304 Stainless Steel Construction
The B9MP-G100 is manufactured from 304 stainless steel, a widely used corrosion-resistant material for sanitary and general process piping applications.
304 stainless steel provides durable construction for many compatible food, beverage, dairy, and industrial process environments and is commonly used throughout hygienic fluid-handling systems.
Material suitability should be confirmed for the specific process fluid, concentration, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedure, and environmental conditions.
Four-Way Clamp Cross Configuration
The B9MP-G100 provides four 1" sanitary clamp connections arranged around a common center point.
This configuration creates a compact four-way junction within a sanitary process piping system. Depending on system design, the fitting may be used where flow branches into multiple directions or where compatible process lines converge at a common junction.
Because all four ports use sanitary clamp interfaces, the fitting can be removed from compatible piping assemblies for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, or system modification.

Sanitary Fitting Selection
Dixon identifies B9MP-G100 by its 1" tube outside diameter. Confirm the sanitary tube O.D. of the existing system before ordering.
Do not automatically substitute nominal pipe size for sanitary tube O.D. Sanitary tubing and conventional pipe systems use different dimensional conventions.
Also confirm that 304 stainless steel is the required material and that the mating ferrules, sanitary gaskets, and clamps are compatible with the 1" connections.
Gasket & Clamp Selection
Sanitary Gasket
- Match gasket size to the 1" sanitary connection
- Select gasket material for the process media
- Verify operating-temperature compatibility
- Verify compatibility with cleaning chemicals
- Inspect the gasket before assembly
Sanitary Clamp
- Use the proper clamp size and style
- Inspect clamp components for wear or damage
- Align mating ferrule faces before tightening
- Follow applicable clamp installation procedures
- Do not use the clamp to correct piping misalignment
Standards & Sanitary Applications
Dixon's current product documentation references 3-A Sanitary Standard 63-04 under Certificate Authorization Number 621 for this sanitary fitting family.
Application-specific sanitary, regulatory, material, documentation, and installation requirements should still be confirmed for the individual process system before ordering or placing the fitting into service.
Installation
Confirm the 1" tube O.D., 304 stainless steel construction, and cross configuration before installation.
Inspect all four 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 chemicals, sanitation procedures, and other system requirements.
Align all mating connections before installing the sanitary clamps. Do not use the fitting or clamps to pull misaligned tubing or equipment into position.
Properly support connected piping and equipment so excessive external loads are not transferred to the clamp cross or sanitary joints.
After assembly, inspect all four connections and verify leak-free operation under appropriate process conditions before placing the system into normal service.
Our team can help confirm your tube O.D., stainless steel grade, clamp size, gasket material, and mating sanitary components before you order.
