Dry Break Couplings – Quick-Release, Spill-Free Fluid Transfer for Motorsport & Performance
Our high-performance dry break couplings offer a fast, clean, and secure solution for fluid line disconnection. Designed specifically for motorsport and performance environments, each dry break coupling delivers reliable high-flow performance with minimal fluid loss during separation.
Why Choose Our Dry Break Couplings?
-
Motorsport-Grade Construction
Engineered for racing, our dry break couplings are CNC-machined from lightweight titanium (AN3) and premium aluminium (AN6 & AN8). These materials offer superior strength, corrosion resistance, and weight savings where it matters most.
-
Advanced Dry Break Valve Design
Each dry break coupling features an internal shut-off valve system that seals both ends instantly when disconnected. This technology eliminates fluid spillage and air ingress, allowing quick, mess-free servicing.
-
Quick-Release Coupling, No Tools Needed
Our tool-free dry break quick couplings feature a push-and-twist bayonet lock, allowing rapid connection and disconnection during pit stops, maintenance, or hose replacement.
-
Track-Tested Reliability
Designed to withstand extreme pressure, high vibration, and temperature fluctuations, these dry break couplings are built to perform under the most demanding racing conditions.
-
Available Sizes & Applications
AN3 Dry Break Couplings
Ideal for brake and clutch fluid lines, providing secure, air-free connections with fast swap-out capability.AN6 & AN8 Dry Break Couplings
Perfect for fuel, oil, and coolant systems—ensuring high flow and zero-drip disconnection.
What Is a Dry Break Coupling?
A dry break coupling is a specialised quick-release connector designed to prevent fluid leakage during disconnection. By automatically sealing both ends when uncoupled, it reduces the risk of air ingress and fluid contamination—making it ideal for performance, motorsport, and high-pressure applications.
Performance-Driven, Race-Proven
Trusted in top-level motorsport, our dry break couplings deliver speed, safety, and reliability. Whether you're managing brake fluid, oil lines, or fuel hoses, these couplings simplify maintenance and reduce downtime.
Upgrade your fluid system with premium dry break couplings – engineered for speed, trusted for safety.

What is a dry break coupling?
A dry break coupling is a fluid connector that allows fast, clean separation of two fluid lines. It automatically seals both sides on disconnection, preventing spillage and reducing air contamination. Commonly used in motorsport and aerospace applications, dry break couplings are ideal for systems requiring frequent disconnection.
-
How do dry break couplings work?
A typical dry break coupling includes a male adapter and a female coupler. When connected, internal valves open to allow fluid to flow. When disconnected, the valves close instantly to stop leaks. This makes dry break couplings ideal for high-pressure systems where cleanliness and speed are essential.
-
What are the typical uses for AN3, AN6, and AN8 dry break couplings?
AN3 Dry Break Couplings: Primarily used in brake and clutch systems, especially in motorsport and high-performance motorcycle applications.
AN6 and AN8 Dry Break Couplings: Commonly used in fuel systems, oil coolers, and coolant lines, enabling fast and clean hose changes.
-
What makes these dry break couplings suitable for motorsport?
Our dry break couplings are engineered for fast, non-spill operation in high-vibration and high-temperature environments. Features like a flush valve design and bayonet locking mechanism provide secure, tool-free operation while supporting the use of pre-filled hoses—minimising downtime during pit stops or maintenance.
-
What materials are used in these dry break couplings?
AN3 Couplings: CNC-machined from titanium for maximum strength and corrosion resistance.
AN6 & AN8 Couplings: Made from high-grade aluminium to balance weight and durability—ideal for high-performance automotive use.
-
How should I maintain dry break couplings?
To maintain optimal performance:
- Inspect regularly for wear, debris, or corrosion.
- Clean with appropriate solvent or cleaner suitable for the fluid in use.
- Lubricate moving parts with compatible grease if required, ensuring it doesn’t affect the fluid system.
-
Can dry break couplings handle high-pressure systems?
Yes. Our dry break couplings are specifically designed for high-pressure, high-temperature environments. Always refer to the specific pressure rating for each size and material, especially when used in motorsport or industrial fluid transfer systems.
-
How do I ensure a proper connection with a dry break coupling?
Alignment: Match the male and female sides correctly.
Engagement: Push and twist to activate the bayonet lock until fully secured.
Inspection: Confirm the connection is flush and sealed before pressurising the system.
