Key Features & Benefits
-
Spill Protection: Drastically reduces the inherent hazards of connecting and disconnecting fluid lines, preventing accidental spills of hazardous, toxic, or expensive materials.
-
Total Closed-Loop Loading: When paired with the OPW 2173N Vapor Recovery Dry Disconnect, the system forms a complete closed-loop environment. This safely contains both hazardous liquids and volatile vapors in-line, keeping them out of the atmosphere.
-
Dual Protection (Bi-Directional Shut-Off): Features an automatic, positive closure mechanism from both directions. Upon disconnection, both the coupler and the adaptor instantly seal off to lock fluid inside the lines.
-
Operator Friendly (Ease of Use): Designed with a straightforward connect/disconnect mechanism and a lever-actuated internal poppet. This configuration ensures smooth, effortless operation during high-frequency liquid transfers.
