Description
Dixon’s 6500 Series Self Locking Drop Elbow has a built in heavy duty, locking mechanism prevents accidental elbow disconnections while the elbow is in service. The locking mechanism has lots of free clearance so will not be affected by dirt, ice or snow.
No need for the operator to engage the locking mechanism, just move the handle to the closed position and the lock automatically engages. Releasing the lock is equally as easy, just gripping the handle and lifting. Elbow disconnections can occur on the other elbow designs, from either operators bumping the release mechanism, or from a hydraulic surge when the underground storage tank overfill valve slams shut.
