CAM TWIST™ MAGNETIC

In-Line Breakaway
Catlow’s CAM TWIST Magnetic In-Line Breakaway design is the future of breakaway technology.

The CAM TWIST gives you the assurance of a breakaway that will perform when you need it most. The CAM
TWIST Breakaway is held together with powerful “Rare Earth Permanent Magnets”. There is no other breakaway
that gives you the option to easily disconnect, inspect and reconnect while installed. With a twist the breakaway
can be taken apart and inspected for damage, corrosion, and wear without removing the breakaway from service.
There will no longer be the need to have a 'remove by' date on your breakaway.

The CAM TWIST is designed to be installed between the fuel dispenser and the nozzle. To inspect the unit, two
wrenches applied to opposite ends of the breakaway with a twisting motion mechanically separates the unit.
The unique design seals the internal components before separation is complete, thus reducing any exposure to
product and any environmental impact. With the CAM TWIST Magnetic ‘snap-back technology’, alignment and
reconnection is easy. Align the two halves together and let the magnets do the work while pushing the unit back
together. It’s that easy! As a cost saving feature, Catlow has designed a replacement lower half of the breakaway.
If a lower half is lost due to drive-off, a replacement lower half can be ordered saving you money!

 CAMTWIST FACTS
CamTwist magnets do not rust or fuse together. This is due to their electrolytic nickel plating and protection from the environment. Also, by
examining the device you would see that the magnets are encased in metal, and on one side of the assembly. Thus, the fusing together of
magnets is impossible.

MAGNETS
CamTwist magnets do not lose their magnetism over time. From Permanent Magnet Selection and Design Handbook: “Most magnetic material
will encounter degradation from corrosion, heat or mechanical impact long before their magnetic properties would degrade because of time.
Magnetic field strength may have a loss rate as low as 1% per 100 years.” Current design protects against corrosion, is well below the
temperature ratings that cause magnetic degradation, and are protected from impact due to the design of the shell and cover.

CamTwist magnets are not affected by temperatures found in any part of our install base. Take, for example, the fact that even the lowest grade
of magnets (NdFeB “M”) are rated for continuous working temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). This rating covers
any situation or environment where CamTwists, which use a higher grade magnetic material, would be installed. Also, UL567 states product
needs to be rated to 52 degrees Celsius, or 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Best-in-class flow rates on 1” product Our CamTwist product is designed such that hose rotational torque is below the force required to separate the device. The patented CAM
functionality of the CamTwist does not allow for the potential of leak in this situation.

product is a thing of the past.
