Dixon 3-A Certified Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves are constructed with 316L stainless steel bodies and discs, providing corrosion resistance and suitability for sanitary applications. They feature an average surface roughness (Ra) of ≤ 32 micron, which helps prevent product buildup and facilitates cleaning. Available in sizes such as 1-1/2 inch and 4 inch, these valves come with either clamp or solder connections. The lever handle offers multiple stop positions (4 or 13, depending on model) for precise flow control. Seals are made of EPDM, and the maximum pressure rating is 85 psi CWP. They comply with standards including FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, USP Class VI, and EC 1935/2004, making them suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.

Dixon multipurpose barbed combination nipples are designed for air, water, and chemical transfer. They are used to connect hoses to threaded pipe, grooved piping systems, flanges, or beveled connections. Common applications include pneumatic systems, water lines, chemical processing, and general industrial fluid handling. The fittings are available in various sizes, from 1 inch to 12 inches, and feature steel construction for durability. The no-knurl and rigid designs provide secure connections in demanding environments. These nipples are often used in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) activities where quick and reliable hose connections are required.

Dixon barbed combination nipples are available with a range of connection types to suit different piping systems. These include hose barb x NPT (National Pipe Thread), hose barb x grooved, hose barb x flange, hose barb x floating flange, and hose barb x beveled. The hose barb end connects to the inside diameter of a hose, while the other end mates with the corresponding pipe or equipment connection. For example, the KHN881 model has a 1 inch hose barb x 1 inch NPT, the STV60CS has a 6 inch hose barb x grooved, and the N60 has a 6 inch hose barb x floating flange. This variety allows for flexibility in system design and retrofitting.

Dixon cam and groove fittings are available in a variety of materials to suit different applications and fluid compatibility. Common materials include aluminum, brass, stainless steel (such as 316), and polypropylene. Aluminum fittings are lightweight and suitable for many general-purpose applications. Brass offers good corrosion resistance and is often used in water and fuel lines. Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance and is used in chemical, food, and pharmaceutical applications. Polypropylene is used for chemical resistance and is lightweight. The choice of material depends on factors such as the fluid being transferred, operating temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions. 3G Electric supplies Dixon cam and groove fittings in these materials, with datasheets available for specification.

Dixon butterfly valves have specific pressure and temperature ratings that vary by model and size. For instance, the 3-A Certified Stainless Steel Butterfly Valve with a 4-inch clamp connection has a maximum pressure rating of 85 psi CWP (cold working pressure). Temperature ratings depend on the seal material; EPDM seals typically handle temperatures from -20°F to 300°F (-29°C to 149°C), but exact limits should be confirmed from the datasheet. It is important to verify that the selected valve meets the operating conditions of the system, including pressure, temperature, and media compatibility. 3G Electric provides datasheets for each SKU to assist with proper selection.
