Stainless steel fittings
Product diversity & selection – stainless steel fittings for every challenge
The M+B Fluid portfolio includes an extensive range of stainless steel fittings. Classic threaded fittings such as sockets, plugs, screw connections, elbows, T-pieces and reducers are available, enabling the connection of a wide variety of components. The range is complemented by innovative systems such as press-fit connections, Tri-Clamp fittings and special milk pipe fittings for hygienic applications.
Whether in plant engineering, drinking water technology, the food industry, chemical engineering or process engineering, our stainless steel fittings made of AISI 316 (1.4408 / V4A quality) guarantee reliability even with aggressive media, salty atmospheres or permanent moisture. Thanks to carefully manufactured internal and external threads (e.g. BSP) and precise surface finishing, the connecting elements are ideal for piping systems with high safety and hygiene requirements.
Tips & advice – choosing the right stainless steel fitting solution
The choice of the optimal stainless steel fitting depends on your specific application. Screw connections and sleeves are ideal for pressure-resistant, easy-to-install and removable connections, while elbows and T-pieces support the flexible direction of pipe runs. In hygiene or food applications, Tri-Clamp or milk pipe thread fittings are used, which ensure easy cleaning without dead spaces.
Ensure compatibility with the media used and the required pressure/temperature range – AISI 316 stainless steel is recommended, especially for aggressive media such as chlorinated water, chemicals or saline solutions. Suitable sealing materials such as PTFE or FKM are available for tight connections. We would be happy to advise you on the design of tailor-made solutions, supply technical accessories and, on request, offer ready-configured sets for quick installation.

FAQ & Tips
- What are stainless steel fittings particularly suitable for?
For media with corrosion potential, in hygiene-critical or safety-relevant applications, and in cases of frequent conversion or maintenance.
- What distinguishes press fitting systems from traditional socket/screw connections?
Press fittings enable quick, permanent and tight connections without threads and are particularly popular for installing stainless steel pipes.
- How do I know which type of stainless steel I need?
V4A, i.e. AISI 316/1.4408, is recommended for general use, especially in contact with salt, chlorine, chemicals or in hygienic areas.
