Made from high-quality 316 stainless steel, this female socket fitting complies with DIN standards and guarantees a safe and hygienic connection for your most demanding installations.

Applications and sectors of use

This food grade fitting finds its place in numerous professional sectors where hygiene and sanitary quality are paramount. The food processing industry uses it for transferring food liquids, fruit juices, syrups and culinary preparations. Craft and industrial breweries adopt it for their beer, wort and cleaning solution circuits. In the wine sector, it ensures hygienic transfer of wines, grape juice and oenological products.

The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries appreciate its compatibility with sensitive products, while drinking water treatment facilities benefit from its corrosion resistance. Analysis laboratories and dairy production units rely on its reliability to maintain the integrity of their samples and products.

Technical specifications and materials

316 stainless steel constitutes the material of choice for this fitting, offering exceptional corrosion resistance, even in the presence of organic acids, chlorides and aggressive environments. Its molybdenum-enriched composition gives it superior anticorrosive properties compared to standard 304 stainless steel. The DIN standard guarantees compatibility with all European piping elements.

The female design with socket allows a secure connection by fitting and tightening, avoiding leaks and ensuring optimal sealing. The mirror polished surface facilitates cleaning and prevents bacterial adhesion. Precise dimensional tolerances guarantee perfect assembly with pipes and other system fittings.

Installation and implementation

Installing this food grade fitting requires some precautions to optimize its performance. Before mounting, check the cleanliness of contact surfaces and remove any machining residue. Use suitable stainless steel tools to avoid contamination by ferric particles. Tightening must be progressive and uniform to preserve sealing.

For maintenance, perform regular cleaning with approved food detergents, followed by thorough rinsing with clear water. Chlorinated solutions can be used for disinfection, but must be carefully rinsed. Avoid abrasive products that could alter the surface condition. Periodic disassembly allows complete cleaning and inspection of sealing gaskets.

Expert advice and optimization

To maximize the service life of your installation, combine this fitting with 316 stainless steel pipes or compatible materials such as food grade PTFE. Avoid mixing metals that could cause galvanic corrosion. EPDM or food grade silicone gaskets effectively complement this fitting for perfect sealing.

In environments with variable temperatures, provide expansion compensators to absorb thermal stresses. For CIP (clean-in-place) applications, this fitting perfectly withstands automated cleaning cycles with alkaline and acid solutions. Store fittings in a dry and clean environment, protected from contamination. Remember to simultaneously order the stainless steel clamps and suitable gaskets available at Multitanks.
