To replace the breakaway seals:
- Remove the old O-rings.
NOTE: If you are dismantling the quick breakaway valve, make sure that you
have a spare seal kit available. O-rings that are subjected to natural gas at
high pressure swell when exposed to air and must be replaced.
- Replace the old O-rings with the new lubricated O-rings.
NOTE: Always use O-ring lubricant to prevent the O-rings from being
damaged.
If the breakaway parts under gas pressure for no apparent reason check that
the pressure relief hole is clear. If the pressure relief hole is blocked, gas
pressure will force the male and female ends apart.
To reconnect the breakaway:
- Make sure that both male and female receptacle breakaway parts are
clean before reassembly.
- Check that the pressure relief hole is clear.
NOTE: If the pressure relief hole is not clear, gas pressure will force the male
and female ends to part.
- Firmly connect the female and male connectors.
NOTE: If the breakaway is not connected correctly when gas pressure is
applied, it will come apart completely.
