How it works
The Patented BFM™ fitting is comprised of two elements - the standardised BFM™ Spigot and a suitable flexible connector. This tank fitting system solves many of the problems experienced with a standard hose-clamped flexible connector.

BFM™ tank fittings offer a wide range of benefits over hose-clamped connectors. Some of these are outlined below:

|
Hygiene
|
Product building up between the flexible connector and the sidewall of the spigot
|
No crevices for product to get caught in. |
|
Sizing
|
From inaccuracies in measuring onsite through to production, it can be very difficult to get a perfect fit of a hose clamped connector. |
PERFECT fit every time |
|
Fitting
|
Both the speed and accuracy of fitting hose clamps can vary widely and often clamps are not fitted correctly. |
Can only fit in exactly the correct place, i.e. in or out. |
|
Explosion
|
In an overpressure situation hose clamps are normally always the weakest link and give up or let go long before the flexible connector would be due to rupture. |
Only seals tighter under high pressures. |
|
Standard Sizes
|
Current flexible connectors are made any size whatsoever, hence there are thousands of different sizes. |
Set standard sizes in 50mm increments helps standardise stock holdings of spare parts. |
|
Health & Safety
|
When using screwdrivers to tighten up hoseclips, damage is common to the flexible connector and even the installers hands. |
Tool free connector changing, simply snap in with your hands. |
