DIXON
DIXON is a manufacturer of industrial hose fittings, couplings, valves, and related fluid-handling components, with a product line that includes butterfly valves designed for sanitary and general industrial applications. The brand is recognized for its focus on stainless steel construction, particularly 316L stainless steel, which offers corrosion resistance suitable for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing environments. The butterfly valves supplied by 3G Electric are 3-A Certified, indicating compliance with sanitary standards for equipment used in dairy and food processing. These valves feature lever handles with either 4 or unlimited stop positions, allowing precise flow control. Available pipe sizes range from 1/2 inch to 4 inches, with connection types including clamp (tri-clamp) and solder ends, accommodating different piping system requirements. Maximum pressure ratings vary by size and connection, from 85 psi to 140 psi CWP (cold working pressure). The valves maintain an average surface roughness (Ra) of ≤ 32 microinches, meeting hygiene requirements for clean-in-place (CIP) systems. Body and disc materials are consistently 316L stainless steel, with EPDM seat material specified for certain models, providing resistance to hot water, steam, and mild chemicals. 3G Electric stocks over 160 SKUs of DIXON butterfly valves, offering datasheets and logistics support for global procurement. The product range supports applications in sanitary processing, water treatment, and industrial fluid handling where reliable shut-off and throttling are required. Engineers and maintenance managers can select valves based on pipe size, connection type, pressure rating, and stop-position count to match system specifications. The 3-A certification provides assurance for facilities subject to regulatory inspections in food and dairy sectors. DIXON's focus on stainless steel fabrication aligns with industry demands for durability and cleanability in process lines.
