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.
A special BFM® Tool Release Tool is required to release the snap band.
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.
