Premium 304/316L Stainless Steel Construction – Offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and chemical attack, making it ideal for food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic processing environments.
32Ra Sanitary Polished Finish – Both interior and exterior surfaces are precision finished to 32Ra (or better), ensuring a smooth, bacteria-resistant surface that minimizes product buildup and facilitates thorough CIP cleaning.
Symmetrical True Y-Shape Design – The balanced Y-configuration with two 45° inlets creates even flow distribution and full drainability, preventing product trapping and stagnant zones.
Tri-Clamp Connections on All Ports – Clamp x Clamp x Clamp ends enable quick assembly and disassembly without tools, offering exceptional flexibility for cleaning, maintenance, and process changes.
3-A Sanitary Certified – Manufactured to meet 3-A Sanitary Standards (Standard Number 63-03), ensuring compliance with the highest hygienic design requirements.
Wide Size Range – Available from 1" to 4" tube OD to accommodate diverse system requirements.
Full Material Traceability – Material certifications and test reports are available upon request, ensuring complete quality assurance.
Multiple Standard Compliance – Manufactured to meet DIN, SMS, ISO/IDF, BS/AS, and ASME BPE standards.
The 28BMP Clamp True Y functions as a branch connection fitting that enables balanced flow splitting between a main pipeline and a secondary line.
Flow Entry – Process fluid enters the fitting through the main inlet port (straight leg of the Y).
Balanced Flow Division – The symmetrical Y-shaped internal geometry with two 45° angular branches divides the flow evenly into two separate streams. Unlike standard tees, the true Y design minimizes turbulence and pressure drop.
Flow Exit – The two divided streams exit through the two branch ports, which are positioned at a 90-degree angle relative to each other.
Full Drainability – The Y-shaped design allows for complete drainage when installed vertically, preventing product residue from accumulating in dead zones.
This design is particularly valuable in CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems, blending operations, and pressure-balanced branches where even flow distribution and easy cleaning are critical.
Superior Material Quality – Made from 304 or 316L stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability for demanding sanitary applications.
Hygienic Design – The 32Ra polished surface reduces bacterial adhesion and residue buildup, critical for food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.
3-A Sanitary Certified – Meets 3-A Sanitary Standards (Standard 63-03), ensuring compliance with rigorous industry requirements for hygienic fittings-.
Quick Assembly & Disassembly – Tri-Clamp connections on all three ports enable tool-free installation and removal, reducing downtime for cleaning and maintenance.
Complete Traceability – Material certifications and test reports are available upon request for full quality documentation.
Balanced Flow Performance – The symmetrical Y-shape ensures even flow distribution and full drainability, preventing product waste and contamination.
Versatile Applications – Suitable for food processing, dairy, beverage, brewing, distilling, pharmaceutical, personal care, and cosmetic industries.
Flexible Customization – OEM and ODM services are available, with production according to customer drawings and specifications.

Q1: What is the difference between a "True Y" and a standard tee?
A: A True Y features a symmetrical Y-shape with two 45° angular inlets leading into a straight flow pattern. This design creates a balanced split in product flow with minimal turbulence and pressure drop, whereas a standard tee creates an uneven 90° branch with higher pressure loss and potential for product trapping-.
Q2: What is the difference between 304 and 316L stainless steel for this fitting?
A: 316L stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304, particularly in chloride-rich environments such as food processing, dairy, and pharmaceutical applications. The "L" designation indicates low carbon content, which enhances weldability and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion.
Q3: What does "32Ra finish" mean and why is it important?
A: 32Ra refers to the surface roughness average of 32 microinches. This smooth finish is critical in sanitary applications because it minimizes bacterial adhesion, prevents product residue buildup, and facilitates thorough Clean-In-Place (CIP) cleaning-.
Q4: Why is the 28BMP designed for vertical installations?
A: The True Y configuration is specifically designed for vertical process installations because the symmetrical Y-shape allows for full drainability – when installed vertically, gravity ensures complete drainage of the fitting, preventing product stagnation and contamination--4.
Q5: What industries commonly use the 28BMP Clamp True Y?
A: The 28BMP Clamp True Y is widely used in food processing, dairy production, beverage manufacturing, brewing, distilling, personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries-4-. It is also suitable for water treatment and general industrial applications.
