Vne E15WI1.5 Short Welding Ferrule 1-1/2 in Ss E-line

Product Description

The VNE E15WI1.5 is a sanitary short welding ferrule designed for use in food processing, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical piping systems where cleanliness and corrosion resistance are critical. Machined from Grade 304 stainless steel, this ferrule provides a clean, weldable end connection for sanitary tubing assemblies. The E-Line female-by-female configuration accepts standard sanitary clamp fittings and is sized at 1-1/2 inches nominal. It is typically installed by pipefitters, sanitary welders, and process plumbers working on CIP-compatible stainless systems that require full-penetration butt welds or tack-weld attachment to tubing ends.

This ferrule is well-suited for light industrial and commercial sanitary piping runs where inline fittings must meet hygienic standards. The short ferrule profile keeps face-to-face dimensions compact, making it a practical choice in tight manifold configurations or when transitioning from plain-cut tubing to a clamp-union connection point. Both end connections are female, allowing the ferrule to mate with a standard sanitary clamp and gasket assembly on a finished weld joint.

Key Features

• Grade 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in sanitary service
• Short ferrule profile minimizes installed length in compact piping layouts
• E-Line female x female end connections for compatibility with standard sanitary clamp unions
• 1-1/2 inch nominal size suits common sanitary tubing diameters
• Smooth interior finish supports cleanability in hygienic process lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sanitary fitting for use with standard E-Line sanitary clamp and gasket assemblies in 1-1/2 inch nominal stainless steel tubing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified pipefitter or sanitary welder. The ferrule should be tack-welded or butt-welded to the tubing end using TIG welding practices appropriate for Grade 304 stainless steel sanitary service. Purge the weld zone with inert gas to prevent internal oxidation and discoloration. After welding, passivate and clean the joint per applicable sanitary piping standards before returning the line to service.
