OVERVIEW

Reliable Propane Connections for Industrial Material Handling

Ensuring the safety and efficiency of your material handling fleet starts with reliable components. The 45-Degree Female Forklift Tank Connector is an essential fitting designed to bridge the gap between your forklift's fuel line and the liquid withdrawal valve on standard LPG cylinders. Manufactured from high-quality solid brass, this connector is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, resisting corrosion and mechanical wear that are common in warehouse and outdoor environments.

One of the standout features of this connector is its 45-degree angled design. In many forklift configurations, the space between the propane tank and the roll cage or engine cover is limited. Using a straight connector can force the high-pressure fuel hose into an aggressive bend, leading to premature wear, kinking, and potential flow restrictions. This angled adapter alleviates that stress, allowing the hose to route naturally and safely. This simple design improvement can significantly extend the lifespan of your fuel hoses and reduce maintenance downtime.

Safety is paramount when dealing with liquid propane. This connector features a standard 1-1/4" ACME female thread, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of forklift propane cylinders used in North America. The precision-machined threads and sealing surfaces provide a secure, leak-tight connection, minimizing the risk of fugitive gas emissions. Whether you are maintaining a single lift truck or managing a large fleet, this brass connector offers the durability and fitment required for safe, continuous operation.

Key Benefits for Fleet Managers

  • Reduced Hose Wear: The angled geometry prevents sharp bends in the fuel line.
  • Universal Fit: Compatible with standard liquid withdrawal valves on LPG tanks.
  • Durable Material: Brass construction offers excellent resistance to weather and physical impact.

FAQ

This connector features a standard 1-1/4" ACME female thread, which is the industry standard for forklift propane tank liquid withdrawal valves.

The 45-degree angle helps route the fuel hose away from the tank without kinking or straining the hose, which is especially useful in tight spaces on the forklift.

It is made of solid brass, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and safety for use with propane gas.

Most ACME connectors rely on an internal O-ring or the sealing surface of the tank valve; however, checking the specific mating surface for wear is always recommended during installation.

While the thread fits, this connector is typically used for liquid withdrawal lines on forklifts. Ensure your application matches the intended fuel phase.

It is compatible with any forklift that uses standard LPG cylinders with ACME liquid withdrawal valves, regardless of the forklift brand.

These connectors are typically designed to be hand-tightened securely. If a tool is required, ensure it is not over-torqued to prevent damage to the brass threads.
