316L Stainless Steel Construction
The B9MP-R200 is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant material commonly used in sanitary and process piping systems.
316L stainless steel is often selected for hygienic applications where resistance to process fluids, cleaning chemicals, and demanding operating environments is important.
Actual material suitability depends on the process media, concentration, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry, sanitation procedure, and other system conditions. Confirm compatibility for the specific application before installation.
Four-Way Clamp Cross Configuration
The B9MP-R200 provides four 2" sanitary clamp connections arranged around a common center point. This configuration provides a compact way to create a four-way junction within a hygienic process piping system.
Depending on the system layout, the fitting can be incorporated where process piping must branch into multiple directions or where several flow paths converge at a common point.
Because all four connections use sanitary clamp interfaces, the fitting can be removed from compatible piping assemblies for inspection, cleaning, equipment service, or system modification.

Sanitary Fitting Selection
Dixon identifies B9MP-R200 by its 2" tube outside diameter. Sanitary tube sizing should be confirmed against the existing process piping before ordering.
Do not automatically substitute nominal pipe sizing for sanitary tube O.D. The connection dimensions and fitting standards used in sanitary tubing systems differ from conventional nominal pipe sizing.
Also confirm that 316L stainless steel is the required material and that the mating ferrules, sanitary gaskets, and clamps are compatible with the 2" connections.
Gasket & Clamp Selection
Sanitary Gasket
- Match gasket size to the 2" sanitary connection
- Select material for the process media
- Verify operating-temperature compatibility
- Verify compatibility with cleaning chemicals
- Inspect the gasket before assembly
Sanitary Clamp
- Use the appropriate clamp size and style
- Inspect clamp components for wear or damage
- Align ferrule faces before tightening
- Follow applicable clamp installation procedures
- Do not use the clamp to correct piping misalignment
Standards & Sanitary Applications
Dixon documentation for the B9MP clamp-cross family references 3-A Sanitary Standards for Sanitary Fittings, Standard Number 63-04 under 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 2" tube O.D., 316L stainless steel construction, and fitting configuration before installation.
Inspect all four clamp faces for contamination, dents, scratches, deformation, or other damage that could interfere with gasket sealing.
Install properly sized and compatible sanitary gaskets between the mating ferrule faces. Select gasket material according to the process fluid, operating temperature, cleaning chemicals, sanitation procedures, and other system requirements.
Align the mating connections before installing the sanitary clamps. Do not use the fitting or clamps to pull misaligned piping into position.
Properly support the 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 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.
