Pneumatic fitting F-E

push-in90° anglebrass

These fittings are made of materials suitable for use in the food industry. They can also be used with hot and cold tap water. All brass component parts undergo a clean-lead process, which consists of removing lead from the surface layer of the fitting; the gaskets are made of special FDA-approved Viton ®. These fittings do not contain technopolymers, thereby avoiding problems of compatibility with detergents and other chemical agents. This choice of materials allows the fittings to be used up to 150°C, which makes them suitable for other high- temperature applications, in addition to the food industry. The threads are cylindrical and under-head O-rings provide a pneumatic seal. This avoids the need for sealants (e.g. Teflon®), which could release solid fragments during screwing and unscrewing that would contaminate the environment or the fluid. Our fittings can be screwed and unscrewed any number of times and still remain clean and pneumatically sealed. This choice of materials and treatments make these fittings suitable for use in the chemical, pharmaceutical, medical and electronics industry. The fittings are available in two series: Series F-E: fittings are made of brass that undergoes a surface clean-lead process, followed by a surface coating with inter-metal alloy compound; they comply with regulatory standards applicable in Europe and other world countries for use in contact with foodstuffs or drinking water. Series F-NSF: fittings are made of brass with a low-lead content (≤ 0.2%) that undergoes a further surface clean-lead process in compliance with US standards, and are certified to NSF169 standards.
