2.500" Male I-Line Short Weld Ferrule - (14WI) - 316L Stainless

Male Short Weld I-Line Ferrule (14WI) – 316L Stainless Steel

PNW Sanitary Male Short Weld I-Line Ferrules (14WI) provide a secure, sanitary connection for permanent installations in stainless process systems. Designed to weld directly to tubing, these ferrules create a leak-resistant, rigid joint when paired with a corresponding I-Line female ferrule and clamp. The interlocking I-Line design offers superior strength, vibration resistance, and alignment compared to standard sanitary connections.

Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, each ferrule provides enhanced corrosion resistance and weldability for demanding hygienic environments, including food, beverage, dairy, brewery, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical processing. Circular welding ensures a smooth, crevice-free interior surface ideal for sanitary service and easy cleanability.
