Frangible Couplings & Floor Flanges

Frangible Couplings & Floor Flanges

Frangible couplings are designed to break away cleanly upon impact, minimizing damage to an aircraft during an accident. Common applications include support for runway/taxiway lights, heliport flood lights, and masts. Please review your product manual to ensure you order the correct coupling. To avoid premature or catastrophic failure, frangible couplings should only be used for approved applications.

Choose between Couplings for 1″ Diameter Risers, Couplings for 2″ Diameter Risers, and Floor Flanges.
