BREAKAWAY CONNECTORS
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 would come apart at 1000 lbs, if 3 pins of the same value
were used, the connector would come apart at 3000 lbs. Different pin values can
be mixed and matched to create an enormous number of different values, all in
the same connector. The connectors are available in two sizes. The smaller unit
covers values from 750 lbs (300 kg) up to 12,500 lbs (6000 kg) and the larger
unit covers values from 3,000 lbs (2000 kg) up to 45,000 lbs (20,000 kg).
