Approximately 824,000 OPW metal swivel connectors used on gas station pumps are being recalled because they can separate from the hose or nozzle. This defect causes fuel to spill directly onto the ground during fueling. The recall includes various 3/4 inch and 1 inch models sold between January 2013 and January 2017. OPW has received two reports of these connectors separating, although no injuries have been reported. Gas station owners should immediately remove these parts and contact OPW for a free replacement.
The swivel connectors can break apart or separate from the pump assembly, leading to large fuel spills. This creates an immediate risk of fire or explosion at the gas station.
Gas station owners should immediately stop using and remove the recalled swivel connectors and contact OPW for a free replacement. The hose and nozzle can continue to be used without the swivel connector until the replacement is installed.
