Safety Breakaway Valve(M42X1.5)
Safety Breakaway Valve (M42×1.5 High-Pressure for Gas Station Dispensers)
Core Differentiation:Adopts a composite structure of “aluminum alloy housing + stainless steel M42×1.5 thread component + fiber-reinforced plastic internal parts + PU/NBR seals” with a preset breakaway force of 1200-1500N — breaking through the limitations of ordinary valves such as “single material, poor thread adaptability, redundant/insufficient breakaway force”. The M42×1.5 thread precisely matches gas station high-pressure pipelines, and the composite material achieves the synergistic advantages of “lightweight corrosion resistance + strong connection wear resistance + seal anti-aging”; the other end can be selected as internal or external thread, flexibly adapting to different interface types of dispensers and nozzles.
1. Performance Parameters
- Material System:
- Housing: Aluminum alloy (lightweight, resistant to gasoline/diesel corrosion);
- Thread Component: Stainless steel (M42×1.5 specification, ensuring connection strength and wear resistance);
- Internal Parts: High-strength fiber-reinforced plastic (impact-resistant, self-lubricating, maintaining internal structural stability);
- Seals: PU (polyurethane) + NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) (fuel-aging resistant, instantaneous sealing during separation).
- Specification Parameters:
- Thread: Fixed end M42×1.5 external thread, adaptive end optional internal/external thread;
- Breakaway Force: 1200-1500N (customizable, balancing safety redundancy and triggering reliability);
- Working Pressure: ≤0.6 MPa, Applicable Medium: Gasoline, Diesel, Working Temperature: -20℃~+60℃.
2. Working Principle, Scenarios & Usage
- Working Principle:
The valve integrates a *precise shear separation structure*. When the external force (such as violent dragging of the nozzle by a vehicle) reaches the preset value of 1200-1500N, the aluminum alloy housing and the M42×1.5 stainless steel thread component separate quickly, and the internal PU/NBR seals block the fuel channel simultaneously, achieving “breakaway = sealing, no leakage”.
- Application Scenarios:
M42×1.5 specification dispenser-nozzle high-pressure connection pipelines in gas stations, designed to prevent pipeline breakage and large-scale fuel leakage caused by violent dragging, protecting equipment and on-site safety.
- Usage:
1. Installation:
- Thread Selection: Select the breakaway valve with internal or external thread at the adaptive end according to the dispenser/nozzle interface type;
- Thread Alignment: Align the M42×1.5 external thread end with the gas station M42×1.5 specification pipeline interface, and align the other end with the dispenser/nozzle pipeline interface, ensuring no thread damage or debris;
- Tightening Operation: Use a corresponding wrench to tighten the stainless steel thread component **evenly and slowly** (verify the seal by pressure test).
2. Operation:
The passage is smooth during normal refueling, and it automatically separates and seals when the external force meets the standard, without manual intervention throughout the process.
3. Maintenance:
- Quarterly Inspection: Check the wear of M42×1.5 threads, corrosion of the aluminum alloy housing, and aging of PU/NBR seals;
- Function Test: Apply external force within the range of 1200-1500N with professional tools to verify separation reliability and sealing integrity;
- Component Replacement: Replace corresponding parts or the entire valve in time if threads are worn, seals are aged, or the breakaway force deviates from the preset value.
