Product Description
Originally, the DCD breakaway connectors were used by contractors installing gas ducting where it is critical to protect the duct from overload during installation. Many utilities now require the use of a breakaway connector to ensure the final integrity of the ducting.
Use of the breakaway connectors and swivels has expanded over the years to include fiber-optic pulling and line-stringing and has been incorporated into some innovative marine and vehicular towing applications. The versatility of this product is its main feature. It can easily be reset from one value to another allowing the same tool to be used for installation of many different duct sizes each requiring different load settings. To reduce fatigue, install the pin to the specified torque. The pin will not experience fatigue when the load is less than the preload value.
