Can Steam hose end with GW, AISI 316 stainless steel GF BOSS be safely used at 18 bar and up to +210Â°C with BOSS SBC clamps (except 2â 4-claw clamps)?

Yes. Steam hose end with GW, AISI 316 stainless steel GF BOSS Format can be safely used at 18 bar and up to +210Â°C with BOSS SBC clamps, except for the 2â 4-claw BOSS SBC steam clamps. The fitting is specifically designed for steam service: three-part AISI 316 stainless construction (spherical end GB with ribbed spigot, wing nut B with internal NPS thread, and GFB adapter with matching external NPS thread and conical polymer or copper insert) creates a steam-tight, high-temperature joint that is easy to assemble/disassemble using the wing nut. Rated working pressure is 18 bar at +210Â°C (saturated steam) and operating temperature up to +230Â°C. Do not use 2â fittings with BOSS SBC 4-claw clamps due to the reduced lock flange design.

Can Steam hose end with GW, AISI 316 stainless steel GF BOSS be used with BOSS SBC 2â 4-claw clamps?

No. Steam hose end with GW, AISI 316 stainless steel GF BOSS Format should not be used with BOSS SBC 2â 4-claw clamps. The 2â fitting has a reduced lock (flange) design, and the manufacturer states BOSS SBC 2â steam clamps with 4 claws are not suitable. Use the specified BOSS SBC type steam clamps compatible with the GF BOSS 2â design to ensure a steam-tight, high-temperature connection.

Can Steam hose end with GW, AISI 316 stainless steel GF BOSS be disassembled and reassembled by hand using the wing nut at high temperature?

Yes. the Steam hose end with GW, AISI 316 stainless steel GF BOSS can be disassembled and reassembled by hand using the wing nut at high temperature. The fitting is a three-part design (spherical GB end with ribbed tail, wing nut B with special internal thread, and adapter GFB with matching external thread and conical polymer or copper insert) specifically engineered to form a tight, steam-resistant highâtemperature connection while allowing tool-free assembly and disassembly using the wing nut. Materials and ratings (AISI 316, up to 18 bar at +210Â°C, operating up to +230Â°C) support steam service at elevated temperatures. Note: do not use BOSS SBC 2â steam clamps with 4 claws on the 2â fitting due to its reduced lock (flange) design.

Additional information

Material	SS – stainless steel
Standard length [m]	50

Internal thread BSP and NPT fittings for rubber hoses for steam, with a ribbed tail for the hose, with a lock – for installation in the hose using BOSS SBC type steam clamps. The complete fitting consists of three parts – a spherical end GB with a spigot (“tail”) for the hose, a wing nut B with a special internal thread (NPS), and a special adapter GFB with an external thread (NPS) matching the nut and an internal thread of the same size as the fitting. The GFB adapter has a conical polymer or copper insert, working with the spherical end. This creates a tight, steam-resistant, and high-temperature connection that is also easy to unscrew and screw without the use of special tools, using the wing nut. Due to the reduced design of the lock (flange) of the 2” fitting, BOSS SBC 2” steam clamps with 4 claws should not be used. Material: stainless steel AISI 316. Working pressure: 18 bar (+210°C) – saturated steam. Operating temperature: up to +230°C.
