OPW type Hex-Body Zinc-Clamp Fuel Breakaway Coupling

Hex-Body Zinc-Clamp Fuel Breakaway Coupling for Gasoline Dispensing Systems

Product Description (Google Promotion Style)

Safety, reliability, and ease of installation are essential in fuel dispensing operations. The HBBR-H Series Fuel Breakaway Couplings are expertly engineered to protect hoses, nozzles, and dispensing equipment during unintentional pull-away events. These innovative breakaways separate under a predetermined pull force, while the dual valve mechanism instantly shuts off fuel flow, minimizing spillage and equipment damage.

Worldwide, this type of product is recognized under multiple names:

United States: Fuel Breakaway, Emergency Disconnect

UK & Commonwealth: Fuel Safety Coupler, Hose Breakaway

Europe (Germany, France, etc.): Sicherheits-Trennkupplung (Safety Breakaway Coupling)

Middle East & Africa: Brass Fuel Hose Safety Breakaway

Asia: Fuel Hose Emergency Breakaway / Safety Shutoff Coupling

No matter the name, the mission is the same: safe, rapid, and reliable disconnection during fuel transfer.

Innovative Hex-Body & Zinc Clamp Design

The HBBR-H Series is distinguished by its hexagonal body structure, providing better grip and easier handling during installation. The upper and lower halves of the body are joined by a zinc alloy clamp connector, enhancing stability and durability while simplifying assembly on-site. This design improves mechanical integrity, reduces installation errors, and increases service life in demanding fuel station environments.

HBBR-H-3/4: Breakaway at 250 lbs ±5%, requires a straightening hose ≥ 9”

HBBR-H-1: Breakaway at 300 lbs ±5%, requires a straightening hose ≥ 12”
