Description
The Falcon aviation nozzle is a manual fuel nozzle designed for over-the-wing fueling of business and private aircraft. Key features include optional quick-disconnect spouts for easy filter access, a 100-mesh stainless steel filter, and a choice between duck bill or round spouts.
For standard over-the-wing fueling
- Hewitt Falcon Manual Nozzle (with round spout):
- Pros: A standard, reliable manual nozzle for aviation gas (red) or jet fuel (black). According to National Petroleum Equipment, this is a cost-effective option based on a proven Husky Corporation design.
- Cons: Spout removal requires loosening a nut, which is less convenient than the quick-disconnect model.
For easier maintenance or helicopter fueling
- Hewitt Falcon Quick-Disconnect Nozzle (with quick-disconnect spout):
- Pros: Allows for quick and easy removal of the spout, which is ideal for checking or cleaning the 100-mesh filter. The quick-disconnect feature also enables the rapid change between a duck bill spout for jet fuel and a round spout for helicopter fueling.
- Cons: Higher initial cost compared to the manual version.
Key features to consider for either model
- Filtering: Comes standard with a 100-mesh stainless steel filter to prevent contaminants from entering the aircraft’s fuel tank.
- Spout Options: You can choose between a duck bill spout (for jet fuel) or a round spout (for aviation gas and helicopters).
- Inlet Connections: Available with various common inlet connections like 1-1/2” or 1-1/4” Female NPT or BSPP threads.
