FLB-1000 Fill Line Breakaway – CNG Fueling Safety Disconnect

Name: FLB-1000 Fill Line Breakaway – CNG Fueling Safety Disconnect
Brand: OPW CleanEnergy
Availability: InStock

The FLB-1000 CNG hose breakaway is a safety device designed to protect compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations from damage caused by accidental drive-away incidents.

Installed in the main pressure line 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 the dispenser, hose and fueling nozzle while helping minimize gas release.

The FLB-1000 is engineered for demanding refueling environments where reliable performance and safety are critical. Its durable construction and compact design allow for easy installation while maintaining high flow capacity for modern CNG fueling systems.

Breakaway couplings like the FLB-1000 are widely used in CNG and biomethane fueling infrastructure to improve safety, protect equipment and reduce downtime following accidental drive-away events.
