Dixon Valve, BC62-100, Bayonet Style 1" Dry Disconnect Straight Coupler x Female NPT, FKM
Features:
- Ensures a spill-free connection, fluid cannot flow until couplings are connected and the valve is opened; coupling can then not be disconnected until the valve handle is closed
- Maximum operating pressure: 85 PSI at 75°F (24°C)
Application:
- For the spill-less transfer of petroleum products such as fuel oil, lube oil blending and tank truck delivery
These products are designed to operate as Dry Disconnect couplings. They are to be used in place of standard couplings when it is desired to prevent the product from spilling from the fittings upon disconnect. This product is not intended to be the primary flow control or flow shut-off device. Just as with standard non-dry disconnect fittings, it is intended that a flow control and flow shutoff valve will be installed in the system. To use these fittings, attach the coupler to the mating adapter by aligning the three bayonet studs with the three corresponding notches in the adapter. Push the coupler onto the adapter and rotate clockwise about 20° clockwise until the coupler stops rotating. To open the fittings, rotate the lever on the coupler approximately 190° counterclockwise until it moves into an over-center position and remains in place. At this time, the flow control valve can be opened to transfer the product. After the product has been transferred, close the flow control valve, then rotate the coupler lever clockwise until it returns to its over-center closed position and remains in place. Rotate the coupler about 20° counterclockwise until the coupler stops rotating. Separate the coupler from the adapter.
Cautions: Care must be taken in the design of the piping system to avoid trapping liquid between a shut-off valve and a Dry Disconnect Coupler or Adapter. If the liquid is trapped in this manner and the temperature increases, the pressure in the closed volume will rise dramatically and the Dry Disconnect fitting will be damaged.
