Dry Disconnect products prevent spillage from both routine and accidental disconnects. A dry disconnect consists of a built-in valve in the coupler and a spring-loaded poppet in the mating adaptor that automatically closes when disconnected. OPW’s line of dry disconnect products include Drylok™ and the economical cam-and-groove coupler Kamvalok®. Both Drylok™ and Kamvalok® are suitable for a broad range of hazardous liquid transfer applications. |

Drylok™ is designed to safely transfer hazardous corrosive, volatile liquids such as acids, solvents and petrochemicals. An interlocking handle averts accidental spills by preventing uncoupling while the valve is open. And the unit’s flat face minimizes fluid loss, further reducing exposure to risk during operation. Drylok™ is ideal for all kinds of hazardous fluids where product loss is a problem, such as high-pressure lines, high flow rates, slurries, and gases.

Kamvalok® Dry Disconnect Couplings are considered the standard of the industry and are used at liquid transfer points where product loss could occur. Kamvaloks® provide a reliable solution to prevent spillage during connection or disconnection. They are particularly well suited for handling petroleum products, solvents, Ag-chemicals, vegetable oils, detergents and many acids and caustics.
