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.

Replacement Stainless Handles.
If you have a sugary product (in particular sugar, honey, molasses ....) in which sugar crystallizes in the valve, valves can be very difficult to open and you might need cheater bar to open. In that case, the stainless handle is better.
Stainless Handle for 1'-3" valve $25
Stainlesss Handle for 4' valve $30

Pneumatic Actuators for Butterfly Valves
They can be added to existing valve. Custom order. Normally open or closed .... as needed. Prices vary ~$350-$425 each.
Please send email with requirements. Delivery is ~ 3-4 weeks.

   

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.

90° 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.

Be careful when ordering. The first number is the TC size and the second is the hose barb size.
Long ends for use with Brewers hose (we do not sell brewery hose). Brewery hose adapters are generally not needed for Nutriflex/Nutriflo.
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.

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.
