A bi-directional hose break-away assembly includes a first adapter section and a second adapter section that are operatively connected by a hose section. A first valve assembly is disposed within the first adapter section and a second valve assembly is disposed within the second adapter section. The first and second valve assemblies are operatively connected by a stem connector so that the first and second valve assemblies will close in the event a maximum tensile load is exceeded, thereby preventing spillage of liquefied chemicals.
