Hygienic Tri-Clamps

Hygienic Tri-Clamps (or TC fittings) are the gold standard for connecting piping in the food, beverage, and biotech industries. They consist of two flanged ends, a gasket, and a hinged clamp to create a leak-proof, high-pressure seal.

Key Features:
Sanitary Design: Crevice-free interiors prevent bacterial growth.
Easy Maintenance: Can be disassembled by hand for "Clean-in-Place" (CIP) or manual washing.
Durability: Usually made of 304 or 316L stainless steel.
