Series 00560  Breakaway Connector.
Patent Number: U.S.A. 5,599,129
Canadian and European Patent Pending

These products are designed to protect polyethylene ducting from overload during installation by Directional Drilling and are used between the Pullback Swivel and the Duct Puller.

The connectors are a three part product, held together by a group of pins. The pins are designed to break in tension at a specific load. The assembly of the connector is completed by using one or more of the breakaway pins. The sum of the values of the pins is the value at which the connector will come apart. If a single 1000 lb. pin is used, the connector will come apart at 1000 lb., if 3 pins of the same value were used, the connector would come apart at 3000 lb. Different pin values can be mixed and matched to create an enormous number of different values, all in the same connector.  See Operating Specifications.

The connectors are available in two sizes. The smaller unit covers values from 750 lb. (300 kg) up to 12,500 lb. (6000 kg) and the larger unit covers values from 3,000 lb. (2000 kg) up to 45,000 lb. (20,000 kg).

Key Benefits

  • Protect ducting from stretching
  • Different pins allow hundreds of break points
  • Only two sizes covers entire range
  • Guaranteed to +/- 5% Breaking Point
