Abstract
A coupling assembly for use in a loading adapter of a gasoline tanker trailer. The coupling includes an aluminum coupling body and a wear resistant bronze sleeve. The wear resistant bronze sleeve provides a durable surface for receiving latches. The sleeve does not bond to the coupling body, but rather is constrained thereto by physical interference.
