Snap'n Safe Breakaway Devices

Ideal for airport and airfield perimeter fencing installation.

• The SNAP’n SAFE breakaway devices are approved by the FAA as a 'frangible connection' as stated in the Advisory Circular 150/5220-23.
• The frangibility connection performance has been tested and approved by the FHWA.
• The breakaway devices provide a valuable and economical solution for posts or poles needing frangible support structures.
• Ground mount SNAP'n SAFE units work especially well in perimeter fencing applications.
• Surface Mount SNAP'n SAFE units provide a frangible connection when mounting directly to concrete.
minimizing disruptions to airfield operations and reducing crew exposure in active zones. 
• Allows reuse of existing sign and anchor posts, saving time, labor, and material costs—critical for large airport campuses with extensive signage. 
• Eliminates concrete boring with available surface‑mount designs, supporting quick deployment in paved areas such as ramps, taxiway edges, and service roads.
• Reduces risk of vehicle damage by ensuring the post breaks away rather than penetrating windshields or equipment in the event of impact.
