Mann Tek Safety Break-Away

Mann Tek Safety Break-Away Couplings are used to prevent pull away accidents, protect equipment and eliminate unwanted product release.

The couplings are available in a wide range of sizes and can be supplied with a number of different connection combinations and seal types.

Features

• Passive security against situations where a hose or loading arm could be subjected to inadvertent excessive loads.
• Design features a simple mechanism with no loose components which could be lost after release.
• Operates independently of any installed shut off safety system and does not require an external power source.
• Can easily be reset on-site by one person
• High flowrate / low pressure drop
• Positive shut-off of both coupling halves results in minimum product loss.
• Lightweight and robust design.
• Available with ANSI/DIN flanges or threaded (BSP or NPT).Non-axial forces or excessive in-line forces are concentrated upon the specially designed Break Bolts in the Safety Break-Away Coupling. This causes the Break Bolts to rupture allowing the Safety Break-Away Coupling to operate thereby preventing damage to the Hose or Loading Arm.
