Steel & O'Brien 14WLMP Tank Welding Spud, commonly known as a ferrule, is a stainless steel sanitary fitting that serves as a crucial connector between removable clamp fittings and permanent butt weld connections. Designed specifically for the construction of sanitary tanks, this fitting is ideal for applications requiring secure connections for product transfer or cleaning processes. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this fitting offers exceptional corrosion resistance, making it a perfect choice for the food and beverage industries where hygiene and durability are required. With a smaller diameter and thinner wall thickness compared to standard tank spuds, this ferrule is specifically tailored for welding onto lighter gauge metal tanks, enhancing versatility in design and installations. The 14WLMP provides either a threaded or flanged connection on tank walls, enabling seamless attachment of pipes or other components through welded joints, ensuring reliability in various applications. The short weld ferrules are equipped with both clamp and butt-weld connection ends. The shorter butt-welding end simplifies integration into process lines, making it ideal for joining clamp fittings to welded ends.
