The 1-1/2" B9MP clamp cross has a 2.750" center-to-end dimension, producing a 5.500" overall span across opposing clamp ends. When fabrication clearances or exact fit-up are critical, verify dimensions against the latest applicable Dixon drawing before installation.
316L Stainless Steel Construction
The B9MP-R150 is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant material commonly used in hygienic and process piping systems.
316L stainless steel is frequently selected for sanitary applications where resistance to process fluids, cleaning chemicals, and demanding service environments is important.
Material suitability depends on the specific process media, concentration, temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedure, and operating conditions. Confirm compatibility for the application before installation.
Four-Way Clamp Cross Configuration
The B9MP-R150 provides four 1-1/2" sanitary clamp connections arranged around a common center point.
This configuration creates a compact four-way junction for sanitary process piping. Depending on system design, a clamp cross can be used where flow paths branch into multiple directions or where several process lines meet at a common junction.
All four connections use sanitary clamp interfaces, allowing the fitting to be removed from compatible piping assemblies when cleaning, inspection, maintenance, or system modification is required.

Sanitary Fitting Selection
Dixon identifies B9MP-R150 by its 1-1/2" tube outside diameter. Confirm sanitary tube O.D. against the existing process piping before ordering.
Do not automatically substitute nominal pipe sizing for sanitary tube O.D. Sanitary tubing and conventional nominal pipe systems use different dimensional conventions.
Also confirm that 316L stainless steel is the required material and that all mating ferrules, gaskets, and clamps are compatible with the 1-1/2" sanitary connections.
Gasket & Clamp Selection
Sanitary Gasket
- Match gasket size to the 1-1/2" connection
- Select material for the process media
- Verify operating-temperature compatibility
- Verify compatibility with cleaning chemicals
- Inspect before assembly
Sanitary Clamp
- Use the proper clamp size and style
- Inspect clamp components for 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 documentation for this sanitary fitting family references 3-A Sanitary Standards for Sanitary Fittings, Standard Number 63-04 under Certificate Authorization Number 621.
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 1-1/2" tube O.D., 316L 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 properly sized sanitary gaskets between each pair of mating ferrule faces. Gasket material should be selected according to the process fluid, operating temperature, cleaning chemicals, sanitation procedures, and other system requirements.
Align mating connections before installing the sanitary clamps. Do not use the fitting or clamps to pull misaligned piping into position.
Properly support connected piping and equipment so excessive external loads are not transferred to the clamp cross or its sanitary joints.
After assembly, inspect all four connections and verify leak-free operation under appropriate system conditions before returning the process line to 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.
