Description
B7MP-G400 Clamp Tee - 4" 304 Stainless Steel
Dixon B7MP-G400 is a 4" sanitary clamp tee manufactured from 304 stainless steel for hygienic and process piping applications.
Part of Dixon's B7MP Clamp Tee family, this fitting provides three 4" sanitary clamp connections in an equal-size tee configuration. It creates a 90-degree branch from a 4" main process line while maintaining removable clamp-style connections for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and equipment service.

Clamp Tee Configuration
The B7MP-G400 uses a standard equal-size sanitary tee configuration with three 4" clamp connections. Both ends of the straight run and the 90-degree branch use the same 4" tube O.D. size.
This fitting allows a 4" branch line to connect perpendicular to a 4" main run without reducing the branch size.
All three ports use sanitary clamp-style ends, allowing the fitting to be assembled with compatible mating components, gaskets, and clamps and removed when cleaning, inspection, maintenance, or system modification is required.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
The B7MP-G400 is manufactured from 304 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant stainless steel grade widely used in hygienic and sanitary process piping systems.
304 stainless steel is commonly selected for compatible food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and industrial process applications where cleanability, durability, and stainless steel construction are important.
Material suitability should always be confirmed for the actual process fluid, concentration, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedures, and surrounding environment.
Sanitary Clamp Connections
4" Main Run
- Two 4" sanitary clamp connections
- Straight-through process flow path
- Maintains 4" tube O.D. through the run
- Removable clamp-style connections
- Designed for compatible sanitary tubing systems
4" Branch
- One 4" sanitary clamp branch connection
- 90-degree branch from the main run
- Same tube O.D. as the straight run
- No size reduction at the branch
- Suitable for equal-size process-line branching
Published Dimensions
| Tube O.D. | 4" |
|---|---|
| Current Catalog Dimension A | 4.50" |
| Older Published Overall Run | 9.000" |
| Older Center-to-End Dimension | 4.500" |
Dixon's current hygienic fittings catalog lists the 4" B7MP clamp tee with dimension A of 4.50". Earlier Dixon sanitary literature presents the horizontal run as 9.000" overall, corresponding to 4.500" from the tee centerline to either end.
For fabrication, piping layout, equipment clearance, or installations where exact dimensional fit is critical, verify dimensions against the latest applicable Dixon drawing before installation.

Equal Tee vs. Reducing Tee
B7MP Equal Tee
The B7MP-G400 uses the same 4" tube O.D. size on both ends of the straight run and on the branch. It is intended where the branch line remains the same size as the main process line.
Reducing Tee
A reducing tee uses a smaller branch connection than the main run. If the branch line needs to transition to a smaller tube O.D., select a compatible sanitary reducing tee designed for the required run and branch sizes.
3-A Sanitary Information
Dixon's hygienic fittings catalog places the B7MP Clamp Tee family under 3-A Sanitary Standard 63-04 and authorization number 621.
Application-specific sanitary, regulatory, certification, documentation, installation, and inspection requirements should still be confirmed for the complete process system.
Sanitary Fitting Selection
Dixon identifies B7MP-G400 as a 4" tube O.D. sanitary clamp tee. All three connections use the same 4" tube O.D. configuration.
Sanitary fitting sizes are based on tube outside diameter. Confirm the existing tube O.D. and mating sanitary connection geometry before ordering.
Also confirm that 304 stainless steel is appropriate for the process media, cleaning chemistry, operating temperature, sanitation requirements, and surrounding environment.
Gasket & Clamp Selection
Sanitary Gaskets
- Select compatible gaskets for all three 4" connections
- Confirm sanitary connection geometry
- Select gasket material for the process media
- Verify operating-temperature compatibility
- Confirm compatibility with cleaning chemicals
- Inspect gaskets before assembly
Sanitary Clamps
- Use compatible sanitary clamps at all three connections
- Confirm mating connection geometry
- Inspect clamps before installation
- Align mating faces before tightening
- Properly support connected tubing and equipment
- Do not use clamps to force misaligned piping into position
Installation
Before installation, confirm the B7MP-G400 part number, 4" tube O.D., equal tee configuration, and 304 stainless steel construction.
Inspect all three sanitary connection faces for contamination, scratches, dents, deformation, or other damage that could interfere with proper gasket sealing.
Install compatible sanitary gaskets between each pair of mating connection faces. Select gasket material according to the process fluid, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedures, and other system requirements.
Align connected tubing and equipment before installing and tightening the sanitary clamps. Do not use the clamps to pull misaligned piping into position.
Properly support the main run and branch piping so equipment weight, piping weight, vibration, and other external loads are not transferred unnecessarily to the tee or sanitary joints.
After installation, inspect all three connections and verify leak-free operation under appropriate process conditions before placing the system into normal service.
