Description
The Tri Clamp fittings can be confusing for those not familiar with them, but if you remember these few simple guidelines working with and sizing them will be a much easier task:
1. Tri Clamp is the common name for sanitary fittings with a clamp end ferrule
2. Tri Clamp size is determined by the OD (outside diameter) of the tubing, not the diameter of the ferrule flange
3. For smaller OD tubing (1/2" & 3/4") and (1" & 1.5"), the Tri Clamp ferrules sizes are combined for each pair
4. Compatible sizes can be joined directly, but different OD tubes will affect flow; also always use the larger gasket size
5. Please double check everything to avoid errors in ordering and assembly
