Fulcrum Dry Break

Fulcrum dry break couplings are an effective form of connection where exceptionally low spillage and air inclusion properties are required.

• Available in Aluminium, Bronze and Stainless Steel.
• 3/4” to 4” size range.
• BSP or NPT Female threads and flanged options.
• Working pressure 150 psi (10 bar).
• Connectable against internal pressures up to 60 psi (4 bar).
• High flow rates / low pressure drops.
• Optional selectivity to prevent cross coupling contamination.
• Tested and approved by TUV.
• Environmentally friendly.
• A team standard product, interchangeable with Todo, Avery Hardoll, Emco Wheaton & Mann-Tek.
• Integrated 3600 swivels on hose units.

Applications

Fulcrum couplings have a wide range of industrial applications, which include aircraft refuelling, bottom loading road and rail tankers, handling dangerous, toxic, valuable or unpleasant fluids where minimum spillage is vital.

How it Works

Coupling is connected by rotating the hose unit onto the tank unit. The rotary action forces the internal poppet of the hose unit forward, opening the valve in the tank unit. Once coupled, transfer of product is possible. On disconnection both the hose and tank unit valves close automatically and spill free separation is achieved.

The standard materials are Aluminium, Bronze and 316 Stainless Steel all fitted with Viton seals as standard. Optional seal materials include EPDM, Nitrile, Kalrez etc.

The coupling size is distinguished by the coupling bore of the hose unit and the outside diameter of the tank unit. The standard sizes of which are 56mm, 70mm, 105mm, 119mm and 164mm.
