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.
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a clamp, and a gasket (all sold separately).
- For Use With: Air, Water
- Tubing: Use with welded 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel that meets ASTM A269 or ASTM 270
Expand-to-connect fittings are also known as nonrecess or roll-on ferrules. To connect, insert metal tubing into the fitting and use an expansion tool (sold separately) to press the tubing into the fitting wall.
