Abstract
A sanitary coupling comprising a coupler member and a nipple member. The coupler member and the nipple member have first and second passageways including first and second transverse ports and first and second longitudinal bores such that, when engaged, fluid and/or fluid and solids may flow unobstructed through the coupler and nipple members. Means for orienting the coupler member with respect to the nipple member provide alignment of said passageways of said nipple and coupler members with respect to each other for full, unobstructed flow.
