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.

What 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.

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.
