Dry disconnect couplings
Reliable & fast
Since the earliest days of our company we have represented TODO full-bore bayonet dry disconnect couplings. They are used in petrochemicals, chemicals and other areas where liquids have to be transferred safely and dry. The TODO brand name is firmly established in the market: when people speak of TODO, they mean the type of dry disconnect coupling originally developed by Avery Hardoll.
Our product range includes 4″ dry disconnect couplings to the API RP1004 standard from the manufacturer SILEA for bottom loading in the petrochemical industry. For many years our 4″ API dry disconnect couplings have proven themselves at numerous refineries and tank farms, for example: TotalEnergies Marketing Deutschland GmbH, TotalEnergies Raffinerie Mitteldeutschland GmbH, HOLBORN Europa Raffinerie GmbH, Westfalen AG, TanQuid GmbH & Co. KG and many further tank farms.
ISO45 aircraft refuelling couplings from the manufacturer Parker Meggitt form another key part of our range. They comprise couplings of the Avery Hardoll and Whittaker Controls brands as well as the F145 single point underwing pressure refuelling coupling, developed in-house. The F145-3 type is the very latest addition.
TODO
TODO was originally founded in Töreboda, Sweden and initially manufactured ball valves. But it was the pioneering TODO-MATIC dry-break coupling that would bring the company international recognition – a product that is now used throughout the world across industry.
TODO was acquired by Gardner Denver in 2006 and its headquarters was relocated to Margate in 2012. This premises features a large manufacturing facility and is shared with TODO’s fellow Ingersoll Rand Transport Solutions (IRTS) strategic brand EMCO Wheaton.
The company’s leadership has changed throughout the years but its core approach has remained the same: to provide customers with the highest-quality, precision engineered products available on the market. Commitment to innovation has seen TODO’s market share grow consistently and most customers now recognise its range as the best for handling different fluids and gases.
Product highlights
-
TODO-MATIC drybreak couplings
Dry-break coupling available in 1-6” sizes. Ideal for handling oil, gas and petrochemicals. Minimal residual loss and virtually zero spillage.
-
TODO-45 refueling couplings
The ISO 45 compliant TODO-45 coupling offers real savings as well as improved safety features for organisations working in the aviation sector.
-
NGX BreakAway coupling
TODO's NGX Breakaway Coupling is engineered to prevent spillages and protect equipment from damage in the event of an unanticipated disconnection during loading or unloading processes.
-
Ball valves
TODO ball valves are ideal for applications that involve regular compartment switching and can also be used for fixed plant and mobile refueling. An innovative sandwich design ensures quick valve changeovers and minimal leakage.
-
Fueling valves
The TODO fueling nozzle is designed to withstand pressure generated during high-volume transfer of a medium.
Silea
Silea was born in 1968, sensing the future development of the oil sector, both in the distribution and in the transfer of products.
Located in the district of Bologna, in Ozzano dell'Emilia, over the years, the company specialized in the transfer of hydrocarbons, producing loading and unloading arms, floating suctions, pumps, folding stairs for tank trucks, etc.
Today, thanks to over 50 years of experience, Silea has also expanded and developed its market in other sectors, such as food, chemical and bitumen; obviously, without losing sight of the most historic Oil & Gas sector, within which Silea remains a point of reference, for the quality of the products and the historicity of the brand.
Product highlights
-
4″ API dry disconnect coupling with pressure control valve
The Silea API Female Manual Coupler Series 05134101 is designed to achieve a quick and dry coupling, between a Bottom Loading Arm or a hose and the Male Coupler on a tank truck. The Coupler respects the API RP 1004 standards and can be combined with the 3050 check valve to prevent product being drawn off at calibrated loading points.
-
Floating tank suction units
The floating suctions are used in tanks, above ground or underground, and allow the suction of the clean product near the surface, without the sediments that are normally found on the bottom of the tanks. Suitable for use with Jet A1 Fuel, as no yellow metals are used in the production of its components.
-
Positive displacement sliding vane pumps
The positive displacement rotary vane pump allows you to suck up the product and, by adjusting the by-pass valve, determine the delivery pressure. This kind of pump is suitable for fuels, AdBlue, kerosene, solvents, oils and industrial liquids.
-
Top loading arms
The top loading arm is an articulated piping supported by a mechanical balancing (torsion or compression spring) or pneumatic system, which is used to transfer fuels or industrial liquids in tankers and railway tanks through the top manholes. Each loading arm is supplied with certificates and declarations of conformity to the ATEX, PED, Machinery directives (if applied).
-
Bottom loading arms & bottom unloading arms
The bottom loading arms are used to load/unload tank trucks and railway tankers for fuels and industrial liquids. This transfer system offers the advantage of operating directly on the ground instead of getting on the tank and thus avoids the formation of electrostatic charges generated.

They combine the capabilities of two companies - formerly known as Avery-Hardoll and Whittaker Controls.
Product highlights
-
NEW F145-3 underwing pressure refueling coupling
The F145-3 single point nozzle (ISO45) is smaller and lighter in weight, yet maintains the strength, durability and robust design characteristics of the F116/F117 and HU3000/HU4000 series nozzles. It provides a positive leak-tight connection to the aircraft adapter during fueling operations and accepts all the same accessories as both the F116 and F117 nozzles. Designed and tested to SAE specification AS5877 Rev B.
-
ISO45 refueling couplings & adapters
ISO45 underwing refueling couplings formerly known as Avery Hardoll (HUMY3000/HUMY4000) and Whittaker Controls (F116/F117), together with ISO45 aviation adapters of the FCMY107/FCMY108 and F417–F445 series.
