High-Temperature Sleeve Design
The Dixon 13HS-400 is designed as the high-temperature sleeve option for compatible 4 in Tube Hex Hanger assemblies. It fits around the supported tubing within the hanger and provides separation between the tube and surrounding hanger hardware.
This replaceable sleeve arrangement allows the sleeve to be inspected separately from the hanger body during maintenance. Always verify the required tube size and compatible hanger configuration before selecting a replacement component.
325°F Temperature Rating
Dixon specifies a maximum temperature of 325°F (163°C) for its high-temperature Tube Hex Hanger Sleeves. This higher-temperature design distinguishes the 13HS series from Dixon's polypropylene sleeve alternatives.
Actual application suitability should be evaluated using the temperature, process environment, cleaning procedures, surrounding equipment, and requirements of the complete sanitary piping installation.
4 in Size Configuration
This 13HS-400 configuration is the 4 in size within Dixon's high-temperature sleeve range. The 13HS family includes multiple sizes, so the part number and nominal size should be verified carefully before ordering.
Correct sizing helps ensure that the sleeve fits the intended hanger assembly and supported tubing correctly. Do not substitute another sleeve size based only on the appearance of the hanger components.
Sanitary Tube Support Applications
The Dixon 13HS-400 is intended for use as part of a compatible sanitary Tube Hex Hanger assembly. The sleeve provides a nonmetallic contact surface around the tubing while the surrounding hanger hardware provides mechanical support.
Proper tube support can help maintain piping alignment and positioning at designated support points. Hanger compatibility, tube size, temperature requirements, support spacing, and installation conditions should all be considered before use.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Verify part number 13HS-400.
- Confirm the required 4 in size.
- Inspect the sleeve before installation.
- Confirm compatibility with the Tube Hex Hanger.
- Do not exceed the 325°F maximum temperature rating.
Our fitting specialists can help review your Dixon part number, sleeve size, Tube Hex Hanger compatibility, temperature requirements, sanitary piping application, and installation requirements before you order.
