How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

High-Polish Metal Quick-Clamp Sanitary Tube Fittings
- Temperature Range: See Gaskets
The smooth finish inside these fittings makes it easy to remove product residue. Also known as aseptic and tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a gasket, a clamp, and another quick-clamp fitting for a fast and easy way to access your line. The pressure rating of the fitting will vary depending on the clamp you choose, and the temperature rating will vary based on the gasket material you choose.
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a clamp, and a gasket (all sold separately).

- For Use With: Air, Beverage, Food, Water
- Tubing: Use with welded 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel that meets ASTM A269 or ASTM 270
Expand-to-connect fittings are also known as nonrecess or roll-on ferrules. To connect, insert metal tubing into the fitting and use an expansion tool (sold separately) to press the tubing into the fitting wall.

Clamps with wing nut tighten by hand. Clamps with bolt tighten with a wrench. They handle higher pressures than wing-nut clamps for a stronger, more secure hold.

Buna-N gaskets are oil resistant. EPDM gaskets resist water and steam and work well in humid environments. Silicone gaskets withstand high temperatures. Fluoroelastomer gaskets stand up to fuel, oil, and acid condensates. PTFE gaskets withstand harsh chemicals, with the exception of molten alkali metal and elemental fluorine.

Screw-On Hose Fittings for Air and Water
The female connector screws directly onto rubber hose without the need for a separate adapter. You’ll need a female connector (ferrule) and a male adapter (stem) with the same hose ID to make a connection. Screw the female connector onto hose, then thread the male adapter into the female connector. When assembled, the fitting compresses against the hose, forming a strong seal. Also known as reusable fittings, they can be unscrewed from the hose end and used on a new hose.
303 stainless steel fittings have better corrosion resistance than brass fittings.
