What are Hygienic High Head Mushroom Knobs Internal Thread with USIT® Seal & Shim Washer?
Hygienic High Head Mushroom Knobs with USIT® Seal & Shim Washers are complete, pre-configured sanitary fastening assemblies engineered for high-precision manual tightening, pulling, and positioning. Supplied as an all-in-one system, this female-threaded knob comes bundled with a dedicated Hygienic USIT® seal and matching stainless steel shim washer, allowing it to mount flawlessly onto existing threaded equipment studs.
The integrated under-head collar is engineered to seat perfectly against the USIT® elastomer ring. When tightened, the assembly creates an airtight, cavity-free seal that prevents product residue build-up, completely isolates the internal thread from fluid ingress, and meets strict contamination control regulations on washdown machinery.
Key Features
All-In-One Hygienic System: Supplied complete with a genuine Hygienic USIT® Seal & Shim Washer for immediate, liquid-tight installation.
Dead-Space Free Sealing: The specialised collar compresses the elastomer seal ring flush against the panel, eliminating dead spaces, micro-crevices, and bacterial growth zones.
Ultra-Smooth Surface Profile: High-gloss polished finish with a surface roughness average significantly below Ra 0.8 µm, preventing dirt, process fluids, and harsh chemical sanitizers from adhering.
Premium 316 Stainless Steel: Built from marine-grade 316 Stainless Steel (1.4404 / A4) to withstand aggressive high-pressure steam cleaning and chemical washdowns without pitting.
Debris-Resistant Geometry: Contoured head geometry features generous radii and smooth, gradual transitions, ensuring easy cleaning regardless of mounting orientation.
