Lipped Spigot Allows Easy Integration to Modular Tubing Systems

The BFM fitting flexible connector system can now be quickly incorporated into modular piping systems with the release of a range of their adaptor spigots with a small flange or lip.

These new lipped spigots enable the BFM system to be installed without the need for welding as the 6mm rolled lip is compatible with most major quick-release/pull-ring type clamps.

“We’ve often had customers who use modular piping systems ask for this option as their entire process line is based on these quick-release systems,” said BFM fitting’s technical lead, Matthew Bailey. “They wanted to use BFM fittings but previously had to adapt the spigots themselves to fit with their modular process line.”

Being able to provide spigots that don’t require welding on to an existing pipe gives customers future flexibility in terms of process line layout, access for cleaning, and saves both time and money in terms of installation.

The new lipped spigot is also an option for customers who, due to the nature of their product, may use aluminum or even plastic piping in their plant.

“Because you simply can’t weld a spigot to these materials, a quick-release clamp system is the ideal solution,” said Bailey.

The lipped spigot option is available now in T304L stainless steel for diameters from 4-16 in.
