Our Tool Release (TR) option provides the perfect solution for areas where you want to significantly reduce the risk of staff putting their hands near dangerous moving parts.
The BFM® Tool Release (TR) option has been developed for applications where the connector is mounted very close to equipment that is rotating or spinning very fast, providing additional safety for production and maintenance staff.
The snap-band of the BFM® TR option is manufactured to have a firmer fit than a standard connector, making it virtually impossible to remove the connector by hand. It also makes it ideal for negative pressure (vacuum) applications.
The BFM® TR (tool release) Seeflex 040E/020E/060ES fittings have a white embossed identifier stamp to make them easy to differentiate from our standard fittings.

We have two available Tool Release options, each with different shaped insertion holes and tools.
The Standard Tool Release has a round shaped insertion, whereas the Smiley Face Tool has an insertion shaped like a smiley face when looking at it from the end.
Rather than a standard 'round' hole drilled in the edge of the spigot, our 'Smiley Face' Tool Release Option has a unique 'smiley' shaped hole that stops anything but our 'Smiley Face' Tool Release Tool from being used to remove the connector.
The special Smiley Face Tool can then be held securely and only accessed by authorized personnel to ensure safe operation.
We have Authorized Distributors who will help work through what you want to achieve and how BFM® fitting can improve your plant.
