Based on the proven 66Rec platform, this unit stops fuel flow automatically when separated, limits spilled product, and keeps dispensing hardware safe. It combines durable materials with a double-poppet valve design for low pressure drop and easy, audible reconnection — making maintenance and incident recovery quicker and more certain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this breakaway stop fuel flow when it separates?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the unit separates under excessive tensile force, dual internal poppets seat automatically to close both sides of the valve and halt fuel movement.
