Sockets allow the transfer of the electronic signal from the terminal control monitor to the tanker and return. Sockets will vary depending upon terminal equipment and regional regulations. We offer a full line of sockets for North American and international requirements.
FloTech brand sockets are mechanically and electronically compatible with the API RP1004 Rel. 2003 Bottom Loading Specification. Optic and thermistor socket face plates are hard coated aluminum alloy to prevent J-slot wear. All hardware and contact buttons are stainless steel to prevent corrosion. FloTech brand sockets are standard color coded to permit easy identification (optic sockets are blue, thermistors are green, and float are red). Colored caps are included for optic and thermistor models.
FloTech brand sockets use a patented detachable nose ring that permits replacement without disconnecting wire connections.
