Common specifications

Key specifications

Both part numbers have a 4 in API inlet. The size option (3 in or 4 in) is the outlet size.

Selecting the right option

The size option is the outlet: 4530 gives a 3 in (80 mm) Camlock outlet and 4540 gives a 4 in (100 mm) outlet, and both have the 4 in API inlet. Match the outlet to the Camlock fitting on your unloading hose. These versions have no sight glass. Dixon lists sight glass, FKM-sealed, flat-gasket and straight-drop versions under other part numbers (for example 4540SGV, 4540V and 4540ST), so check the seal and fuel compatibility before ordering.
