316 Stainless Steel Equal Socket BSP

316 Stainless Steel BSP Equal Socket designed for hygienic, corrosion-resistant plumbing connections in food & beverage processing, marine environments and other corrosive industrial applications. Manufactured from premium 316 stainless steel for long service life and leak-free performance.

What This Fitting Does

An equal socket is used to join two male BSP-threaded components of the same size. It provides a secure, female-to-female coupling for extending pipe runs, connecting washdown equipment or adapting threaded fittings inline.

Why Choose an Equal Socket?

• Creates a strong female-to-female connection for joining male BSP fittings.
• Full-depth threading provides excellent sealing and pressure integrity.
• Ideal for extending or modifying pipework without complex adapters.
• Uniform bore maintains flow efficiency and reduces turbulence.

Material Advantages - 316 Stainless Steel

• Exceptional corrosion resistance to chemicals, cleaning agents and saltwater.
• Fully suitable for breweries, wineries, dairies, distilleries and food-processing systems.
• Perfect for marine and high-corrosion environments.
• Maintains integrity under heat, pressure and repeated sanitation cycles.

Common Applications

• Washdown systems and hot/cold water plumbing
• Pump, valve and equipment installations
• Food & beverage transfer lines
• Marine and chemical-transfer systems

Each equal socket is precision-machined from solid 316 stainless steel, ensuring dependable, hygienic connections for demanding sanitary and corrosive applications.

To ensure maximum service life and safe performance of your equipment, please follow these general care guidelines:

• Clean after use – Rinse or CIP components to remove product, residue or cleaning chemicals.
• Avoid kinks, crushing or sharp bends – Protect hoses and assemblies from mechanical damage.
• Store correctly – Hang hoses or reels where possible; keep fittings and clamps dry and off the floor.
• Inspect regularly – Check for wear, abrasion, loose clamps, damaged gaskets or compromised seals.
• Use compatible cleaning chemicals – Follow manufacturer guidelines for caustic, acid or sanitiser exposure.
• Protect from high heat / UV – Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, heaters or hot surfaces unless rated for it.
• Depressurise before disconnecting – Always release system pressure before removing hoses or fittings.
• Replace worn components promptly – Gaskets, clamps, seals and hose ends should be renewed as needed.
  

Proper routine care extends lifespan, improves hygiene and ensures safe, reliable operation across all brewery, winery, distillery and food-processing environments.
