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.
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).

Claw-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
An alternative to bolt-together fittings, these handle larger tube OD sizes and have higher vacuum ratings than quick-clamp fittings. Also known as ISO-K high-vacuum fittings, the clamps have claws that grab hold of fittings with flanged ends. To complete a connection, use a ring and four clamps (sold separately). Not for use in pressure applications.
Double-claw clamps attach to the grooves on the fittings.
Single-claw clamps have a clamp on one end and an exposed bolt on the other. Thread the bolt-end directly into the body of pumps, valves, or other high-vacuum components.

Bolt-Together High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
For high-vacuum systems with tube sizes too large for quick-clamp (KF) fittings, choose these bolt-together fittings. Also known as ISO-F flanges, these fittings work with tube sizes starting at 2 1/2" OD and are rated for higher levels of vacuum than quick-clamp fittings. Not for use in pressure applications.
To complete the bolt-end connection, you'll need a ring and a bolt kit (both sold separately).
