Dixon Breaking Bolt Series Stainless Steel 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, these couplings are also suitable for LP Gas service.

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.
