Dixon 5000-24 100 mm (4") API Dust Cap with Cam Arm - Aluminium, Baylast Seal

This Dixon 5000-24 is a 100 mm (4 in) API dust cap in aluminium, with an O-ring seal and cam arms. Dixon's Bayco catalogue lists it with a Baylast O-ring seal and brass cam arms, and notes that an FKM seal is available (manufacturer-stated).

The cap locks onto the API valve or adaptor nose with its cam arms and is tethered with a chain and S hook. Dixon lists replacement cam arms, pins, O-rings and chain as spares, so the cap can be maintained rather than replaced (manufacturer-stated).

Where this product is used

• Closing off the 100 mm (4 in) API valve or drop adaptor on a road tanker when it is not in use (manufacturer-stated).
• Keeping dirt out of the valve nose between transfers, with the cap tethered on its chain so it is not lost.

Features

• Aluminium cap for 100 mm (4 in) API connections (manufacturer-stated)
• O-ring seal in Baylast; FKM seal available (manufacturer-stated)
• Brass cam arms and pins (manufacturer-stated)
• Comes with an 18 in chain and S hook per the Dixon bill of materials (manufacturer-stated)
• Spares listed: cam arm kit 4500RK and O-rings 4500-5 and 4500-7 (manufacturer-stated)

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Dixon lists a Baylast O-ring as standard and an FKM O-ring as the alternative (spare 4500-7), so check the seal material against the product you handle. If the cap must be locked on, Dixon lists a lockable version, 5000-24L. The 5000-25 and 5205 caps in the range have flat seals, so check which seal style suits your valve before ordering.
