In certain industries—think food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceuticals—clean and sterile environments are an absolute necessity for any type of production, as so many issues can result if a piping system or sanitary connection isn’t up to standard. Health risks, product spoilage, and running afoul of regulatory requirements are the foremost concerns, but they aren’t the only ones; durability and performance matter, too.
At Eagle Fittings, we offer top-notch solutions that meet a wide variety of sanitary fitting and tubing needs. Now, let’s dive into what sanitary fittings are, the different types available, and their key characteristics.
What Are Sanitary Fittings?
Sanitary fittings are specialized components designed to ensure hygiene and cleanliness in piping systems. Unlike regular fittings, these are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, typically AISI 304 or 316L, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability. These fittings are essential in preventing contamination, maintaining product integrity, and ensuring compliance with stringent hygiene standards.
Why Choose Eagle Fittings?
Using premium stainless steel alloys, our sanitary tube fittings and sanitary piping complies with some of the most stringent industry standards (ASME BPE, FDA, and CE), which is why we are trusted by our customers in the food and beverage and bio pharmaceutical industries.
Preventing bacterial growth and ensuring easy cleaning is crucial in maintaining high hygiene standards. Our fittings feature smooth, polished surfaces that promote maximum hygiene and ease of maintenance. These surfaces are meticulously finished to industry-leading standards, typically Ra 16-32µin, ensuring sterility and optimal cleanliness. This high level of surface finish minimizes crevices where bacteria could harbor, making our fittings ideal for environments that demand rigorous sanitation.
At Eagle Fittings, our sanitary fittings are crafted from top-tier stainless steel, including AISI 304 and 316L, renowned for their superior corrosion resistance and strength. These robust materials are complemented by FDA-approved gaskets and seals made from EPDM, Silicone, Viton (FPM), and PTFE (Teflon). This combination guarantees compliance with industry standards, providing excellent resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures. By using these high-quality materials, we ensure that our fittings not only meet but exceed the stringent industry requirements.
