SMS Sanitary Union Type B

SMS Sanitary Union Type B is designed for removable sanitary pipe and equipment connections in sanitary stainless steel process systems. It supports union connection and B2B hygienic piping projects for food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical and clean manufacturing applications.

Where This Sanitary Fitting Fits

SMS Sanitary Union Type B is suitable for hygienic process piping where buyers need cleanable product contact surfaces, accurate pipe-standard matching and reliable integration with stainless steel sanitary equipment. It is commonly specified for plant upgrades, OEM skids, food and beverage lines, dairy systems and pharmaceutical clean-process installations.

Key Difference from a Standard Pipe Fitting

This product is different from a general industrial pipe fitting because it is selected for union structure that allows disassembly for inspection, maintenance and cleaning. For B2B procurement, the buyer should confirm tube size, material grade, surface finish, connection standard and cleaning requirements instead of selecting only by nominal size.

Connection and Piping Compatibility

Union connections are selected where the fitting or equipment connection must be removed for maintenance or inspection. The fitting should match the plant pipe standard and maintenance practice so the line can be installed, inspected and cleaned without compatibility problems.

Typical Applications

• equipment connections
• serviceable process points
• filter or pump connections
• maintenance-friendly pipework
