Smart-Hose Hose Safety Breakaway | Video
Smart-Hose hose safety breakaway system is a proven hose technology designed to counteract the hazardous effect of hose rupture or failure during fluid or gaseous transfer operations. All Smart-Hose designs eliminate the potential for disaster through the use of an internal cable connected to specially designed, normally unseated valve flapper valves or plunger poppets located on each end of the cable.
In the event of hose separation, stretching to the point of an unsafe condition or coupling-to-hose separation the valve flappers or plungers are released and instantly seat stopping the flow in both directions.
