Single-use connection types typically refer to connectors or fittings that are designed for one-time use in the production and packaging of products in the biopharmaceutical market.  These connections are often used in situations where hygiene, safety, or reliability are critical, and they are discarded after use to prevent cross contamination and ensure product purity. Here are a few examples: 

1. Quick-disconnect fittings: Some types of quick-disconnect fittings are designed for single use applications to facilitate integration of a variety of components into a complete system platform.  Various styles and materials of construction are available to suit specific application parameters, and most have male ad female halves that engage to form a secure connection.  
2. Aseptic bioprocess connectors: These are used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing to ensure sterile process contact surfaces are maintained before, during, and after connection.  
3. Hygienic Unions (Tri-Clamp):  Used in various industries including food and verage, these connector ensure hygienic fluid transfer.  Available in both metallic and polymeric materials, as well as over-molded silicone designs, these versatile fittings are an industry standard for both multi-use and single use process connections.  

These types of connectors and fittings play crucial roles in our industries, where maintaining process integrity is paramount.   Ace Sanitary provides various attachment methods, including cable ties, stainless steel clamps, and crimp collars as appropriate for the application.  Silicone over-molding is also part of our standard offering.
