Polished to a 20 Ra finish, these fittings have an extra-smooth interior that prevents product buildup and inhibits bacteria growth. Use them in pharmaceutical and bioprocessing applications. Also known as tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a clamp, a gasket, and another quick-clamp fitting for a fast and easy way to access your line. Fittings are 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance.
Fittings with barbed hose end connect flexible hose or tubing to your system. Secure with a hose clamp (sold separately).
The pressure rating of the fitting will depend on the clamp you choose.
The temperature rating of the fitting will vary depending on the gasket material you choose.
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.

Polished to at least a 15 Ra finish on the inside, these fittings have an ultra-smooth interior surface that helps prevent contamination. Also known as ultra-high-purity fittings, they’re packed in a Class 100 clean room, cleaned, and double bagged. They are commonly used in semiconductor applications. Fittings use a metal gasket (sold separately), which generates fewer particles than a rubber gasket and creates a strong seal in high-pressure and ultra-high-vacuum applications. Fittings are 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance.
To assemble, place a gasket between the gasket ends before gently rotating the female-threaded fitting onto the male-threaded fitting. Tighten until 1/8 of a turn past finger tight.
Choose threaded fittings to attach directly to other fittings. Or, choose one of the following types of fittings to attach directly to tubing:
Butt-weld fittings allow for a smooth, flush connection that provides maximum flow.
Adapters with an unthreaded gasket fitting connection are also known as glands.

Hard and heat resistant, stainless steel gaskets can be used in a wider range of applications than nickel gaskets such as carbon monoxide and ozone. However, they’re harder to tighten than nickel gaskets, and they’ll wear down sealing surfaces more quickly.
