What is a fuel nozzle?

Fuel nozzles, or dispensing nozzles, are the final component in the fuel dispensing system. They can be used to activate and control the flow and delivery of fuel and oil from one source to another. Often produced in both automatic and manual formats, fuel nozzles are commonly equipped with a variety of features, some of which are listed below;

• Colour coded nozzles labelled according to fuel type to be dispensed
• Sized nozzles – ensure compatibility with vehicles or machinery
• Breakaway valves – allow for the safe interruption of fuel flow should a vehicle drive away mid-refuel
• Pressure sensitivity – ensures flow is restricted until the system is pressurised
• Dual plane designs – allow for fuel delivery from a number of angles thanks to the inclusion of a swivel joint
