ABSTRACT:
A protective collar for a nozzle adaptor and fill pipe assembly includes a collar body with upper throughholes and lower throughholes. The upper throughholes have bolts or set screws passing therethrough for contacting the nozzle adaptor, and the lower throughholes have threaded rods passing therethrough for contacting the standpipe. Bracing assemblies are telescopically mounted on the threaded rods. The bracing assemblies are T-shaped and include friction pads for contacting inner walls of a spill bucket in which the fill pipe is located and are connected to the protective collar by a tubular stem fitted over the threaded rods. There is a nut for telescoping the T-shaped bracing member outwardly against the walls to engage the walls and prevent rotation of the nozzle adaptor. In another embodiment, the nozzle adaptor and collar are unitarily formed.
