About

Patent pending new technology is a true innovation since it is an advancement of existing safety concepts but with (1) an advanced internal compression spring system that enables control of axial force to address different flow rates and (2) with a patent pending Tri-Bolt Breakaway® design. Existing safety hose technology has no controlled manner of separating during driveway scenario. Tri-Bolt Hose® has arrived to address this issue.

The innovative, patent pending (3 international patents filed), Lifeguardtm TriBolt Safety system uses an internal compression spring and flapper style shut-off valves on both ends with two primary advantages over existing safety hose technology:

- adjusted to the flow force to avoid nuisance closures 

- prevents distortion of the inner housing tube

- allows for greater hose flexibility

Features

1. ECP (Engineered compression spring): a coated compression spring installed in the hose bore.

The features and benefits of this spring include:

- provides internal construction support

- helps prevent hose kinking

2. Tri-Bolt Breakaway Coupling: a triangular 3 bolt separation coupling installed on the inlet side of the hose.

- Increases safety by providing a control shear point

- 3 bolt separation coupling installed on the inlet side of the hose. The feature and benefits include:

-  Specially designed shear bolts made from a special stainless steel alloy

- Reduces product loss in the event of pull-away

- Separates at any angle of pull, stopping the flow in both directions

- Bolts shear at 2100 lbs of straight axial pull force they also separate at 1400 psi of hydrostatic pressure

- Larger bore diameter reduces flow restriction to less than 4%

- The plant facility hose simplifies bulk piping piping by providing a controlled break point
