Sanitary fittings are designed and constructed for use in food, beverage, medical, pharmaceutical, and biological applications where cleanliness and sterility are required. These types of fittings are constructed of materials that ensure a sterile environment and maintain sterility during use. Sanitary fittings work by limiting potential entrapment areas where bacteria could accumulate. Moreover, these types of fittings are designed to be highly corrosion-resistant, thereby eliminating another source of potential health hazards.
