Additional info about valves and fittings

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.]
TriClamp	Ferrule O.D. "B" in photo above	Pipe I.D. "A" in photo above
1"	1.984"	0.87"
1.5"	1.984"	1.37"
2"	2.516"	1.87"
2.5"	3.047"	2.37"

4"	4.682"	3.834"
6"	6.570"	5.782"
8"	8.570"	7.782"
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. Explanation of Hose Barb OD	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 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°). 304 stainless.

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. How to Determine TriClamp Size Click here for replacement orings.	1.5"	$130 o/s till April

3-Way Ball Valves -New design. Heavy duty and easier to open than other 3-way valves. We incorporated some of the innovative design features of the Wine ball valve above, and additionally modified the seats to make these valves easier to open. Seats are teflon and EPDM combination. 304 stainless steel 4 flow positions. You can allow flow between any 2 of the ports while blocking the third. In addition, you can allow flow between all 3 ports. You cannot regulate the flow to a port. It is either open or blocked. 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.

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.	1.5"	$260

Flow direction is from outside to inside.	1.5"	$395 in stock
	Replacement Wire Cloth $25 240 micron mesh (30% open area). 1.5" and 2" Strainers have same wire cloth. Do not confuse this Wire Cloth with the Perforated Screen in photo at left. Wire cloth is included with Strainer but not used for grape seed removal. Typically used for filtering milk.

Tri-Clamp Gaskets made from FDA approved materials EPDM is fine for most applications with a working temp range of -40 F to 300° F. EPDM generally has better resistivity to cleaning chemicals than silicone. Silicone working temp range is -90 F to 480 F. Teflon (-10 to 300°F) is the best choice only for highly corrosive environments which does not include beer or wine. Buna: We do not offer Buna. Buna is best suited for petroleum industry (gasoline). Buna temp range is narrow (-25 to 225° F) and has the worst rating for steam cleaning. In addition, Buna generally has lower ratings for chemical resistivity than EPDM or silicone.
