The BSM Blank Nut with Chain is a practical and hygienic pipe termination fitting designed to blank off and seal open union connections in hygienic and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this blank nut delivers reliable sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and the added convenience of an integrated retaining chain, making it a dependable and user-friendly component in food processing, pharmaceutical, dairy, beverage, and other process industry piping applications.
As clearly visible in the product image, the fitting consists of two key elements. The first is a solid blank nut with a distinctly faceted or multi-sided exterior profile, providing defined flat surfaces that allow the nut to be gripped and tightened by hand or with appropriate tooling. The internally threaded bore of the blank nut engages with the corresponding male union component to create a secure and sealed pipe end closure. The second element is a retaining chain, clearly visible, attached to the blank nut in the image, which serves to tether the blank nut to the adjacent pipework or fitting when it is removed during operation or maintenance. This integrated chain prevents the blank nut from being misplaced, dropped, or lost during pipeline opening procedures, which is a particularly valuable feature in busy process and production environments where small components can easily be displaced.
The combination of a blanking function and a retaining chain makes this fitting especially practical for outlets, sampling points, or pipeline branches that are regularly opened and resealed during production or cleaning operations.
The BSM Blank Nut with Chain is available across seven sizes: 25mm, 38mm, 51mm, 63mm, 76mm, 101mm, and 152mm, ensuring full compatibility with the corresponding range of standard BSM union assemblies and pipe diameters used in hygienic and industrial piping installations.
316-grade stainless steel ensures outstanding corrosion resistance and supports effective cleaning and sterilisation in hygiene-critical process environments.
