Breakaway Coupling 3/4″ for Fuel Dispenser Nozzle
Breakaway coupling — a critically important safety component of the fuel dispenser that is installed between the delivery hose and the nozzle. Protects equipment from damage in the most common gas station accident: the driver forgot to remove the nozzle from the fuel tank and drove away. Without the coupling — the hose tears off, and often part of the dispenser column as well. With the coupling — it simply disconnects, both ends self-seal, no fuel leakage.
Operating Principle
- Inside the coupling — two self-closing check valves and a shear pin
- During normal operation the coupling allows fuel to flow without resistance
- When the hose is pulled with force exceeding 170 kgf (1.7 kN) the shear pin breaks
- The coupling separates into two halves, both valves automatically close — fuel does not leak
- After the incident — replace the pin (or the entire coupling if damaged), the system is ready to operate
Without Breakaway Coupling
When driving away with the nozzle inserted without a protective coupling, typically the following occurs:
- Rupture of the delivery hose at the connection to the column (5-15 thousand UAH)
- Deformation of the dispenser body or electronics damage (10-50 thousand UAH)
- Spillage of 2-5 liters of fuel on the pavement — environmental damage + fine
- Possibility of fire from gasoline vapors igniting from metal sparks
- Fuel dispenser downtime for repair (from several hours to days)
What to Do After Activation
If the coupling activates correctly — simply:
- Reconnect the two halves (slide back together)
- Replace the shear pin (costs less than a new coupling)
- Check for leaks during test pump startup
- Resume operation
Compatibility
The coupling is designed for standard 3/4″ connection — compatible with nozzles OPW 11A/11B, ZVA Slimline 2, Husky 1A/X, Elaflex and others with standard inlet size.
