A hygienic plain end hosetail (also known as a sanitary hose barb) is a fitting used to connect a flexible hose to a rigid pipe system, featuring a plain, unwelded end that can be welded directly into a specific application or end-connection. They are crucial in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing industries where product integrity is paramount.
Key Features and Specifications
These fittings are designed to be smooth and crevice-free to prevent the accumulation of bacteria or product residue.
Material: Typically made from high-grade stainless steel, with AISI 316 (or 316L) being a common choice for its superior corrosion resistance.
Design: Features a barbed tail (hosetail) for secure insertion into a flexible hose and a plain end that can be welded into a specific system component or a standard hygienic fitting like a ferrule or male part.
Surface Finish: The internal surface is processed to be smooth and clean, often with internal weld beads removed or rolled flat, to ensure optimal hygiene and efficient cleaning (CIP/SIP).
Standards: Generally manufactured to comply with hygienic standards such as BS 4825.
