Contact SupplierTri-clamps or Triclover fittings are a class of sanitary flanges, clamps, gaskets and other fittings that can be of great use for the still builder. They are used in column to boiler connections, breaks in the column to allow for modular setups, detachable takeoff / lyne arms, sight glasses, fill and drain ports on the boiler, food processing industry that uses a non-permanent sanitary food-grade piping interconnect method, and many other uses.The interconnect consists of:
A lip flange on the ends of pipes with a grooved indentation on the flange.
A polymer sealing gasket placed between sections of pipe, squeezed between the flanges. This ring has a raised groove on both sides mating with the indentations of the two pipes on either side.
An enclosing clamp with C-shape clamping sections that cover the outer circumference of the flanges, applying pressure to squeeze the two pipe sections together onto the sealing ring. The clamp also provides structural strength and rigidity to the pipe sections.
The combined lip flange and gasket do not impede the flow of fluids through the piping.
The clamping system may be permanent, using a hose clamp style screw and band, or it may be easily removable using a fold-over hinged clamp assembly.
