Safe product transfer solutions
Minimising the risk of liquid and gas spillage
The catastrophic consequences of spillage
When fitting a KLAW Safety Breakaway
Coupling you ensure that everything has
been done to eliminate risk and mitigate
legal action.
The KLAW Safety Breakaway Coupling range
offers a safe and identifiable parting point
within the transfer system and will stop flow
in an emergency such as a drive-off or other
strain on the transfer system.
The experience and track-record of KLAW
enables you to minimise risk to assets,
personnel, the environment and reputation and
protect against downtime and clean-up costs,
litigation and injury.
Fitting a KLAW Breakaway Coupling
means you have ensured that everything
has been done to eliminate risk and
mitigate legal action.
KLAW Breakaway Systems prevent spillage, damage to
assets and injury to personnel.
The lack of a Breakaway System in the event of a drive-off
can be catastrophic.

The benefits of KLAW Safety Breakaway Couplings
Avoiding the consequences of partial break
Partial break occurs when
a coupling only partially
separates. A partial
break event provides a
situation where spillage is
uncontrollable.
The valve mechanism within the
KLAW range is designed to avoid
the risk of partial break.
KLAW Breakaway Couplings
provide 100% closure even on
partial separation.
Other Breakaway Couplings can
result in uncontrolled spillage in the
event of a partial separation.

all industrial product
transfer installations.
K1 sizes: 1 1/2 to 12
The KLAW Breakaway Coupling has breakstuds that hold the two halves of the coupling together.
Its purpose is to resist external loads and line pressure up to a pre-determined point.
The unit activates when it is subjected to forces higher than the breakload setting.

KLAW Flip-Flap Valve technology
Sequential Closure using KLAW
Breakstud release technology
1. Internal flaps are
positioned in line with
the flow. These keep
each other open, offering
minimum headloss.
2. As the unit begins
to separate, the
discs flip through
a controlled arc.
KLAW Emergency Release Coupling
The KLAW Emergency Release Coupling (ERC)
has a Collar Release Mechanism with various
release options.
l
Cable release
Hydraulic release
Spring retained
Dual release
This provides the option for predetermined release
of the Emergency Shutdown (ESD) system, rather
than being reliant on forces applied through the
transfer system.

3. The discs continue to
rotate until they have
moved through 90
degrees.
4. The discs snap
onto their seats,
providing 100%
shut-off.
P5
1. Valve mechanism
is in open flow status.
3. Body seal retains
media beyond the
point of valve closure.
2. Collar Release
is activated via the
Release System.
Valves start to
close as the unit
separates.
4. Collar Release
is detached and
the coupling is
separated.
Quick and Safe connections
QS Dry Disconnect Coupling
Connects and disconnects transfer lines with no spillage. The QS is designed
for demanding operating conditions and the rigours of
marine and industrial environments.
l
Valves open and close automatically on connection and disconnection.
This reduces the possibility of human error in transfer operations and
reduces spillages to virtually zero.
The selectivity system prevents cross contamination.
Locking pin as standard, providing additional safety.
Multiple seal options to suit all types of liquids and gases.
he QS features a single easy grip and turn action.
