Dixon Single pin squeeze clamp, 1 - 1-1/2

This Dixon single pin squeeze clamp is a 304 stainless steel sanitary clamp that joins two clamp-style tube ends with a gasket between them. It comes in 4 tube sizes: 1" to 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2" and 3". The clamp is rated at service pressure at two temperatures: at 21°C (70°F), 500 PSI for the 1" to 1-1/2" clamp falling to 350 PSI for the 3" clamp; at 121°C (250°F), 300 PSI falling to 175 PSI.

The ratings assume matching elastomer gaskets and weld ferrules, aligned and assembled, with the wing nut tightened to 25 in-lb of torque. Stainless sanitary clamps are used in brewing, winemaking and general food and beverage work, and that their smooth surface suits hygienic cleaning.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the clamp by tube OD and check that the pressure rating suits your line, at your operating temperature. The ratings need matching gaskets and ferrules, correctly aligned, and the wing nut at the specified torque, so do not treat them as a pipeline design pressure. The 1" to 1-1/2" clamp covers two tube sizes, so check your ferrule size.

The tests are done hydrostatically with no water hammer or shock loads, and that union ratings may be above recommended line operating pressures.
