Vapour Recovery Nozzles

Vapour Recovery Nozzles

Omni Series™ vapour recovery nozzles are available in both ON/OFF vapour path (for multi-nozzle dispensers) and open vapour path (for single nozzle dispensers) model options. Serviceability of the nozzle is made easy with the modular two-cartridge system which allows all internal-wear components of the nozzle to be quickly and easily removed from the nozzle for servicing. Standard features including no pressure-no flow, over-horizontal automatic shutoff, and full-tank shutoff ensure safe user operation as well as facilitate easy nozzle testing and servicing. Compatible with most European-style dispensers, hanging hardware and vapour recovery vacuum sources, Omni Series™ vapour recovery nozzles are easily interchangeable with most existing installations.

A Radical Shift in Nozzle Design

What really sets the Omni Series™ nozzle apart is a revolutionary new modular interior design that makes servicing them faster and easier than ever. Meaning your nozzles spend less time being serviced and more time in service.

  • As the single-most-handled piece of petrol station equipment, the nozzle is constantly under attack from the harsh wear and tear that users put on them, making frequent repair and service an unfortunate reality.
  • The new modular design features a pre-assembled cartridge containing all inner components.
  • Servicing a nozzle is as simple as unloading a single cartridge and replacing it with a new one.

Compliance Testing Has Never Been This Easy

A standard No Pressure - No Flow feature prevents the nozzle from dispensing fuel if the nozzle doesn’t detect pressure from the dispenser. This translates to quick and clean testing without the use of additional tools or the dispensing of fuel.

  • To perform a compliance test, the service provider simply pulls the nozzle lever, authorizes the dispenser, and initiates testing.
  • No fuel will be dispensed and no specialized keys, tools or magnets are needed to prevent fuel from flowing.
  • Quicker testing times mean more time your dispenser positions are open for business.

Safety is Not Just an Option, It's a Must Have

At Franklin, we believe that you shouldn’t have to pay extra for safety. It should be a given. That’s why every Omni Series™ nozzle comes with several standard key safety features.

  • The No Pressure - No Flow feature provides a safe and reliable means of preventing accidental fuel spills, keeping your customers safe and your forecourt clean.
  • The Over-Horizontal Automatic Shutoff feature safeguards against any unintentional fuel spillage if the nozzle is tilted past horizontal.
  • Additional safety measures include a Full Tank Shutoff Port that automatically stops the flow of fuel once a vehicle’s tank is full as well as a drip-less spout construction.

Customize Each Nozzle to Meet Your Needs

Omni Series™ nozzles are available with a variety of customizable functional features that provide full compatibility with a wide assortment of popular dispenser models. This includes both an Open Vapour Path model and an ON/OFF Vapour Path model.

  • Ideal for multiple-nozzle dispensers, the ON/OFF Vapour Path model will automatically sense which nozzle is in use and close the vapour return path in the idle nozzles, preventing clean air from being pulled into the system.
  • The Open Path model is meant for single-nozzle dispensers.
  • With seven different hand guard and hand guard magnet options to choose from, Omni Series™ nozzles are compatible with most major dispenser models.

At Home in Any Petrol Station

To marketers and oil companies, a petrol station’s brand is as important as the quality of the fuel flowing through it. It’s how customers identify their preferred petrol station. Station owners need to carry their branding right through to the most-handled element of the station – the nozzle.

  • Omni Series™ nozzles can be customized to match station branding with 11 different scuff guard color options.
  • For the ultimate in customization choose from Franklin’s growing library of standard nozzle badge options.
  • Franklin can also help you create a completely custom badge.

A Complete Hanging Hardware Solution

With Omni Series™, you get a quality, complete hanging hardware solution all manufactured by a single company. Hanging hardware components in addition to the Omni Series™ nozzle include hoses as well as break away valves and sight glasses.

  • Each Omni Series™ break away valve and sight glass provides durable and reliable protection against potential forecourt damage, fuel spill contamination, and loss of revenue or injury.
  • Drive-offs occur in hundreds of forecourts around the world every day. Omni Series™ break away valves ensure protection from hazardous fuel spills and costly damage caused when a vehicle drives away with a nozzle still in a vehicle’s fill pipe.
  • Omni Series™ 21 mm vapour recovery hose is available in a wide assortment of custom length options to meet the needs of any application.
