Why Tri-Clamp? (The Upgrade You Feel Immediately) 🧼
More Sanitary Connections
Tri-Clamp fittings use smooth, gasketed clamp connections—easy to break down, clean, and reassemble. Great for fermentation, beverage transfer, and any process where cleanliness matters.
Fast Disassembly = Faster Cleaning
No fighting sticky threads. No wrestling fittings. Pop a clamp, rinse, sanitize, and you’re back in business.
Modular + Expandable
Build your system your way: add elbows, tees, sight glasses, sampling ports, hoses, quick disconnects, pumps, or other TC accessories using standard gaskets + clamps.
Full-Port Flow Control
Smooth, unrestricted flow that’s easier on transfers and faster for dumping/cleaning.

FAQ
Is this worth it if I already own a fermenter?
Yes—this is one of the biggest “quality-of-life” upgrades: easier cleaning, faster breakdown, and a more sanitary connection system.
Do Tri-Clamps leak?
When assembled correctly with a clean gasket and properly seated clamp, Tri-Clamp connections are extremely reliable and widely used in sanitary systems.
Can I expand this setup later?
Absolutely. That’s the point: Tri-Clamp is modular. Add TC accessories using additional gaskets and clamps as your process evolves.
