Hygienic Connections for Space-Constrained Piping
The Dixon Sanitary 14WMP Series short weld ferrules provide a reliable, leak-proof transition between butt-weld lines and tri-clamp connections. These ferrules have a compact 1/2-inch profile and are engineered specifically for high-purity environments with limited installation space. The 316L stainless steel construction prevents carbide precipitation during the welding process, ensuring the structural integrity and corrosion resistance of your joints. With a 32Ra surface finish (polished 150 grit OD/180 grit ID), these fittings minimize microbial adhesion and facilitate thorough Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) cycles.
These short-weld ferrules meet 3-A Sanitary Standards (Authorization 621) and are ideal for pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and biotech applications. They’re also increasingly selected for data center liquid cooling manifolds where compact, fail-safe connections are vital for protecting sensitive electronics.
- Material: 316L stainless steel for superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance
- Certifications: 3-A Sanitary Certified and compliant with ASME BPE specifications
- Pressure Rating: Working pressure up to 250 PSI
- Sizing: From 1/2″ up to 10″
- Applications: Dairy, brewery, bakery, cosmetic, and nutraceutical processing lines, as well as data center liquid cooling
