Mini-Deadman™

The heart of any deadman is the switch. The switch in this deadman has a built-in rolling diaphragm seal, aluminum body (not glass, rubber, or plastic), and an 8 amp contact rating. It is hermetically sealed, yet is easily replaceable, incorporating “push on” type electrical connections, eliminating troubles with wire nuts or soldering. In addition, the housing is o-ring sealed and has an anodized aluminum switch carrier and cable base fitting. The strain relief is a spiral type with a watertight seal.

Dura-Deadman
GTP-9720

Solid, super durable, cold molded, and virtually unbreakable, this handle is made of pure polyurethane. This new Dura-Deadman handle is the strongest and most reliable deadman we offer. It was tested for over half a million cycles, we’ve driven over it with trucks, and it’s been dragged on pavement – all without failure. It features replaceable polyurethane drag bosses for even longer life. Made in USA.

Electric

These handles are weather-tight sealed. They are not suitable for AC applications unless an intrinsically safe barrier/relay is used.

Switch data: Normally open switches are standard. Add “-NC” to the part number for normally closed.

Pneumatic/Hydraulic

These handles each contain two valves to provide fast reaction time. Seals are Buna/Nitrile.

Gammon One-CC Water Probe

Meets EI-1596

Detects water in filter separator sumps

Allows periodic testing requiring only 1cc of water, even during refueling

Thousands in service worldwide

The problem with water detector probes has always been that others are impossible to test periodically without stopping flow, dismantling, or injecting water into the vessel. People are afraid that too much water may be injected. The One-CC Probe solves this simply. First, it has a patented design that only needs 1 ml (1cc) of water for a complete test. Second, it has a built-in water pump, and this pump is only capable of injecting 1 ml (1 cc) of water.

The One-CC™ Water Detector Probe is designed for use in any intrinsically safe electronic control system sensitive enough to detect water by conductivity/resistance. This new probe can therefore replace existing probes in Meggitt/Whittaker equipment if they utilize our replacement controls.

We offer electronic controls in DC, AC, weather tight and explosion proof versions.

Basic Water Probe
GTP-9734

lower price – includes circuit tester

For those who prefer a smaller and less expensive water probe. All-stainless construction. Push button circuit tester. Can be fitted to a simple valved drain line assembly which allows for true water testing to EI1596. 3/4” NPT or BSPT connections.

Deadman Hose
GTP-1202

both hoses have neoprene construction, Buna-N tubes

Manufactured to Gammon Technical Products, Inc. specifications, this hose is superior to any available air Deadman hose on the market. It is suitable for all refueling operations.

The tubes are made out of Buna-N (nitrile rubber) to resist fuel from cross-leakage in the control system. The braided, reinforced tubes have neoprene covers to resist oils that contaminate ramp areas. A special additive is included to give the cover superior resistance to cracking.

Available in cut lengths or reels, with or without fittings.

Inside diameter 1/4 inch
Operating pressure rating 200psi
Burst pressure rating more than 800psi

NOTE: all standard 1/4” twin welding hose has neoprene tube, which will fail when fuel gets in the air system. This hose has Buna N nitrile rubber tubes.
