Product Description

Title Line

The Quick Access Port Connector features a polyurethane thread port hole and a stainless steel screw-in plug that is inserted in the side wall of a standard BFM® Seeflex 040E or Seeflex 060ES connector.

The Quick Access Port is designed to give easy, clean access to a product flow for actions such as metal detector drop-ball testing, product sampling or adding small volumes of ingredients during manufacturing.

Application
  • Screw port provides fast and easy access to product flow without having to remove the connector.

  • Product flow is not interrupted for regular metal detector testing or product sampling.

  • Because the connector doesn’t need to be removed, there is no product spillage or wastage.

  • Does not affect the physical performance of the connector.
