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.
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 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.

Nuts for Compression Fittings for Copper Tubing
Use these nuts with compression sleeves and fittings to create a strong seal on copper tubing. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Long nuts support more of the tube’s surface area than short nuts for a strong grip in high-vibration applications.
Nuts with a built-in sleeve (ferrule) help ensure the sleeve is positioned correctly for installation.

Nuts with Built-In Sleeve for High-Temperature
Compression Tube Fittings for Food and Beverage
- Temperature Range: -40° to 270° F
- Tubing: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 45D-65D) nylon plastic, polyethylene plastic, or polypropylene plastic

Use these nuts with high-temperature compression fittings for food and beverage to create a seal on plastic tubing. They have a built-in sleeve (ferrule), so the sleeve is positioned correctly for installation. Thread the nut onto the fitting, then insert the tubing and tighten the nut. Nuts are PVDF (also known as Kynar), which has excellent strength and can handle high temperatures up to 270° F.
