Whether you want to learn how to install an entire BFM® system or learn how to snap-in a connector, you will find links to the appropriate information here. For more information on the entire BFM® fitting installation process, go to our Installation Guide page.
Helpful information for choosing a BFM® connector, displaying the limitations with sizing and additional options for connectors.
Helpful information for choosing a BFM® connector, highlighting the key benefits of our blue band connectors in specific applications.
The installation gap is the space to leave between the BFM® spigots and always needs to be slightly shorter than the connector length (CL). It's extremely important to get this right for the optimal performance of your BFM® fitting system.
The BFM® IG Calculator will help you identify the correct Installation Gap (IG) for your BFM® fitting installation.
Whether they're being used in CIP (Clean In Place) or you just want to know the best way to keep them performing at their best, maintaining your BFM® fitting connectors is easy.
BFM® fitting's patented spigot and snap-fit blue band connector system means any internal pressure just pushes the cuff of the connector harder against the walls of the spigot, creating an even tighter seal.
There is nowhere for product to leak or build-up as there are no crevices on the outside of the pipe for it to escape to.
Our Seeflex 040E connectors have been pressure tested to safely perform under constant pressures of up to 5PSI (34.5kPa, .345Bar), and explosion pressures of over 9.14PSI (63kPa, .63Bar).
The BFM® fitting works and seals perfectly in almost all negative pressure applications.
Our fittings are often used in applications where they are operating in vacuum situations, typically where the plants are drying or processing dry powdered-type products and need the equipment to be under a slight negative pressure to avoid leaking dust out of machinery.
It is important when specifying a connector for use in negative pressure situations that the amount of movement, environment, temperature and nature of the pressure are all taken into account.
Dust leaking from flexible connections during operation provide the potential for secondary explosions in certain conditions and is a very real and serious health and safety risk for any factory.
BFM® fittings are safer because there is no dust leaking into the factory environment and our popular Seeflex 040E fittings have undergone extensive testing and have been proven to contain internal explosions in excess of 60kPa.
