What is an oil and fuel dry break coupling?
An oil and fuel dry break coupling is a quick-release fluid connector that allows a fluid line to be separated quickly and cleanly. Internal shut-off valves automatically close both sides when disconnected, helping to minimise fluid loss and contamination.
-
How does a dry break coupling work?
When the two halves are connected using the bayonet locking mechanism, the internal valves open to allow fluid to flow through the coupling. When disconnected, the double shut-off system automatically closes both sides, helping to retain fluid within the separated sections of the system.
-
Do I need tools to disconnect the dry break coupling?
No. The coupling uses a bayonet locking mechanism designed for fast, tool-free connection and disconnection.
-
What can these dry break couplings be used for?
They are designed for motorsport oil and fuel systems, including fuel lines, engine oil systems, oil cooler circuits and differential oil coolers where a quick-release fluid connection is required.
-
Which fluids are compatible?
The couplings use FPM (Viton) O-ring seals and are specified for petrol, diesel, race fuel, engine oil and gear oil. Compatibility should be confirmed when using specialised or unusual fluid formulations.
-
What type of connections do the couplings use?
Both mating halves use male AN connections with JIC 37° male cone flares for connection to compatible female AN fittings. See the available options for exact connection sizes.
-
What material are the dry break couplings made from?
The couplings are manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium with a black and gunmetal grey anodised finish.
-
Are both halves of the dry break coupling included?
Yes. Each coupling is supplied as a complete set with both mating halves.
-
Are these dry break couplings suitable for road use?
No. These Oil & Fuel Dry Break Quick Release Couplings are intended for motorsport use only and are not approved for road use.
-
How should I maintain an oil or fuel dry break coupling?
Regularly inspect the coupling, valves and sealing surfaces for damage, wear or contamination and keep both halves clean when disconnected. Any cleaning or lubrication products used should be compatible with the FPM (Viton) seals and the fluid used in the system.
