Abstract: A safe entry apparatus is mountable in a first compartment on a wall separating the first compartment from a second compartment. The apparatus is provided for receiving a nozzle to permit a fluid from the nozzle to be transferred into the second compartment. The apparatus includes a housing having first end, a second end, and a passageway extending between the first end and the second end. A nozzle receiver is disposed adjacent to the second end of the housing for receiving the nozzle. The nozzle receiver includes a cavity into which the end of the nozzle can be inserted. The cavity is in fluid communication with the passageway. A pair of gate members are mounted to the housing and are movable between a nozzle releasing position to permit the nozzle to be received into the cavity, and a nozzle engaging position for gripping the nozzle to secure the nozzle in the cavity.
