Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings
The series of Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings constitutes a large range of stainless steel compression fittings, welding fittings, solder and push on fittings, pipes and pipe fittings (pipe clamps) and installation tools (saws, deburring, bending devices).
The system is at home in the area of private water supply, industry and shipbuilding. Whether drinking water and sanitary systems, heating and air conditioning systems, hydraulic cooling, fire protection or compressed air systems, the compounds have opened up a wide field of applications.
The press fittings are available with various connection types such as Female / male thread, flange or push in. Various O-ring materials (eg EPDM, NBR, FKM, HNBR) means connections are suitable for media such as water, oil, gas, etc.
Wide range of accessories such as crimping tools, crimping pliers (M-profile) and pipe cutting machines complete the range of Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings.
What are the advantages of using Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings in fluid systems?
Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings offer several advantages, including resistance to corrosion, high strength, and the ability to maintain the integrity of the fluid being transported. These fittings are essential in applications where hygiene is crucial, such as in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. Their smooth surface finish helps prevent bacterial growth and makes them easy to clean.
How do you properly install Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings?
To install Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings, ensure that both the pipe and fitting are clean. Cut the pipe to the desired length, deburr the edges, and insert it into the fitting. Tighten the compression nut by hand, then use a wrench for a final turn, ensuring not to overtighten, which could damage the fitting. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific torque settings.
Can Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings be used in high-pressure applications?
Yes, Sanitary Stainless Compression fittings can be used in high-pressure applications as long as they are rated for the specific pressure conditions. It is important to select the right size and type of fitting for your application, as well as ensuring the system is designed to handle the required pressure levels to prevent leaks or failures.
