Product Description

Title Line

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.

Application
  • Tool Release can be added to connectors to act as an additional safety measure as it is virtually impossible to remove by hand and requires a specifically shaped tool.

Smiley Face Tool Release

Title Line

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.

TR Lock-Out Safety System

A ‘TR Lock-Out’ Tube is welded to the outside of the spigot over the tool release hole in the top ridge of the BFM® fitting Spigot.

padlock can then be inserted, blocking access to the TR hole.  The padlock key can then be held by authorized staff only.
