179M.
Key Features
-
Hinged operation: The cap stays attached to the fill point and swings open for filling.
-

-
Lockable: Padlock-compatible design secures the fill opening against unauthorized access.
-
Integrated venting: Provides integrated venting when the cap is closed.
-
Aluminum body: Aluminum body and cap resist corrosion in outdoor above-ground service.
-
Direct thread-in: Male NPT body threads straight into a 2 inch tank bung or fill riser.
