US-FOOD-M
Stainless-Steel Metric-Thread Fittings for Food and Pharmaceutical Processing
FLEXA US-FOOD-M fittings are straight stainless-steel conduit connectors with an external Metric thread for terminating compatible flexible conduit in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical-processing installations. Their hygienic construction supports durable conduit termination in washdown areas and other environments requiring corrosion-resistant components.
US-FOOD-M fittings are designed for FLEXA LIQUID-TIGHT-FOOD and AIRflex-GRS-FOOD conduit families. When correctly matched and assembled, the fitting-and-conduit system provides high ingress protection for demanding cleaning and processing environments.
Choose the US-FOOD-M fitting by compatible food-processing conduit family, conduit size, Metric thread size, and required ingress-protection level.

How to Choose a FLEXA US-FOOD-M Fitting
Select the correct US-FOOD-M fitting by matching the following:
- Conduit family — confirm compatibility with LIQUID-TIGHT-FOOD or AIRflex-GRS-FOOD conduit.
- Conduit size — match the fitting to the conduit’s nominal size and outside diameter.
- Metric thread size — select the thread required by the enclosure, junction box, control panel, or equipment entry.
- Processing environment — confirm that the stainless-steel fitting and compatible conduit meet the cleaning, corrosion-resistance, and hygienic requirements of the application.
- Ingress protection — confirm the IP rating of the complete fitting-and-conduit assembly for the installation environment.
For general industrial installations that do not require hygienic stainless-steel construction, select the appropriate standard straight metal fitting family.
Frequently Asked Questions About US-FOOD-M Fittings
What is a FLEXA US-FOOD-M fitting?
A FLEXA US-FOOD-M fitting is a straight stainless-steel conduit connector with an external Metric thread. It is designed for compatible flexible conduit systems used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical-processing installations.
Which conduits work with US-FOOD-M fittings?
US-FOOD-M fittings are designed for FLEXA LIQUID-TIGHT-FOOD and AIRflex-GRS-FOOD conduit families. Confirm the fitting size, conduit family, and conduit diameter before selection.
Why is stainless steel used for US-FOOD-M fittings?
Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and durable performance in washdown and hygienic-processing environments. The material is well suited to installations exposed to moisture and frequent cleaning.
Are US-FOOD-M fittings suitable for washdown areas?
Yes. Correctly assembled US-FOOD-M fitting-and-conduit combinations provide high ingress protection for demanding washdown environments. Confirm the required rating and cleaning conditions for the complete installation.
What IP rating do US-FOOD-M fittings provide?
Correctly assembled US-FOOD-M fitting-and-conduit combinations provide IP68/IP69K protection. Performance depends on correct fitting selection, compatible conduit, proper assembly, and installation conditions.
How do I choose the correct Metric thread size?
Match the fitting’s external Metric thread to the enclosure or equipment entry, then confirm that the same fitting is compatible with the selected food-processing conduit and conduit diameter.
What is the difference between US-FOOD-M and standard US-M fittings?
US-FOOD-M fittings use stainless-steel hygienic construction and are designed for the LIQUID-TIGHT-FOOD and AIRflex-GRS-FOOD conduit families. Standard US-M fittings use nickel-plated brass and support a broader range of general industrial conduit families.
Need Help Selecting a FLEXA US-FOOD-M Fitting?
IBIS can help identify the correct US-FOOD-M fitting based on conduit family, conduit size, Metric thread, ingress-protection requirement, cleaning conditions, and processing environment.
