Note:

Hygienic connection adapters may only be screwed on once. The tightening torque for 

the connection adapter should be at least 15 Nm and no more than 25 Nm. Repeat-

ed opening can damage the gasket and therefore impair the hygienic properties. The 

available adapters for hygienic applications are suitable for the LFP basic device with 

threaded G ¾ A connection. Process connection gaskets are to be provided by the 

customer.
If a leakage is detected at the leakage indication port of the hygienic adapter, the 

process must be stopped immediately and the sensor must be replaced by new, intact 

sensor.

An overview of EHEDG-compliant seals can be found in the EHEDG Position Paper:
