Avoid fuel leakage hazards of aircraft structural damage from hard landings with the 14900 Series Self-Sealing Frangible Quick Disconnect for crash-resistant and extended range fuel systems. The breakaway valve features manual quick disconnect arm/re-arm option.

The Series 14900 Frangible Quick Disconnect Assembly takes the proven 14000 Series BALVAC® (Ball Valve, Automatic Closure) Breakaway Valve Assemblies one step further.

Frangible Quick Disconnect Assemblies retain all of the proven spring-loaded self-rotating breakaway ball valve design features, while adding a manual reset "quick-disconnet" option. In this manner, the assembly not only operates as a frangible segment of the pressurized fuel system, it is also quickly engaged or disengaged. This feature allows rapid installation or removal of additional fuel tanks/bladders or other extended range fuel system components, with no loss of pressurization and while maintaining all frangible system requirements. Existing breakaway valve installations can be retro-fit with a Spectrum® Frangible Quick Disconnect Assembly with no penalty in fuel flow/pressure drop considerations.

Previous cumbersome installation/removal operations of crashworthy fuel system components or cells can now be streamlined to save time and manpower. Series 14900 Frangible Quick Disconnects are fully qualified and readily available.
