Union Hex Nut Design
The Dixon 13H Union Hex Nut features an external hex profile that provides flat surfaces for engagement with an appropriately sized wrench. This configuration supports controlled assembly and disassembly when working with compatible sanitary union components.
The removable nut design can simplify inspection, cleaning, maintenance, or equipment changes where union-style connections are incorporated into the piping system. Always confirm that the mating components match the required 13H union configuration before installation.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
The 13H-G300 is manufactured from 304 stainless steel identified as CF8. Stainless steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance for compatible hygienic piping and processing applications.
Material suitability should be confirmed against the process media, cleaning chemicals, operating environment, pressure, and temperature requirements of the complete system. Inspect the nut and mating components before installation for damage or contamination.
3 in Tube OD Configuration
This 13H-G300 configuration is sized for a 3 in Tube OD union connection. The 13H family includes union hex nuts for multiple tube sizes, making it important to verify the exact size and part number required before ordering.
Correct tube sizing and mating-component selection help ensure that all parts of the sanitary union assembly correspond properly. Confirm the fitting series, tube OD, and adjoining components before installation.
Sanitary Union Applications
The Dixon 13H-G300 is intended for use as part of a compatible sanitary union assembly. Union-style connections provide a removable mechanical connection that can be useful where sections of piping or equipment require periodic inspection, cleaning, or maintenance access.
Application suitability depends on the requirements of the complete system. Pressure, temperature, process media, cleaning procedures, mating components, and applicable sanitary requirements should all be reviewed before placing the connection into service.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 3 in Tube OD size.
- Verify the required 13H union configuration.
- Check compatibility with all mating components.
- Confirm system pressure and material requirements.
- Use an appropriate wrench when tightening the hex nut.
Our fitting specialists can help review your Dixon part number, Tube OD, 13H union configuration, stainless steel material, mating components, pressure requirements, sanitary piping application, and installation requirements before you order.
