316L Stainless Steel Construction
The L14AM7-R800 is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, a material commonly selected for sanitary process systems where corrosion resistance and cleanability are important.
The low-carbon 316L grade is well suited to welded process piping because it helps reduce susceptibility to carbide precipitation in the heat-affected area of a properly performed weld.
Always verify compatibility with the conveyed product, cleaning chemicals, operating temperature, and process requirements before installation.

Sanitary Connection Components
A complete clamp-style sanitary joint typically uses two compatible ferrules, a properly selected gasket, and a sanitary clamp.
The gasket is positioned between the two ferrule faces, and the clamp secures the joint together to create a removable process connection.
Ferrule size, gasket material, clamp type, pressure capability, temperature limits, and process compatibility should all be verified for the specific system.
Installation
Verify that the ferrule tube O.D. matches the sanitary tubing and mating process components before installation.
Prepare the tubing and ferrule using appropriate sanitary fabrication practices.
Keep all weld surfaces clean and free of contaminants that could adversely affect weld quality or corrosion resistance.
Use an appropriate welding process and qualified procedure for 316L stainless steel sanitary tubing.
Maintain proper alignment between the ferrule and tubing during welding to help provide an even internal transition.
After welding, inspect and finish the joint according to the hygiene and surface-finish requirements of the process system.
When completing the sanitary clamp connection, use the correct mating ferrule, gasket, and clamp for the 8" connection.
Inspect the gasket and ferrule faces for contamination or damage before assembling the clamp joint.
Our team can help review your tube O.D., stainless steel grade, mating ferrule, gasket, clamp, and sanitary process requirements before you order.
