RJT Hex Nut

RJT nuts are a key component of the Ring Joint Type (RJT) union, widely used in hygienic process systems across the UK, especially in the dairy, brewing, and food processing industries.


Design & Material

  • Hexagonal profile: Allows easy tightening with standard RJT spanners
  • Material: Typically made from 304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength
  • Threaded interior: Designed to engage securely with the RJT male part, compressing the joint ring to form a hygienic seal

Hygienic Function

  • Facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, ideal for systems requiring frequent cleaning or inspection
  • Works in tandem with a pressed liner, male part, and “O” type joint ring to ensure a leak-proof, sanitary connection

Compatibility

  • Standard across UK hygienic fittings
  • Available in various sizes to suit tube diameters from 1″ to 4″ OD
