Safety Breakaways
PRODUCTS
The NTS Series Safety Breakaways from OPW represents the best available technology to protect your equipment, your people and the environment. Whether you are loading tank trucks, railcars, barges or ships, with liquid or gas; the NTS is designed to separate in the event of an unintended pull-away. Non-return valves positively shut both ends preventing spills and protecting the loading station at the same time.
Want more? The NTS can also be reassembled without tools or spare parts. You’re back up and running in a matter of minutes.
NTS-PU (direct pull) Series Safety Breakaway Coupling
Protects your equipment, piping, and personnel in the event of an unintended pull-away. A consideration whenever you are making a tight connection to a truck or railcar.
SAFER. Protects loading rack facilities, hoses, and personnel by preventing damage and spills during a pull-away incident.
CLEANER. High-value fluid and gas transfer is protected by two spring energized valves for maximum protection with a minimum of fluid loss.
