Elaflex vapor recovery nozzle adapters

We were asked to design and machine a special adapter for an Elaflex vapor recovery hose so it could be fitted for vapor recovery testing.

Vapor recovery adapters machined in brass

we machined the parts from solid brass bar, they were machined with threads on both ends and had vent holes machined around the periphery.

We also machined a knurled finish on the outside diameter so it could be gripped and assembled by hand.

The adapter fitting screwed onto the end of the hose and the test equipment then screwed onto the end of the brass adapter.

The pictures above and below show the Elaflex pump hose gun and the hose disassembled and the brass vapor recovery adapter fitted to the end of the hose.
We reverse engineered the parts by taking all our dimensions off the hose and gun to create the design and finished parts.
