Coupler protects against pull-away incidents

The Smart-Hose Technologies break-away coupler protects plant piping, bulkhead piping, tank truck piping and loading arms from the consequences of pull-away incidents. The product offers break-away protection that does not create a flow restriction, and the break points can be custom designed. The product is rebuildable and requires no annual maintenance, the company says. Based in Folcroft, Pennsylvania, Smart-Hose Technologies is an engineering company that offers a number of products designed to ensure safety in and around hose assemblies. Their Smart-Hose hose assembly is available for 1.25-, 2- and 3-in. LP gas transfer applications.
