Dixon Breaking Bolt Series Aluminum FNPT x FNPT Safety Break-Away Coupling

Coupling is designed to minimize spillage and damage associated with drive away and pull away incidents. Typically used for loading racks.

The safety break-away valve consists of two halves, each with a valve that has an O-ring seal. When the safety break-away couplings separate, it allows the valves to close. The two valves close rapidly, minimizing exposure to personnel and the environment. Safety break-away couplings have three external break bolts. In the case of axial tension all of the bolts take up the force corresponding to the break force on the hose with a safety margin. Non-axial forces concentrate the tension forces more strongly on one bolt, so that the safety break-away coupling reacts in a natural way to the reduction of the hose break forces.
