CONNECT PRESS ASSEMBLY 232
CONNECT PRESS ASSEMBLY 232 is a press assembly specifically developed for the BARDUC 382 hose, which is a high-temperature food-grade hose in the AIRDUC family. Press assembly means the coupling is pre-fitted and pressed-mounted from the factory - a construction that eliminates the risk of leaks and provides a coupling that behaves as an integrated system with the hose. The seal insert is specifically food-grade approved per both FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and 178.2010 (US standard) and EU's primary food-contact regulations: EU 10/2011, EC 1935/2004 and EU 2015/174. This makes it ideal for pharma vacuum conveying equipment, dosing systems and brewery installations where process validation requires documented joint integrity and bilateral compliance. 2 dimensions ID 50 and 65 mm match BARDUC 382's standard range.

Frequently asked questions
What is a press assembly?
A press assembly is a coupling that is pre-fitted and pressed-mounted on the hose from the factory. This means the coupling and hose are assembled by applying press - typically hydraulic or mechanical - to ensure a gas-and-liquid-tight joint. In contrast to screw-on solutions where mounting happens on-site, a press assembly is a permanent joint that has documented integrity from factory. This is particularly valuable in pharma and food applications where process validation requires traceable joint integrity.
What is BARDUC 382?
BARDUC 382 is producentens high-temperature food-grade hose in PUR-INOX FOOD-AS XHD construction. 'BARDUC' indicates high-pressure application, '382' is the specific product number, 'PUR-INOX FOOD-AS' indicates material configuration (polyurethane + INOX steel spiral, food-grade, anti-static), and 'XHD' stands for extra heavy-duty. The hose has a broader temperature and pressure range than standard AIRDUC FOOD variants and is typically used in pharma process loops, brewery vacuum equipment and dosing systems.
Should I order hose and coupling together?
Yes, a press assembly is always ordered with hose length and specific coupling configuration on each end. We assemble at the factory - contact us with your BARDUC 382 length and the desired coupling configuration on each end. This is particularly valuable in custom-length installations where process validation must approve the full hose system as a unit.
Can a press assembly be disassembled?
No - a press assembly is permanent. If the coupling must be disassembled for cleaning or replacement, choose a clamp-based solution or screw-on based coupling such as CONNECT 240 + 241 FOOD with separate clamp attachment instead. Press assembly is only recommended for installations where permanent joint is desired - typically pharma process loops or brewery tank pipe connections.
