OPW 1600AN Series Kamvalok® Dry Disconnect Adaptors for Direct Fill

Spec Sheet
Installation Instructions

The OPW Engineered Systems? Kamvalok® dry disconnect is designed to automatically shut off in the event of an accidental disconnection of the coupler and adaptor. Should the Kamvalok® be accidentally disconnected due to operator error or accident while the handle is in the open position and product flow is in progress, the poppet in the adaptor will automatically close and the seal cylinder will immediately stop flow through the coupler.

After the Kamvalok® adaptor and coupler are firmly coupled together, the coupler handle is turned to the OPEN position. This action moves the coupler poppet toward the adaptor poppet until the two mating poppets make contact. By completely turning the handle to the full open position the coupler poppet is extended beyond the end of the coupler, depressing the adaptor poppet back into the adaptor body. This creates clearance for the liquid flow around both the coupler and adaptor poppets. Guiding fins in the coupler and deflectors in the adaptor ensure even flow characteristics. When the handle is returned to the CLOSED position, the poppets are closed and the disconnection can be made. With the exception of the minimal amount of liquid captured between the two poppets, spillage upon disconnect is prevented.

The 1600AN Series Adaptor is specifically designed to mate with OPW Kamvalok® Couplings to help prevent liquid spillage during the connection/disconnection process. The adaptor contains a spring-loaded poppet to assure fast closing and tight seal.

The 1611AN Series Kamvalok? Adaptor is installed at the fill pipe and replaces the 633AST. The 1611AN contains an internal spring-loaded valve assembly that automatically closes to help prevent fuel spillage. The 1611AN mates with the 1711D Coupler to open the spring-loaded valve and proceed with a delivery 204016.

Why Use Kamvaloks®?

• If your product is corrosive, toxic, caustic or otherwise harmful, Kamvaloks® will reduce the hazard associated with the transfer of these products
• If your product is a VOC (volatile organic compound) that has a high vapor pressure and tends to evaporate quickly, Kamvaloks® will keep the product in-line and out of the air.
• Kamvaloks® will contain fugitive emissions, transfer VOCs without vapor loss, help keep employees out of harm?s way and help promote responsible environmental management.
