Review product-contact transfer, small-bore supply and auxiliary utilities by duty.
Transferring product
Food-transfer hose
Flexible connections between ingredient or product tanks and equipment. Review wetted layers, reinforcement and end connections for the fluid and cleaning conditions.
Review: Fluid · suction/discharge pressure · temperature/CIP · hose bore and end fittings
Supplying small-bore liquid lines
Tubing and push-in fittings
Compare tubing and fittings as a combined set for water treatment, dispensing and similar small-bore liquid lines. Confirm fluid-contact suitability for each item.
Review: Tube OD and tolerance · fluid and temperature · fitting and seal materials
Connecting pneumatic or auxiliary piping
Stainless steel utility fittings
Review pneumatic and auxiliary connections exposed to cleaning environments. Identify requirements for utility duty and hygienic product-contact piping separately.
Review: Thread and tube dimensions · corrosion and cleaning agents · direct food contact

01 — PROCESS
Where does each step fit?
Define the intended use and conditions to identify the required role of each item.
01
Application and fluid
Define whether the purpose is product or ingredient transfer, water supply, or equipment pneumatics.
02
Connection selection
Evaluate hoses, tubing, fittings, and seals as an assembly, and check specifications and operating ranges.
03
Installation and verification
Check connection leakage and replacement and inspection procedures under actual cleaning and operating conditions.
02 — SELECTION
What should be selected and verified?
Suitability of the same hose or fitting can vary with the fluid it contacts and the cleaning conditions. Distinguish product-contact components from auxiliary piping using the current specifications and operating environment.

Product to review
Selection evidence
Product transfer
Hygienic transfer hose
Fluid-contact layer, reinforcement structure, inside diameter, bending, suction/discharge, and end connections
Small-bore liquid supply
Tubing + push-in fittings
Tube outside diameter and tolerances, pressure and temperature, and compatibility of the fluid and seals
Auxiliary equipment utilities
Threaded and tube connection fittings
Specification system, cleaning agents and external corrosion, gas used, and whether liquid contact occurs
Hygiene and cleaning
Suitability data for the assembly
Food-contact documentation; cleaning agent concentration, temperature, and exposure time; drainage and areas that retain fluid
Check wetted materials, connection combinations, sterilization or cleaning conditions and the actual operating envelope against item-specific evidence.
03 — OPERATING CHECKS
Confirm these points before selection.
01
Start with the current specifications
Distinguish hose inside diameter, tube outside diameter, and thread specifications, and prepare photographs and drawings of the connections.
02
Do not select by material name alone
Check contact suitability documentation and pressure and temperature ranges for each material, item, and set of operating conditions.
03
Evaluate the connections as well
Even when only replacing tubing or combining different fittings, verify the assembly's leakage resistance, pull-out resistance, and suitability for cleaning.
04 — QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Can stainless steel fittings be used in product-contact areas?
Do not decide by material alone. Check whether the internal design, seals, cleanability and drainability, contact suitability, and connection method are appropriate for the application.
Can a hose be replaced with one of the same inside diameter?
Also compare pressure and vacuum, temperature, bending, cleaning, connectors, and product-contact requirements. Replace it after verification under actual conditions.
