Description
Dixon 2" Blue EPDM Metal and X-ray Detectable Clamp Gasket - 40MP-EZ200BL
Dixon 40MP-EZ200BL Metal and X-ray Detectable Clamp Gasket is a blue EPDM sanitary gasket designed for compatible 2 in clamp connections. The gasket material is impregnated with stainless-steel particles to help the gasket or gasket fragments be identified by compatible metal-detection equipment in hygienic processing environments.
The 40MP-EZ200BL combines a standard sanitary clamp gasket configuration with detectable EPDM construction. Dixon identifies this EPDM material with two blue dots and three green dots and lists it as meeting 21 CFR 177.2600 and having passed U.S.P. Class VI Cytotoxicity testing.

Metal and X-ray Detectable Design
The Dixon 40MP-EZ200BL is specifically designed as a metal and X-ray detectable sanitary clamp gasket. Dixon manufactures these detectable gaskets with stainless-steel particles incorporated into the gasket material, allowing the gasket or separated gasket pieces to be identified with appropriate detection equipment.
This detectable construction provides an additional identification feature for processing facilities where foreign-material detection procedures are incorporated into production and quality-control programs. Detection performance ultimately depends on the equipment, system settings, fragment size, and operating conditions of the specific facility.
Blue EPDM Construction
The 40MP-EZ200BL is manufactured from blue EPDM. Dixon identifies its metal and X-ray detectable EPDM gasket material with a color code consisting of two blue dots and three green dots, helping distinguish it from other detectable gasket compounds in the hygienic fitting product range.
EPDM selection should be evaluated against the process media, cleaning chemicals, operating temperature, sanitation procedures, and other application requirements. The gasket material and service conditions should always be confirmed before installation in a sanitary processing system.
2 in Clamp Gasket Configuration
The Dixon 40MP-EZ200BL corresponds to the 2 in size in Dixon's metal and X-ray detectable clamp gasket family. It uses Dixon's Type 1 standard gasket configuration for compatible sanitary clamp fitting assemblies in the 2 in size range.
Dixon offers detectable clamp gaskets in multiple sizes, materials, and colors, making the complete part number important when ordering. Confirm the 40MP-EZ200BL part number, 2 in size, blue color, and EPDM material rather than selecting a replacement gasket based on appearance alone.
Sanitary & Hygienic Processing Applications
The Dixon 40MP-EZ200BL is intended for compatible hygienic clamp connections used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and similar processing environments. Its detectable construction can support facilities that incorporate metal or X-ray detection as part of their foreign-material control procedures.
Final suitability depends on the process media, operating conditions, cleaning procedures, clamp connection, facility requirements, and detection system being used. Inspect the gasket and mating fitting surfaces before assembly and replace any gasket showing cuts, deterioration, deformation, or excessive wear.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Verify part number 40MP-EZ200BL.
- Confirm the blue EPDM material.
- Verify the required 2 in size.
- Inspect the gasket before each installation.
- Confirm compatibility with the sanitary clamp assembly.
Our fitting specialists can help review your Dixon part number, clamp size, gasket material, color, detectable construction, process conditions, and sanitary fitting requirements before you order.
