STAINLESS FITTINGS · SANITARY
Sanitary stainless fitting
A sanitary fitting provides a quick, tool-free removable connection for clean-in-place on food and pharmaceutical lines. Three standard families depending on the equipment fleet: clamp (ISO 2852), SMS 3017, DIN 32676.
Request a quoteWhat is a sanitary stainless fitting?
A sanitary fitting is a removable connection component — clamp, union nut or equivalent — designed to be opened and cleaned frequently without tools, unlike a permanent butt-weld fitting. It equips food, dairy and pharmaceutical process lines.
How to choose it?
Standard choice follows the associated polished sanitary tube: clamp ISO 2852 for an international standard, SMS 3017 in Nordic areas, DIN 32676 in Germanic Europe. The sealing gasket (food-grade elastomer) is chosen based on the process's chemical and thermal compatibility.
Available grades
316L dominates this segment, for the same cleaning-solution resistance reasons as the associated polished sanitary tube.
Applicable standards
- DIN 32676
- ISO 2852
- SMS 3017
Partner stock or mill?
Sanitary fittings follow the same partner stock / mill logic as the polished sanitary tube they connect to.
From partner stock: 48 hours for urgent needs, 5 working days as standard.
We go through the mill when volume and lead time make sense — typically container-load quantities, sometimes less, with a lead time of a few months including transport. That arbitration is ours to make: when buying at source works out cheaper for you, we say so.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the clamp fitting compatible with my DIN 11850 tube?
- The ISO 2852 clamp fitting fits most sanitary tubes regardless of their original dimensional series — to confirm based on the exact diameter.
- Do you supply gaskets with the fitting?
- No, gaskets are ordered separately.
- Are these fittings suited to pharmaceutical use?
- Yes, it is one of the two target sectors alongside food and beverage — the exact grade and finish choice depends on the process, to specify in the quote request.
- Are sanitary fittings affected by the fittings anti-dumping duty?
- No — regulation (EU) 2023/809 targets butt-welding fittings, not removable sanitary fittings.
