A TriClamp connection consists of two Ferrules joined by a Clamp with a Gasket.

How to Determine TriClamp Size
TriClamp Size is determined by the outside diameter of the pipe, NOT the outside diameter of the ferrule. The ferrule ( the end piece that makes half of the connection to another TC fitting) is about 1/2" larger than the TC size. In other words, a 1.5" TC fitting will have a ferrule whose outside diameter is about 2". Confusion arises with 1" TC fittings because they use the same ferrule as 1.5" TC fittings. [The two ferrules at right in photo are 1.5" and 1" Triclamp.]

1" and 1.5" TriClamp use the same clamp. The 'ferrule' is the same. The difference is the pipe diameter. To demonstrate, a 1" Tee is attached directly to a 1.5" Tee. 1" TC Gasket on top and 1.5" TC Gasket below. They have the same outside diameter. The difference is the throughput.

ULTRA Sanitary Butterfly Valve
Easily dissasembled for cleaning. Valve body is held together with a clamp. This valve is typically used in food processing with stringent sanitation requirements (for example, the valves are disassembled and cleaned after each process run.)
The only difference between Ultra Sanitary and standard butterfly is that a clamp, rather than bolts, hold the valve body together.
Trigger handle (6-positions in 90°).

Ball Valve for Wine
Teflon seats. Long, solid stainless handle.
Best quality ball valve in the wine industry.

304 stainless steel.

Please note. Do not mix seats between valves---this may cause leaks as the teflon will slowly form itself to its original valve. Teflon "cold-flows". This means it changes shape under pressure. Teflon seat will last virtually forever if it remains with the original valve.

Clamp (heavy duty single pin)

304 stainless, not 202 stainless. Some clamps on the market are produced from cheaper 202 stainless (although suppliers are mistakenly listing them as 304). This can be easily checked with our X-Ray Fluorescence analyzer.

Rubber Hose Adapter (TC x hose barb)
Be careful when ordering. The first number is the TC size and the second is the hose barb size.

If you use two clamps, apply the clamp furthest from the hose end first. Then apply the second with the buckle at 180° to the first. A single clamp will suffice in many applications and with small diameter hose.

Brewery (long) Hose Adapter (TC x hose barb)
Be careful when ordering. The first number is the TC size and the second is the hose barb size.

These have long ends for use with Brewers/Vintner hose or for high temperature applications. Brewery hose adapters are generally not needed for wine applications (except perhaps with large diameter hose).

It is easier to clean the lip of the fitting (inside the hose) with the standard rubber hose adapter than with the longer adapters.

Apply the clamp furthest from the hose end first. Then apply the second with the buckle at 180° to the first.

304 stainless.

Used in concrete hose and some sanitary applications where smooth transition from hose to fitting is required. Requires specialized equipment and trained operator to apply. The fitting is literally expanded inside the hose such that the inside of the fitting is the same diameter as the inside of the hose.

These are in stock but please call before ordering so that we can be certain you can apply these.

Y-Ball Check Valves
304 stainless.

How to Determine TriClamp Size

When liquid is pushed into the inlet, a check ball is forced into the branch, allowing full fluid flow. When the fluid flow stops, equalizing the pressure, the ball falls back into the inlet, preventing backflow. Should reverse pressure occur, the ball seats firmly against the inlet gasket to prevent leakage.
PTFE (teflon) ball. Seating pressure is very low (0.75" H2O = .03 psi)

Note that the Air Blow Check Valve can be attached to upper port to blow out both product or CIP solutions.
