Claim Text:
1. A fluid transfer system comprising: a coupler defining a coupler inlet and a coupler outlet and a coupler valve disposed therein and being moveable between an open-coupler valve position and a closed-coupler valve position; a transfer device defining an inlet and an outlet, an actuator having a grasping portion moveable fore and aft, said actuator moveable between a first position and a second position, and a valve assembly disposed therein and operatively coupled to said actuator, said valve assembly including a main valve moveable between a closed-main valve position and an open-main valve position in response to movement of said actuator and a pilot valve moveable between a closed-pilot valve position and an open-pilot valve position in response to movement of said actuator wherein said main valve is in said closed-main valve position and said pilot valve is in said closed-pilot valve position when said actuator is in said first position; and wherein a configuration of said coupler and said transfer device being coupled together, said coupler valve being in said closed-coupler valve position and said main valve being in said closed-main valve position, a space between a face of said main valve and a face of said coupler valve is located within said outlet of said transfer device to reduce fluid emissions upon uncoupling said transfer device from said coupler.
