Dixon Valve SBC400SS MannTek Safety Break-Away Coupling

Features:

• Designed to be installed between a fixed point (pipe, pump, manifold) and a hose
• Minimizes spillage and damage associated with pull-away incidents
• Coupling automatically senses an excessive load, closes the valves and disconnects, release is executed when force causes bolts to break
• High flow rate / low pressure drop

Applications:

• Coupling is designed to minimize spillage and damage associated with drive away and pull away incidents.
• Typical applications: loading rack

Safety break-away coupling 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.
