D-3 INLET COUPLING ASSEMBLY

MODEL 47566

NSN 4730-01-534-0950

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-2s 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.
The 47566 Universal Inlet Coupling,
shown to the left in the D-1 45
configuration, will retrofit onto any
existing 64201 Nozzle and most
64349 Nozzles (see Caution on page
2). The existing straight or 45 inlet
coupling is removed and the 47566
inserted in place.
The retrofitted
nozzle can then be used as either the
D-1 or D-2 configuration with no
further changes.
The illustrations to the right show both
Carters QPL D-1/D-2 Nozzles with
the new universal inlet coupling.
Rotating the inlet coupling will convert
the nozzle from a D-1 to a D-2 and
vise versa. Only one nozzle is now
needed where there can be a need for
both D-1 and D-2 configurations.

There is no penalty in flow with this

new coupling. The new universal
coupling, when installed onto a nozzle,
will result in a slightly increased length
than the standard D-1/D-2 nozzles.
See the envelope drawing on page 2
for more on this.

FEATURES
Single inlet coupling for both D-1 and D-2
applications.

Conversion from D-1 to D-2 or vise versa can

be accomplished on the hose.

Existing Carter 64349 & 64201 Nozzles can be

retrofitted. (See caution when considering
retrofitting the 64349).

No tools required to change from D-1 to D-2

configurations.

No flow penalty.

Continuity between the moving parts in the new

swivel is maintained.
Latest swivel design from 64201 Nozzle used replaceable wear ring used for longer swivel life.

CAUTION - the older Carter 64349 Nozzles (D-1 or D-) may be badly worn at the body swivel joint and it may
not be possible to get a leak tight fit with the new universal coupling. 64349 Nozzles with serial numbers 8200
and later already included the replaceable wire ball race ring. Carter does not recommend retrofitting any
64349 Nozzle that does not have a replaceable wire ball race ring in its inlet.

ORDERING INFORMATION
Order 47566 D-3 Swivel Inlet. The existing balls, ball retaining screw and seal should be able to be resued.
