BRW.08 CNG Breakaway Coupling – Safety Disconnect

Name: BRW.08 CNG Breakaway Coupling – Safety Disconnect
Brand: Stäubli
Availability: InStock

The BRW.08 CNG breakaway coupling is a critical safety component designed to protect compressed natural gas (CNG) and biomethane fueling stations from damage caused by accidental drive-away incidents.

Installed between the dispenser hose and the fueling nozzle, the breakaway coupling automatically separates when excessive tension is applied to the hose. This prevents damage to fueling equipment while helping minimize gas release and ensuring safe shutdown of the fueling system.

The BRW.08 features a compact and durable stainless-steel construction designed for demanding refueling environments. Its reconnectable design allows the coupling to be easily reset after a breakaway event, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for station operators.

Breakaway couplings like the BRW.08 are widely used in modern CNG and biomethane fueling infrastructure to improve safety and protect fueling equipment during vehicle refueling operations.
