ABSTRACT:
A breakaway assembly for use in combination with a fuel dispenser apparatus is disposed between a segment of the hose attached to a fuel dispenser unit and a second segment of the hose terminating in a nozzle. The breakaway assembly has body portions with a first, assembled condition and a second condition in which the body portions are separated. A fuel valve located in each of the body portion permits flow of fuel when the body parts are assembled and prevents flow upon separation. An element securing the body portions together releases engagement upon application of tension force to the hose, across the breakaway assembly, above a maximum level. In a preferred embodiment, the hose is coaxial and a vapor valve is also disposed within the breakaway assembly.
