FITTING ASSEMBLY HOSE BIBB/FLR AM

A bag-in-box or BIB is a container for the storage and delivery of liquids and syrups. It consists of a strong bladder (or plastic bag), usually made of several layers of film or other plastics, seated inside a corrugated cardboard box. BIBs are used used to package wine, soda fountain syrup products, milk, condiments such as ketchup or mustard, liquid chemicals, and even water. For commercial syrup applications, the customer opens one end of the box (sometimes via a pre-scored opening) and connects a compatible connector to a fitting on the bag to pump out its contents. The fitting itself contains a one-way valve which opens only with pressure from the attached connector and which prevents contamination of the syrup in the bag.

A fitting is any machine component, piping or tubing part that can attach or connect two or more larger parts. Examples are couplings, compression fittings, and piping and plumbing fittings.

A hose is a flexible hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another. Hoses are also sometimes called "pipes" (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube, whereas a hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally "tubing". The shape of a hose is usually cylindrical (having a circular cross section).
