Break-Out
Firsts
- Fasteners and bolt torque play no role
in breakaway feature.
- Breaks away with a set amount of
force from any angle of incidence (360º), irrespective of speed
of impact.
- The coupler shears flush with the
surface and plugs the opening without leaving shards of metal to reduce
trip-fall accidents.
- The Anchor base is undamaged even
if the Break-Out is directly impacted by a vehicle wheel, undercarriage
or mower/plow blade.
- Made of ductile material, and incorporating
a patented tri-circular shear section (directly related to the actual
post strength) Break-Out will elongate (bend) up to 12% ensuring high
wind load capability.
- No special tools (torque wrenches)
are required for installation, just a ratchet and a pair of pliers.
- Wedge-Lock® feature securely
and quickly attaches to the anchor.
- Utilizes existing tamper proof
or standard fasteners.
- After impact the sign can be repaired
in less than 5 minutes by removing the wedge from the anchor and inserting
a new coupler.
- Simple with 3 components, you can
say goodbye to complicated slip bases, straps, bars, breakable bolts
and splices.
- The Break-Out system makes it easy
to change post types without a new anchor installation. To use a square
or round post in lieu of a U-Channel simply insert the correct Break-Out
in the existing anchor and attach the corresponding top post.
