Yes, with proper certifications
PP Compression Fittings can be used in food and pharmaceutical applications. They must meet specific safety standards. The materials must be safe for contact with food or drugs. Example: a dairy plant using certified fittings.
Food safety requirements
Food processing plants have strict hygiene requirements. Fittings must not contaminate food or water. PP Compression Fittings with NSF 61 are safe.
Pharmaceutical requirements
Pharmaceutical applications require high purity. Fittings must not leach chemicals. PP Compression Fittings must be certified.
NSF/ANSI 61 certification
This standard tests for harmful chemical leaching. Fittings must not release contaminants. PP Compression Fittings with NSF 61 are approved.
Ferrule and body materials
The ferrule is typically brass. Brass may contain small amounts of lead. Use lead-free brass for food applications. PP Compression Fittings should have lead-free ferrules.
