E-344GF Dry-Break Quick Disconnect (R-8/05)
Dry-Break Quick Disconnect
The Cla-Val Model 344GF is a Dry-
Break Quick Disconnect that allows
safe, easy nozzle removal from the
delivery hose or pantograph.
Constructed of hard-anodized
aluminum and stainless steel, the
Cla-Val 344GF provides an easy way
to inspect or perform maintenance on
a refueling nozzle or strainer.
To ensure a secure connection, the
Cla-Val 344GF Dry-Break Quick
Disconnect has a spring-loaded sleeve and two spring-loaded
latches. Both latches must be
depressed and the spring-loaded
sleeve moved away before the
male adapter can be removed from
the female half. Disconnecting the
male adapter automatically closes
the valve in the female half,
shutting off the flow of fuel in the
hose or pantograph. Reconnecting
the male adapter automatically
reopens the valve. The shut-off valve in the female
half of the Cla-Val 344GF is a
unique butterfly configuration that
seals tightly when closed and
provides an extremely low pressure
drop when open. When the
butterfly valve is closed, it is strong
enough to withstand the periodic
hydrostatic testing of refueling
hoses to 300 psi.
