Ease of implementation4
The flexible BFM fitting connects sealingly the upper and lower pipework section statically and dynamically.
The flexible fitting are composed by two stainless steel tubes and a flexible fitting. The flexible fitting design enables an easy implementation in few secondes without any tools.

BFM® Fitting: Connect upper and lower pipework section with a perfect seal statically and dynamically
Designed for installation and uninstallation with no tools in just a few seconds, this flexible BFM® Fitting ensures a perfect seal for the connection.
Equipment advantages
- Hygiene : no retention, perfect seal
- Size: perfectly adjustable
- Installation : with no tools, fool-proof system
- Pressure resistance: if an explosion occurs, the gaskets tighten. Assembly for the interior, reinforcing tightening
- Standard sizes : from 100 to 650 mm by 50 mm increments (spare part inventory optimization)
- Safety : flexible fitting change-out with no tools ; simply interlock by hand (one operator)
