14900 Series Self-Sealing Frangible Quick Disconnect For crash-resistant and extended range fuel systems
Breakaway Valve Features Manual Quick Disconnect Arm / Re-arm Option
Avoid fuel leakage hazards of aircraft structural damage from hard landings.
Our new 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.
