Spec Sheet
The OPW Engineered Systems Kamvalok® dry disconnect is designed to automatically shut off in the event of an accidental disconnection of the coupler and adaptor. Should the Kamvalok® be accidentally disconnected due to operator error or accident while the handle is in the open position and product flow is in progress, the poppet in the adaptor will automatically close and the seal cylinder will immediately stop flow through the coupler.
After the Kamvalok® adaptor and coupler are firmly coupled together, the coupler handle is turned to the OPEN position. This action moves the coupler poppet toward the adaptor poppet until the two mating poppets make contact. By completely turning the handle to the full open position the coupler poppet is extended beyondthe end of the coupler, depressing the adaptor poppet back into the adaptor body. This creates clearance for the liquid flow around both the coupler and adaptor poppets. Guiding fins in the coupler and deflectors in the adaptor ensure even flow characteristics. When the handle is returned to the CLOSED position, the poppets are closed and the disconnection can be made. With the exception of the minimal amount of liquid capturedbetween the two poppets, spillage upon disconnect is prevented.
The 1711D Series Kamvalok® Couplers are installed on the fuel delivery transport truck hose and mate with the 1611AN Adaptors. The combination of the 1711D and 1611AN enable dry connection and dry disconnection of delivery fittings to help prevent accidental spillage of product.
