ULC ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 567:2024

Preface

This is the Eleventh Edition of ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 567, Standard for Emergency Breakaway Fittings, Swivel Connectors and Pipe-Connection Fittings for Petroleum Products and LP-Gas.

ULSE is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Standards Development Organization (SDO). ULC Standards is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Standards Development Organization (SDO).

This Standard has been developed in compliance with the requirements of ANSI and SCC for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization.

This ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 567 Standard is under continuous maintenance, whereby each revision is approved in compliance with the requirements of ANSI and SCC for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of four years from the date of publication, action to revise, reaffirm, or withdraw the standard shall be initiated.

In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some Canadian authorities may require additional markings and/or installation instructions to be in both official languages.

This joint American National Standard and National Standard of Canada is based on, and now supersedes, the Tenth Edition of UL 567, Fourth Edition of CAN/ULC-S634, Third Edition of CAN/ULC-S644, and ULC/ORD-C567.

Comments or proposals for revisions on any part of the Standard may be submitted at any time. Proposals should be submitted via a Proposal Request in the Collaborative Standards Development System (CSDS) at https://csds.ul.com.

Scope

1.1 This Standard sets forth minimum requirements for emergency breakaway fittings, swivel connectors and pipe-connecting fittings of the threadless compression type. Connectors and fittings covered by these requirements are intended only for the following services.

1.2 A swivel connector is either a hose swivel or swivel joint. The swivel connector will allow radial movement and is constructed for petroleum product, liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas) or anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service.

NOTE: For the purposes of this standard the terms “LP-Gas” and “Propane” are interchangeable.

1.3 An emergency breakaway fitting is used between the outlet of the dispensing device and the hose nozzle valve or lever-operated fuel transfer valve (LP-Gas Service) and separates in the event that the coupling is subjected to an excessive pull force to safeguard against abnormally excessive pull force on the hose assembly and dispenser and to prevent loss of liquid. An emergency breakaway fitting is constructed for petroleum product, liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas) or anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service. The fittings are single-break fittings or reconnectable fittings.

1.4 Products covered by this Standard are intended to be installed and used in accordance with the applicable Codes and Regulations as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as, but not limited to:

a) In the United States:

1) Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30;

2) Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Garages, NFPA 30A;

3) Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, NFPA 58; and or

4) Safety Requirements for the Storage and Handling of Anhydrous Ammonia, ANSI/CGA G-2.1 (ANSI K61.1)

b) In Canada:

1) The National Fire Code of Canada; and or

2) Provincial or other Regulations.

1.5 For Emergency Breakaway Fittings, Swivel Connectors and Pipe-Connection Fittings to be used with gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations above 10 %, refer to the Standard for Emergency Breakaway Fittings, Swivel Connectors and Pipe-Connection Fittings for Gasoline and Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol Concentrations up to 85 Percent (E0 – E85), UL 567A, for additional requirements.

1.6 For additional requirements for Emergency Breakaway Fittings, Swivel Connectors and Pipe-Connection Fittings for biodiesel fuel, diesel/biodiesel blends with nominal biodiesel concentrations up to 20 % (B20), refer to the Standard for Emergency Breakaway Fittings, Swivel Connectors and Pipe-Connection Fittings for Diesel Fuel, Biodiesel Fuel, Diesel/Biodiesel Blends with Nominal Biodiesel Concentrations up to 20 % (B20), Kerosene, and Fuel Oil, UL 567B for additional requirements.
