Attachment 2 - Salient Characteristics.pdf

This document is a salient characteristics specification sheet for a federal military procurement of severe duty fueling nozzles and sexless couplings.

The procurement includes two line items: (1) Cla-Val Model 341GF Nozzle Assembly (Part Number: 341GF-R*D3SSBVMT60G3UV) with a 55 psi capability requirement, and (2) Cla-Val Model 380GF Sexless Hose Coupling (Part Number: 380GF-3-V25F). The 341GF nozzle assembly features a severe duty rating designed specifically for military single-point refueling operations, an integrated hose end pressure control valve (HEPCV) configurable to 35, 45, or 55 psi to prevent pressure surges, a short-profile D3S variable swivel joint to minimize hose twisting and operator stress, an integrated 358GF strainer ball valve with removable mesh screen for fuel inspection, a visual site glass for contamination detection, and a 60-mesh stainless steel filter screen for foreign object debris capture. The nozzle assembly includes a 3-inch valved sexless inlet coupling for dry-break connection compatibility. The 380GF sexless hose coupling features a 3-inch genderless mating connection design that eliminates orientation mismatches, a self-sealing double-valve mechanism preventing fuel spillage and dry-breaks under pressure, and a 2.5-inch Female National Pipe Thread (FNPT) connection interface for compatibility with standard USAF 2.5" refueling hoses. Both products are engineered for high-impact, all-weather tactical military environments.
