LPG Nozzle for Gas Dispensers
The ACFD40 LPG nozzle is designed for refuelling vehicles with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG — propane, butane, propane-butane blends) at automotive LPG refuelling stations. It connects via a high-pressure gas hose to the LPG dispenser and to the ACME fitting on the vehicle tank. Italian ACME is the most widespread coupling standard in Ukraine and Europe.
Function
- Vehicle connection. Latches onto the ACME fitting of a propane-butane vehicle tank (Italian style — the main EU standard). Latching automatically opens the gas supply valve.
- Metered dispensing. Pressing the lever opens the main valve, gas flows through the dispenser meter into the vehicle tank. Releasing the lever immediately stops the flow.
- Safe disconnect. When detaching from the fitting, the built-in check valve closes instantly — atmospheric gas release is just 4.3 cc. This is many times less than older nozzles (30-50 cc per fill — environmentally harmful and a fire hazard).
⚡ Field-tested selection (operator feedback)
- Internals are aluminum alloy. Cheap nozzles use plastic for the internal valve and stem — they crack within 6-12 months from temperature cycling and start leaking. This unit uses aluminum alloy only.
- External parts are brass and stainless steel. The nozzle lives outdoors. Carbon steel parts rust and the lever seizes. Stainless + brass — corrosion-free in any weather.
- Italian ACME compatibility. Most LPG-converted vehicles in Ukraine use this standard. Picking a different coupling (Dutch / Spanish) loses 70 % of station traffic.
- −40 °C operating range. Ukrainian winters routinely hit −25 to −30 °C. Cheap nozzles stiffen, seals lose elasticity, fills take 5 minutes. This unit operates down to −40 °C.
Design
- Aluminum body — lightweight, spark-safe (critical for LPG handling)
- Internal components: aluminum alloy — LPG-resistant, temperature-cycle proof
- External components: brass / stainless steel — corrosion-free outdoor service
- Coupling: Italian ACME (UNI/EN propane-butane standard)
- Ergonomic two-position lever for continuous-fill latching
Applications
- LPG dispensers at automotive LPG refuelling stations
- Stationary and mobile LPG refuelling installations
- Vehicle refuelling stations at oil/gas terminals and depots
- Replacement of worn nozzles on existing LPG stations (standard hose quick-coupling)
Warranty and Support
12-month warranty. NPF Gerkon Ltd provides selection consultation (ACME type, system pressure, hose type), spare parts supply (seals, latches, lever), and operator training.
SHIPPING INFORMATION FOR UKRAINE
Our company is committed to fast shipping and delivery throughout Ukraine. We work with carriers that offer the best balance of price and quality, including:
NOVA POSHTA
1-3 days. Delivery speed depends on your location. After placing your order and payment, we ship the same day or the next.
SAT
Delivery time 3-5 days. Speed depends on the distance between sender and recipient. This is the most economical option compared to Nova Poshta.
DELIVERY
Shipping takes 4-7 days. This is the slowest method, but its advantage is the low cost.
FREIGHT POOLING
Shipping is done via shared transport through a dispatcher. Finding a vehicle takes 1-2 days; speed depends on the destination (major cities are faster, remote villages slower). This method is cheaper than the carriers listed above.
We work throughout Ukraine, and on request can arrange delivery via another courier service not on our list.

PAYMENT METHODS
After placing an order for a selected product in our store, we verify stock availability and confirm with you. Payment can then be made using one of the following methods:
- Bank transfer to the company account (VAT included).
- Cash on delivery (payment upon receipt).
Before paying via bank transfer, please contact us to confirm product availability.
Cash on delivery is processed at the carrier's warehouse. The service fee is 2% of the total + 15 UAH for payment processing. For an order of 1000 UAH you will pay 35 UAH for this service plus the shipping cost.
The second method is more reliable as you can inspect the goods on the spot, but it is also more expensive, so before paying you may want to consider which method suits you best.
If payment is received by 12:00, we ship the same day; if payment arrives later, shipping is processed the next day.
For any questions about payment, please contact us — if you haven't found an answer to your question, we will provide more detailed information.
