Developed specially for applications where the connector is mounted very close to a rotating or spinning equipment, the TR connector provides additional safety for production and maintenance staff.

Once installed, a BFM® TR connector is virtually impossible to remove manually.
It is, however, straightforward to remove using a TR Release Tool.
Simply insert the TR Release Tool into a both the upper and lower BFM® TR spigots.
Caution: Though the firmer TR band is a significant deterrent to manual removal, if an individual is determined enough, it may still be possible.
