Find the Right BFM® fitting for Your Process
Whether you are managing heat, pressure, vacuum, static, cleaning, or a difficult material, the right flexible connection helps keep your line running cleanly and reliably.
Built for the Demands of Your Line
CIP
Make cleaning and changeovers easier with a BFM® fitting that removes by hand, without clamps or tools.
Electrostatic
Reduce static buildup in powder handling with Seeflex 040AS, a BFM® fitting material made for static-sensitive environments.
Explosion Containment
Help keep dust contained at connection points when combustible-dust risks are part of your process.
High Temperature
Choose Teflex for high-heat applications that need more than a standard flexible connector material.
Inspection
Open, inspect, and reseal connections quickly when your process requires regular access.
Outdoor
Choose a BFM® fitting material that can handle the demands of an outdoor connection.
Pressure
Maintain a secure, repeatable seal where pressure can expose weaknesses in clamp-style connections.
Vacuum
Select the right BFM® fitting material, size, and configuration to keep vacuum connections sealed.
Venting
Let hoppers and silos vent with the FM1 Breather Bag while helping keep dust inside your process.
Viscosity
Match your BFM® fitting material to sticky, abrasive, or difficult-flowing products.

Yes. BFM® fittings create a 100% seal at every connection point, so dust stays contained instead of building up and igniting. That containment is why processors handling combustible powders rely on BFM® fittings to reduce explosion risk at the connection.
Yes. BFM® fittings are built to meet USDA-compliant, GMP, and 3-A standards, depending on your industry, so they hold up in food, pharmaceutical, and other regulated processing environments. Talk to an expert about which certification applies to your line.
Inspection frequency depends on your process — heat, abrasion, and cycle count all shorten service life. As a general practice, check BLUEBAND™ flexible connectors at routine changeovers and replace at the first sign of wear, deformation, or reduced seal integrity to avoid unplanned downtime.
PSI can recommend a BFM® fitting more accurately when you share your equipment type, connection size, material, and operating requirements; photos and a brief description of the issue can also help.
