HBLDF-9XX Series Reconnectable Swivel Breakaway for Standard Fuel Nozzles
Compact Safety Protection for Everyday Fuel Dispensing
Unintended vehicle drive-offs are a frequent cause of equipment damage and fuel loss at service stations worldwide. The HBLDF-9XX Series reconnectable swivel breakaway is designed as a practical safety solution for regular fuel nozzles, helping operators protect dispensers, hoses, and vehicles during accidental pull-away events.
Installed directly at the nozzle inlet, this safety component disconnects automatically when abnormal tension occurs, while instantly stopping fuel flow. After separation, the unit can be quickly reconnected and returned to service, minimizing downtime and replacement costs.
Known by Different Names Around the World
Depending on the region and local industry habits, this product may be described using different terms:
Europe: Fuel nozzle safety breakaway, reconnectable break coupling
North America: Reusable breakaway coupling, swivel breakaway connector
Middle East: Fuel station safety break connector
Africa: Nozzle inlet breakaway device
South America & Asia: Fuel hose breakaway joint or safety swivel coupling
Although the names vary, they all refer to the same core function: automatic disconnection with fuel shut-off to prevent damage during drive-off incidents.
Flexible Swivel Design for Daily Operation
The HBLDF-9XX Series combines a lightweight aluminum body with a dual-rotation swivel structure. Both the male end and the central joint rotate freely, allowing smoother nozzle handling and reducing stress on the fuel hose during normal refueling.
When a pulling force exceeds the preset safety threshold, the breakaway separates cleanly. Reconnection requires only minimal force, allowing staff to restore operation quickly without tools or specialized training.
Engineered for Reliability and Compatibility
Automatic separation force: Activates above approximately 350 lbs
Manual reconnection force: About 15 lbs
Operating pressure range: 0.1 to 0.35 MPa
The HBLDF-9XX Series is suitable for standard fuel dispensing systems using common thread standards, making it easy to integrate into existing station layouts.
Materials and Sealing System
Main body: Aluminum alloy for strength and reduced weight
Thread insert: Brass for stable and durable connections
Sealing options: Buna-N or Viton, selectable to match fuel type and climate conditions
This construction ensures dependable sealing performance and resistance to wear under frequent daily use.
Typical Applications
Retail fuel stations
Urban and highway fueling points
Commercial refueling sites with standard fuel nozzles
Facilities seeking cost-effective protection against drive-off accidents
