    Vibration-Resistant Food and Beverage Pressure Gauges

    A glycerin-filled dial reduces needle flutter for precise readings in high-vibration food-processing applications. Gauges are 3-A certified for sanitary design in dairy and other food-processing environments. Use them with pumps, filters, regulators, and in process lines to measure and display pressures.

    Pressure-Regulating Valves with Push-to-Connect Fittings for Food and Beverage

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pressure-Regulating Valves. Pressure-Regulating Valves with Push-to-Connect Fittings for Food and Beverage.
    Insert plastic or soft metal tubing into the push-to-connect fittings on these valves for a low-pressure seal in food and beverage lines. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range. They have two gauge ports.

    Sanitary Gauge Guards

    Keeping corrosive substances from touching pressure gauges used in food-processing and pharmaceutical plants, these guards have a sanitary design. Made of 316 stainless steel, they won’t rust from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. They have continuously-welded seams and polished surfaces, so there aren’t any pits for bacteria to grow in. Removing them for cleaning and maintenance is easy thanks to their quick-clamp connection, which is sometimes called a tri-clamp.
    Also known as isolators and diaphragm seals, these guards have a 316 stainless steel gasket to shield the pressure gauges from corrosion. Before use, fill the guards with fluid such as glycerin or silicone that’s suitable for food contact.

    Pressure-Regulating Valves with Compression Fittings for Food and Beverage

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pressure-Regulating Valves. Pressure-Regulating Valves with Compression Fittings for Food and Beverage.
    Compression fittings bite down on hard metal and plastic tubing for a tighter seal than push-to-connect fittings. These valves automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range. The Buna-N/stainless steel diaphragm and EPDM seal are FDA compliant 21 CFR 177.2600.
