Face Seal Fittings
For Applications in Biotechnology
and Pharmaceutics
The B Type VCO fitting uses an L-ring seal
that eliminates concavity at the bore. This feature
reduces the potential for media entrapment. The
L-ring seal should be used only with the B Type
VCO body.
Applications include steam cleaning lines, sampling,
research and development, and process feed lines.
