The BFM® fitting is a revolutionary, snap-in, flexible connector and spigot
that eliminates problems associated with traditional hose clamp connections.

BFM®s patented connectors provide superior performance:

  • 100% sealed, no mess, no leaks
  • Seals tighter under pressure
  • No product build-up means better hygiene
  • No tools required for fitting
  • Snap-in design makes installation easy
  • Standardised connector sizes mean you need to keep less stock

 

What sizes do they come in?


BFM® spigots and connectors are available in a variety of diameters in 50mm (2") increments, from 100mm (4") up to 1,650mm (65").
 

Most of our connectors are available in lengths starting at 80mm (3"), then in 50mm (2") increments from 100mm (4") up to 6 metres (19ft 8").
(Note: for larger diameters from 700mm (27.5") upwards, certain length restrictions apply).
