Description
B7RMP-G400250 Clamp Reducing Tee - 4" x 2-1/2" 304 Stainless Steel
Dixon B7RMP-G400250 is a 4" x 2-1/2" sanitary clamp reducing tee manufactured from 304 stainless steel for hygienic and process piping applications.
The fitting provides a 4" sanitary clamp main run with a reduced 2-1/2" branch connection. This configuration allows a smaller process line to branch from the larger run while maintaining removable clamp-style connections for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and equipment service.

Reducing Tee Configuration
The B7RMP-G400250 combines a straight 4" sanitary run with a reduced 2-1/2" sanitary branch.
This configuration allows a 2-1/2" process line to branch from a larger 4" main line without requiring a separate reducing adapter at the branch connection.
All three ports use sanitary clamp-style connections, allowing the fitting to be assembled with compatible sanitary mating components, gaskets, and clamps and removed when cleaning or service access is required.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
The B7RMP-G400250 is manufactured from 304 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant material widely used in sanitary and general process piping systems.
304 stainless steel is commonly selected for compatible food, beverage, dairy, brewery, winery, and industrial process applications where cleanability and durable 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 environmental conditions.
Sanitary Clamp Connections
4" Main Run
- Two 4" sanitary clamp connections
- Maintains the larger line size through the straight run
- Removable clamp-style connection design
- Designed for compatible sanitary tubing systems
- Provides access for cleaning and maintenance
2-1/2" Reduced Branch
- One 2-1/2" sanitary clamp connection
- Provides a reduced branch from the 4" main run
- Useful for smaller process-line takeoffs
- Provides an integrated branch-size transition
- Reduces the need for a separate reducer at the branch

Sanitary Fitting Selection
Dixon identifies B7RMP-G400250 as a 4" x 2-1/2" tube O.D. reducing tee. The 4" dimension applies to the straight main run, while the 2-1/2" dimension applies to the reduced branch.
Sanitary fitting sizes are based on tube outside diameter. Do not automatically substitute conventional nominal pipe sizing when selecting this fitting.
Before ordering, confirm the sanitary tube O.D., mating clamp geometry, 304 stainless steel requirement, gasket requirements, and available installation space.
Gasket & Clamp Selection
Sanitary Gaskets
- Use correctly sized gaskets at both 4" main-run joints
- Use a correctly sized gasket at the 2-1/2" branch joint
- Select gasket material for the process media
- Verify operating-temperature compatibility
- Confirm compatibility with cleaning and sanitation chemicals
- Inspect gaskets before assembly
Sanitary Clamps
- Use compatible clamps for each sanitary connection
- Confirm 4" and 2-1/2" mating connection geometry
- Inspect clamps for wear or damage
- Align mating connection faces before tightening
- Properly support connected piping
- Do not use clamps to force piping into alignment
Standards & Sanitary Applications
Dixon's hygienic fittings catalog identifies the B7RMP Clamp Reducing Tee family under 3-A Sanitary Standard 63-04 with authorization number 621.
Application-specific sanitary, regulatory, material-certification, documentation, installation, and inspection requirements should still be confirmed for the complete process system before placing the fitting into service.
Installation
Before installation, confirm the B7RMP-G400250 part number, 4" main-run size, 2-1/2" reduced branch size, 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 all connected piping and equipment before installing and tightening the sanitary clamps. Do not use the clamps or reducing tee to pull misaligned piping into position.
Properly support the main run and branch piping so unnecessary external loads, vibration, or equipment weight are not transferred to the fitting or sanitary joints.
After assembly, inspect all three connections and verify leak-free operation under appropriate process conditions before returning the system to normal service.
Our team can help confirm your main-line size, branch size, stainless steel grade, clamp size, gasket material, and mating sanitary components before you order.
