The 3114MP Clamp Concentric Reducer operates on a simple yet effective principle:
Connection — Two ferrules on each end of the reducer are bonded by a gasket and secured with a clamp
Flow Transition — The concentric design reduces the pipe diameter symmetrically along a common center axis, creating a conical cylinder shape
Sealing — The clamp applies even pressure around the gasket, creating a leak-proof seal that prevents contamination and maintains process integrity
Maintenance — The clamp connection enables tool-free disassembly for routine cleaning, inspection, and CIP (Clean-in-Place) procedures

Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316L stainless steel?
A: 304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance for most food and beverage applications-. 316L stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance — particularly against chlorides and chemicals — making it ideal for pharmaceutical, biotech, and more aggressive environments--.
Q: What industries use the 3114MP Clamp Concentric Reducer?
A: Food & beverage processing, dairy industry, pharmaceutical & biotechnology, general industrial piping, water treatment, and chemical facilities--.
Q: Is this product 3-A certified?
A: Yes. The 3114MP series meets 3-A Sanitary Standards (Number 63-03) for sanitary fittings.
Q: What sizes are available?
A: Available from 1/2" to 8" tube OD in various configurations-1. Common sizes include 1" x 1/2", 1-1/2" x 1", 2" x 1-1/2", 3" x 2", 4" x 3", and 6" x 4".
Q: What is the surface finish?
A: Standard finish is 32Ra sanitary finish. 20Ra and 15Ra finishes are available upon request.
Q: Can this reducer be used in horizontal piping?
A: Yes. The concentric reducer is commonly used in vertical flow applications or as an increaser when installed horizontally in the direction of flow.
Q: How do I install the 3114MP reducer?
A: Simply place a sanitary gasket between the ferrule ends, align the reducer with the tubing, and secure with a tri-clamp. Tighten the clamp to create a leak-proof seal
