Sanitary Fittings (Tri-Clamp)

Tri-Clamp sanitary fittings are standardized clamp-type connectors designed for hygienic fluid transfer systems. They feature a tri-lobed clamp mechanism that compresses a gasket between two ferrules, creating a leak-proof, crevice-free seal suitable for clean-in-place (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) processes. In WFI (Water for Injection) distribution manifolds, these fittings ensure sterile connections that prevent microbial contamination and maintain water purity.

The Tri-Clamp system uses a three-segment clamp that applies uniform radial pressure when tightened, compressing an elastomeric gasket between two ferrules with standardized face profiles. This creates a hygienic seal with no dead spaces, allowing for easy disassembly and reassembly without tools (using a wing nut or bolt clamp). The design prevents product entrapment and facilitates thorough cleaning.
