The standard D-1 and D-2 differ only in the inlet coupling. Some military applications favor the D-1 over the D-2 and vise versa. When a D-1 is required and only D-2’s are available from stock, the D-1 must be ordered. Now a new D-3 inlet coupling is available, that makes it possible to simply vary the inlet from the straight (D-2) to the 45° (D-1) inlet configuration. This can be done without tools simply by swiveling the inlet to the configuration (0 to 45° and angles in between) desired. This inlet configuration is available as part number 47566 or as option “N” to either the 64201 or 64349 Nozzles. See Bulletins 64201 and 64349 for ordering information when buying a new nozzle.

Most refueling companies require that the nozzle screen be checked periodically. With a standard nozzle/hose system, the hose must be drained to accomplish this feat. The use of a Dry Break instead of the standard Quick Disconnect on the nozzle keeps the fuel in the hose, only the residual fuel in the nozzle need be caught during the inspection. All previous Dry Break Disconnects had several disadvantages including the need to use a screwdriver to accomplish the disconnect. The separation of the two halves of the unit was a "two-man" job and the seal design prevented the unit from actually swivelling during nozzle connection.
The 61154 family of Dry Break Quick Disconnects is an updated design of the Carter 60672-1 Series. The ...

The Carter Hose End Control Valves (HECV’s) provide pressure limitation at the outlet to protect the aircraft while refueling. Three different pressure settings are available to tailor the control system to the customer’s requirements. The resultant control pressure curve is flat with little “droop” in pressure up to 300 U.S. gpm. Downstream surge pressure generated as a result of a rapid rise in downstream pressure (aircraft valve closure) is limited to 75 psi.
Outlets are available to mate the HECV to any Carter or Thiem nozzle. Threaded inlet and outlet adapter fittings are also available for alternative installations away from a nozzle. A variety of inlet fittings are available to mate industry standard hose connections.

The Carter 64015 Ball Valve is designed to mate with various manufacturer's underwing refueling nozzles to provide ease of strainer inspection and to add a true swivel action to the combination unit. The Ball Valve is available with a variety of options for customizing of the unit to fit various requirements. In one form, the strainer can be checked without the spillage of any fuel. In its simplest form, fuel spillage caused by the checking of the strainer is limited to a minimum.
Carter now offers an underwing nozzle designed for small airfield, FBO, use with a new easy to use quick disconnect for strainer checking, with or without an effective dry break. The underwing nozzle, a derivation of the 64348, utilizes the Carter Unisex Coupling as the disconnect.
Along with this underwing nozzle, Carter also offers an interchange fitting to effect easy underwing to overwing or Closed Circuit Refueling (CCR) Nozzle interchange with a minimum of fuel spillage.
