Brass Push-to-Connect Fittings for Food, Beverage, and Dairy
- Temperature Range: 5° to 370° F
- Tubing: Use with FEP, Nylon, Polyethylene, or PTFE Plastic
- Specifications Met:
Brass Fittings: NSF/ANSI 169, EC Regulation 1935/2004, DM 174/2004
Nickel-Plated Brass Fittings: NSF/ANSI 169
Made of brass, these fittings withstand frequent washdowns in food-processing applications. They also adhere to NSF/ANSI safety standards, so they’re safe to use with food, beverages, and dairy. Also known as instant fittings, they connect to plastic tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. To disconnect them, push the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting.
Unplated brass fittings meet European Union standards for food safety and Italian standards for drinking water.
