4.000" Female I-Line Short Weld Ferrule - (15WI) - 316L Stainless

Female Short Weld I-Line Ferrule (15WI) – 316L Stainless Steel

PNW Sanitary Female Short Weld I-Line Ferrules (15WI) provide a secure, permanent sanitary connection between welded tubing and I-Line fittings. Designed for hygienic process systems, these ferrules create a leak-resistant, rigid joint when paired with a corresponding I-Line male ferrule and clamp. The interlocking I-Line design ensures precise alignment, enhanced strength, and a clean, crevice-free connection ideal for sanitary processing environments.

Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, each ferrule delivers superior corrosion resistance and weldability, making it ideal for demanding applications in food, beverage, dairy, brewery, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical systems. The short weld end allows for compact installation while maintaining a smooth interior finish to support clean-in-place (CIP) operations.
