OPW 68EZR-7575 3/4-inch Reconnectable Breakaway for Fuel | Fast Reconnect & Secure Breakaway | OPW

Overview

The OPW 68EZR-7575 is a 3/4-inch reconnectable breakaway designed for retail fueling environments. Built on the proven 66Rec platform, it is engineered to separate quickly under drive-off tension and to rejoin smoothly, helping protect hoses and dispensers while reducing spill risk. In everyday use, you may notice a streamlined reconnection process that feels purposeful and dependable, even in busy service bays.

Performance highlights

• Automatic seating on separation seals the flow to limit spills and protect equipment.
• Tolerates up to 350 lbs of pull force, reducing potential hose and fitting damage during disruptive events.
• Unique double-poppet design delivers low pressure drop for efficient fuel handling.
• Push-twist-click reconnection offers a simple realignment, push, and audible confirmation.
• Cold weather compatibility ensures reliable operation in challenging outdoor conditions.
• Reconnection force is approximately 7 lb, easing the reattachment process.

Real-world use cases

In real-world fueling scenarios, configurations vary from high-hanging hoses to shorter lines behind retractors. The 68EZR-7575 works with a minimum 9-inch straightening hose for high-hanging installations (such as with the OPW 66H) and sits downstream of the retractor cable for shorter hose runs, helping maintain consistent performance across setups.

Materials and construction

• Die-cast zinc (ZAMAK) body with Viton main seals for durability and chemical compatibility.
• Stainless steel spring and acetal/Delrin guide and poppets for smooth operation.
• Protective sleeves and a robust design that supports repeated engagements in daily use.

Installation notes and considerations

For best results on high-hanging hoses, pair the 68EZR-7575 with a straightening hose of at least 9 inches (e.g., OPW 66H). For lower hose configurations, install downstream of the retractor cable to maintain expected performance and safety in the fueling line.

Why choose OPW

This breakaway solution combines secure automatic shutoff with an easy reconnection workflow, designed to offer confidence in daily operations without promising guaranteed outcomes. It is a practical option for operators seeking to balance safety, efficiency, and equipment protection in fuel dispensing environments.
