Built on the proven 66Rec technology platform, the OPW 68EZR-7575 is a rugged, serviceable safety device that limits spillage by automatically sealing both sides when separated, while offering a simple push-twist-click reconnection that field crews can perform quickly and reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the breakaway reduce fuel spill risk during a drive-off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen subjected to excessive pull force—up to approximately 350 pounds—the breakaway separates cleanly at a designed shear point.

For high-hanging hoses, always pair the 68EZR with a straightening hose of at least 9 inches (for example, OPW 66H) to ensure correct alignment and operation. For low-hanging applications, position the breakaway downstream of retractor cables so it separates under tension rather than being held in place by the retractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-hang installations require a minimum 9\" straightening hose (e.g., OPW 66H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-hang setups: install downstream of retractor cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow local codes and fuel-system schematics for final placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this product for?
