Custom Sanitary Jacketed Pipe Fittings
Custom-fabricated sanitary jacketed pipe fittings for controlled heating or cooling of process piping. Available in 304 and 316L stainless steel, including jacketed elbows, tees, straight pipe sections, and other custom configurations.
The jacket provides a separate flow path for hot water, steam, cooling water, glycol, or other specified media to help maintain the required process temperature. Fittings can be manufactured to your required tube size, connection type, jacket configuration, dimensions, and surface finish.
Custom Configurations
Available configurations include:
- 304 or 316L stainless steel
- 45° and 90° elbows
- Tees, straight pipe sections, reducers, and custom fittings
- 1″–6″ and DN sizes
- Tri-Clamp, butt weld, flanged, threaded, DIN, ISO, SMS, or custom connections
- Full or partial jacket configurations
- Custom jacket inlet and outlet connections
- Mirror polished or electropolished surfaces
- Custom dimensions according to drawing, specification, or sample
Welding & Fabrication
GTAW (TIG) welding with high-purity argon back purging can be used for sanitary process connections. Single-side welding with full penetration helps achieve a smooth internal weld profile and minimize areas where product or cleaning media could be retained.
Pressure & Leak Testing
Pressure and leak testing can be provided for the process side and jacket side according to the specified test pressure, test medium, and applicable requirements. Test documentation can be supplied when required.
Applications
Jacketed sanitary fittings are used where the process fluid needs to be heated or cooled while flowing through the piping system. The external jacket allows hot water, steam, cooling water, or glycol to circulate around the process line to help maintain the required product temperature.
Typical applications include:
- Chocolate and confectionery transfer lines
- Syrup and high-viscosity food products
- Dairy and beverage processing
- Pharmaceutical and biotech process lines
- Temperature-sensitive or heat-maintained process fluids
