High-Polish Metal Quick-Clamp Sanitary Tube Fittings
- Temperature Range: See Gaskets
The smooth finish inside these fittings makes it easy to remove product residue. Also known as aseptic and tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a gasket, a clamp, and another quick-clamp fitting for a fast and easy way to access your line. The pressure rating of the fitting will vary depending on the clamp you choose, and the temperature rating will vary based on the gasket material you choose.
Inch fittings connect to another same-size fitting and squeeze the gasket in between for a tight seal.
316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
3-A certified fittings comply with sanitary standards.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a clamp, and a gasket (all sold separately).

Buna-N gaskets are oil resistant. EPDM gaskets resist water and steam and work well in humid environments. Silicone gaskets withstand high temperatures. Fluoroelastomer gaskets stand up to fuel, oil, and acid condensates. PTFE gaskets withstand harsh chemicals, with the exception of molten alkali metal and elemental fluorine.

Connect quick-clamp sanitary tube fittings—also known as aseptic fittings—for a fast and easy way to access your line. Clamps with wing nut tighten by hand. Double-bolt clamps meet ASME design standards for pressure vessels.
304 stainless steel clamps have very good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel clamps are more corrosion resistant than 304 stainless steel clamps. Clamps with two-pin hinge apply more even pressure on gaskets than other clamps, causing less wear and tear on gaskets.
