Safety Breakaway Couplings

Safety Breakaway Couplings

Through its partnership with MannTek, KALYMNOS FUEL ENGINEERING provides Safety Breakaway Couplings (Emergency Release Couplings) with integrated shut-off valves, for the ultimate prevention of accidents and environmental incidents.

Absolute Protection Against “Pull-Away” Accidents
These couplings are installed as the weakest link in the line and are designed to break at a predetermined tensile load. Upon breakage, the internal valves automatically and instantly shut off flow on both sides, preventing:

  • Uncontrolled product release
