Vne 14R2.5 Sanitary Recessless Ferrule 2.5 in Bevel Seat 304 Ss

Product Description

The VNE 14R2.5 is a sanitary recessless ferrule with an expanding design, manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel. This fitting provides a bevel seat end connection and is engineered for use in hygienic piping systems where recessed areas must be eliminated to prevent product buildup and contamination. Weighing 0.38 pounds, the 14R2.5 is sized for 2.5-inch tube OD applications. It is typically installed by plumbers or pipefitters working on sanitary process lines in food, beverage, dairy, or pharmaceutical environments where crevice-free fittings are required by sanitation standards.

This ferrule is suited for sanitary piping systems that require recessless end connections to meet hygienic design criteria. The bevel seat connection style allows for secure, repeatable makeup with compatible sanitary clamp fittings. The expanding ferrule design accommodates standard 2.5-inch sanitary tube and integrates into systems where cleanability and product integrity are critical operating requirements. Installation is performed by qualified pipefitters or sanitary plumbing contractors working on process or utility lines in regulated facilities.
