Description
B7RMP-R7550 Clamp Reducing Tee - 3/4" x 1/2" 316L Stainless Steel
Dixon B7RMP-R7550 is a 3/4" x 1/2" sanitary clamp reducing tee manufactured from 316L stainless steel for hygienic process piping systems.
The fitting provides a 3/4" sanitary clamp run with a reduced 1/2" branch connection, allowing a smaller sanitary line to branch from the larger process line while maintaining removable clamp-style connections for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and equipment service.

Reducing Tee Configuration
The B7RMP-R7550 combines a straight 3/4" sanitary run with a reduced 1/2" sanitary branch.
This configuration allows a smaller process line to connect to a larger 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 ferrules, gaskets, and clamps.
316L Stainless Steel Construction
The B7RMP-R7550 is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant material commonly used in sanitary, hygienic, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical process piping.
316L stainless steel is frequently selected where additional corrosion resistance is desired for compatible process fluids, cleaning chemicals, and sanitary service conditions.
Always confirm material suitability for the actual process media, cleaning chemistry, operating temperature, sanitation procedures, and environmental conditions.
Sanitary Clamp Connections
3/4" Main Run
- Two 3/4" sanitary clamp connections
- Maintains the larger main-line size through the tee
- Removable clamp-style joints
- Designed for compatible sanitary tubing systems
1/2" Reduced Branch
- One 1/2" sanitary clamp connection
- Provides a reduced branch from the 3/4" main run
- Useful for smaller process takeoffs
- Eliminates the need for a separate reducer at the branch

- Sanitary transfer lines
- Process equipment connections
- Reduced branch takeoffs
- Compatible industrial hygienic systems
Sanitary Fitting Selection
Dixon identifies B7RMP-R7550 as a 3/4" x 1/2" tube O.D. reducing tee. The larger 3/4" dimension applies to the main run, while the 1/2" dimension applies to the reduced branch.
Do not automatically substitute conventional nominal pipe sizing for sanitary tube O.D. Confirm the dimensions of the existing sanitary tubing and mating clamp connections before ordering.
Also verify that 316L stainless steel is appropriate for the process media and sanitation requirements.
Gasket & Clamp Selection
Sanitary Gaskets
- Two 3/4" gaskets required for the main run connections
- One 1/2" gasket required for the reduced branch
- Select gasket material for the process media
- Verify temperature and cleaning-chemical compatibility
- Inspect gaskets before assembly
Sanitary Clamps
- Use correctly sized clamps for each connection
- Verify 3/4" and 1/2" mating ferrule compatibility
- Inspect clamps before use
- Align ferrule faces before tightening
- Do not use clamps to pull misaligned piping into position
Standards & Sanitary Applications
Dixon's hygienic fittings literature references 3-A Sanitary Standard 63-04 and authorization number 621 for the B7RMP clamp reducing tee family.
Application-specific sanitary, regulatory, material, documentation, and installation requirements should still be confirmed for the complete process system.
Installation
Confirm the 3/4" main-run size, 1/2" reduced branch size, 316L stainless steel material, and sanitary clamp configuration before installation.
Inspect all three clamp faces for contamination, scratches, dents, deformation, or other damage that could interfere with gasket sealing.
Install compatible sanitary gaskets between each mating ferrule face. Select gasket material according to the process fluid, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedures, and other system requirements.
Align all piping and equipment before installing the clamps. Do not use the fitting or clamps to force misaligned tubing into position.
Properly support connected piping so external loads are not transferred unnecessarily to the reducing tee or its sanitary joints.
After assembly, inspect all three connections and verify leak-free operation under appropriate process conditions before returning the system to 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.

What does the R designation identify?
For this Dixon fitting family, the R-series part number corresponds to the 316L stainless steel version.
Are clamps and gaskets included?
Do not assume clamps or gaskets are included unless specifically stated in the GetPipe.com offering. They are normally selected separately according to connection size and process requirements.
Is the 3/4" x 1/2" size based on tube O.D.?
Yes. Dixon lists the fitting by sanitary tube outside diameter.
What is a clamp reducing tee used for?
It allows a smaller sanitary branch line to connect to a larger main process line using removable hygienic clamp connections.
What should I verify before ordering B7RMP-R7550?
Confirm the B7RMP-R7550 part number, 3/4" main-run tube O.D., 1/2" branch tube O.D., 316L stainless steel requirement, fitting dimensions, gasket materials, and clamp compatibility.
