BFM® Spigots are uniquely shaped to enable the connectors to snap-fit inside. They are available in Stainless Steel T304L and T316L , as well as C22 Hastelloy and are supplied in a range of exact diameters.
Available in Stainless Steel T304L and T316L , as well as C22 Hastelloy. They are available in a range of exact sizes, eliminating the imprecise nature of hose-clamp sleeve type connection widths and ensuring a perfect fit with the BFM® connector.
For applications where there is a possibility for static build-up, e.g. wood dust, flour, milk powder etc., we recommend using a static dissipative wire (strip), connecting the two BFM® spigots together.
Slightly tapered design to account for tube/pipe diameter variations
Available in three materials
We have Authorized Distributors who will help work through what you want to achieve and how BFM® fitting can improve your plant.
For some useful technical tips and information get you started with selecting the BFM® fitting system.
The smallest gap you can have between the BFM® spigots is 65mm (2.5") for an 80mm (3") long BFM® connector. Note that this gap may not be suitable for frequently changed connectors or for those with more than just a slight vibratory movement. Please also take some time to read the fitting instructions in the installation guides.
Because the stainless steel spigot will not directly weld to aluminium, another technique will need to be used, such as welding a flange to the spigot and then attaching by bolt or rivet to the pipe or using a Morris coupling to attach the spigot to the existing aluminium pipe.
No - all of our spigots are manufactured with the same thickness of steel - 2mm. The 100mm BFM® spigots are sized to fit standard 'dairy' tube, which is measured externally, all other BFM® spigot diameters are measured internally to accommodate nominal bore standard tube.
It is possible, however, Morris couplings need straight length equivalent to 1 1/2 times coupling length, so there would need to be enough space to fit this. You would want at least an inch of the spigot to remain to get enough clamping area.
Square-to-round transition adaptations are easily achieved. Please contact us or speak to your local distributor for help.
