DREHMEISTER LPG filling adapters are made exclusively from high-quality raw materials. The high processing precision of the LPG gas connectors ensures optimum fitting accuracy, tightness and safety when refuelling with LPG.
Internationally, there are four different connection systems at LPG filling stations - ACME, DISH, bayonet and Euronozzle. The LPG gas filling adapter ensures a secure connection between the LPG filling valve on the vehicle and the nozzle at the petrol station.
LPG filling adapters with M10, M12, M14 and M16 connection threads are often used in conjunction with a mini refuelling system, an LPG filling valve that is mounted behind the vehicle's fuel filler flap. The narrow connection thread of the gas adapter allows good access to the LPG filling valve and connects it securely to the LPG refuelling gun.
ACME LPG tank connector is used in Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg
