Sanitary Fittings are cleanable tubing connections installed in systems of process piping to ensure sterility and cleanliness. Like regular fittings, sanitary fittings connect sections of piping systems to regulate the flow of fluid, but sanitary fittings are specially designed and made to prevent the entrapment, formation, and spread of bacteria in the piping system.

Also known as hygienic piping or high purity piping, sanitary fittings are most commonly used in the biological, pharmaceutical, medical, food, and beverage, dairy, cosmetic and personal care industries. These industries require high levels of hygiene, sterility, and cleanliness.
