Abstract
A protective cage for provisional engagement with a pit valve casing during a transfer of a fluid such as a liquid fuel through the pit valve and into a transfer conductor. A framework protrudes above the valve casing and includes a plurality of force deflecting members which are fixed to a base plate thereby defining a deflector which avoids the inadvertent damage to the pit valve or to the transfer conductor's coupling.
