Elaflex ZVA Slimline 2 and ZVA Slimline 2 GR nozzles

Elaflex has introduced ZVA Slimline 2 and ZVA Slimline 2 GR nozzles. The nozzles replace the standard ZVA Slimline and ZVA 200 GR vapour recovery models.

“Many improvements have evolved into the well-known ZVA Slimline types over the past decades,” said Anton Martiniussen, director and chief executive of Elaflex. “Over time, the industry has developed new requirements, influenced by environmental concerns, customer wishes, the need for improved grip and handling with reduced lever force, improved cleanliness on forecourts and even better delivery rates for ‘to the penny’ dispensing, requiring further radical developments.”

The handle is now designed for smaller hands and combined with a contoured composite lever, reducing the force by a third without compromising safety, says Elaflex. An improved flow stream has been achieved by repositioning the poppet/valve arrangements, which also improves shut off with foaming and gassing fuels.

A pressure controlled active safety sensor (DSA) option is available for new dispensers with volume or price prepayment requirements. The DSA ensures that upon non-completion of a pre-selected quantity, the automatic shut off is activated 60 seconds after the nozzle is returned to the nozzle booth. This occurs whether the lever is in the open position or not and no fuel can be dispensed until the lever is reset and activated.

The open/shut GRV vapour valve and the GRVP are now fully integrated into the nozzle and no longer extend beyond the nozzle body. This allows for a simplified measurement of the vapour recovery dry test system.

In addition to having a stainless steel cap to protect it, the spout is now a push fit fixed with a retaining pin and provides simplified and quick assembly during service and maintenance in the field, as well as extending the nozzle longevity, says Elaflex. The ZVA can also be rebuilt by recycling its parts, saving on materials and costs. A tool kit is available for repairs to avoid damage to the parts.

The ZVA Slimline 2 and ZVA Slimline 2 GR are ATEX approved, EC-type examination certificated according to EN13012, TÜV-Süd – VR approved ZVA Slimline 2 GR Stage II vapour recovery nozzles and SIRA approved.

“The new ZVA Slimline 2 generation is a package of innovative improvements and developments that enhance the fuelling experience with the motorist and environment in mind,” said Anton.
