Description
B7RMP-R400200 Clamp Reducing Tee - 4" x 2" 316L Stainless Steel
Dixon B7RMP-R400200 is a 4" x 2" sanitary clamp reducing tee manufactured from 316L stainless steel for hygienic and process piping applications.
The fitting provides a 4" sanitary clamp main run with a reduced 2" branch connection. This configuration allows a smaller sanitary process line to branch from a larger main line while maintaining removable clamp connections for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and equipment service.

Reducing Tee Configuration
The B7RMP-R400200 combines a straight 4" sanitary run with a reduced 2" sanitary branch.
This configuration allows a 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 and removed using compatible sanitary ferrules, gaskets, and clamps.
316L Stainless Steel Construction
The B7RMP-R400200 is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant material commonly used in sanitary and hygienic process piping systems.
316L stainless steel is frequently selected for compatible food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and other process applications where corrosion resistance and hygienic construction are important.
Material suitability should always be confirmed for the actual process fluid, concentration, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedures, and environmental conditions.
Sanitary Clamp Connections
4" Main Run
- Two 4" sanitary clamp connections
- Maintains the larger line size through the tee
- Removable clamp-style joints
- Designed for compatible sanitary tubing systems
- Allows access during cleaning and maintenance
2" Reduced Branch
- One 2" sanitary clamp connection
- Provides a reduced branch from the 4" main run
- Useful for smaller process-line takeoffs
- Provides an integrated size transition
- Eliminates the need for a separate reducer at the branch

Dixon's current sanitary/hygienic fittings literature lists B7RMP-R400200 with dimensions of 4.06" and 3.56". Earlier Dixon dimensional literature provides the same geometry at greater precision, listing 4.063" and 3.563", along with an 8.125" overall dimension across the straight run.
When exact equipment clearance, fabrication dimensions, or piping-layout spacing are critical, verify dimensions against the latest applicable Dixon drawing before installation.

Why Use a Clamp Reducing Tee?
Integrated Size Reduction
A reducing tee combines the branch connection and size transition into a single fitting. The B7RMP-R400200 maintains a 4" main run while providing a 2" branch connection.
Removable Sanitary Connections
Clamp-style connections allow the fitting to be removed from compatible sanitary piping assemblies for inspection, cleaning, maintenance, or process-system modification.
Sanitary Fitting Selection
Dixon identifies B7RMP-R400200 as a 4" x 2" tube O.D. reducing tee. The 4" dimension applies to the straight main run, while the 2" dimension applies to the reduced branch.
Confirm sanitary tube O.D. rather than relying only on conventional nominal pipe sizing. Sanitary tubing and standard pipe systems can use different dimensional conventions.
Also confirm that 316L stainless steel is the required material and that the mating ferrules, sanitary gaskets, and clamps are compatible with the 4" and 2" connections.
Gasket & Clamp Selection
Sanitary Gaskets
- Two gaskets sized for the 4" main-run connections
- One gasket sized for the 2" reduced branch
- Select gasket material for the process media
- Verify operating-temperature compatibility
- Verify compatibility with cleaning and sanitation chemicals
- Inspect sealing surfaces and gaskets before assembly
Sanitary Clamps
- Use correctly sized clamps for each connection
- Verify 4" and 2" mating ferrule compatibility
- Inspect clamps for wear or damage
- Align mating ferrule faces before tightening
- Follow applicable clamp installation procedures
- Do not use clamps to correct piping misalignment
Standards & Sanitary Applications
Dixon's sanitary/hygienic fittings documentation identifies the B7RMP Clamp Reducing Tee family in connection with 3-A Sanitary Standard 63-04 and authorization number 621.
Application-specific sanitary, regulatory, documentation, material, and installation requirements should still be confirmed for the complete process system before the fitting is placed into service.
Installation
Confirm the 4" main-run size, 2" reduced branch size, 316L stainless steel construction, and sanitary clamp configuration before installation.
Inspect all three clamp faces for contamination, scratches, dents, deformation, or other damage that could interfere with proper gasket sealing.
Install correctly sized sanitary gaskets between each pair of mating ferrule faces. Select gasket material according to the process fluid, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedures, and other system requirements.
Align the connected piping and equipment before installing the clamps. Do not use the reducing tee or sanitary clamps to pull misaligned tubing into position.
Properly support the 4" main line and 2" branch so excessive external loads, vibration, or equipment weight are not transferred unnecessarily to the reducing tee or clamp joints.
After assembly, inspect all three sanitary 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.
