Advantage | Benefit |
|---|---|
Superior Flexibility | Three-segment design allows installation and removal in confined spaces or cases of pipe misalignment |
Higher Pressure Ratings | Delivers higher service pressure ratings than traditional 2-piece hinge clamps |
Even Clamping Force | Minimizes gasket wear, extends gasket life, and prevents leaks |
Hygienic Design | Smooth, crevice-free interiors inhibit bacterial growth and facilitate effective CIP cleaning |
OEM Compatibility | Precision-engineered for seamless integration with existing Tri-Clover® / Tri-Clamp systems |
The 13MHHS Three Segment Clamp operates on a simple yet highly effective principle:
Positioning – Place a sanitary gasket between two Tri-Clamp ferrule ends.
Engagement – Fit the three segments of the clamp around the ferrules, aligning them over the gasket.
Tightening – Turn the wing nut to compress the three segments evenly around the connection.
Sealing – The compression forces the gasket against the ferrule faces, creating a reliable, leak-tight seal.
⚠️ Note: Do not over-tighten the wing nut. Recommended torque is 25 in/lb for optimal sealing without damaging the gasket or clamp.
Premium Material – Made from virgin-grade 304 stainless steel, not lower-grade alloys, ensuring long service life and consistent performance.
Precision Casting – Three-stage precision casting structure guarantees dimensional accuracy and perfect fit-.
Maximum Flexibility – Outperforms single-pin and double-pin designs in flexibility and ease of use.
Reduced Downtime – Wing nut design enables rapid assembly and disassembly, minimizing production interruptions-.
Global Compatibility – Designed to 3A sanitary standards, compatible with all major Tri-Clamp / Tri-Clover fitting systems worldwide.
Cost-Effective – Competitive pricing without compromising on quality – the ideal balance of performance and value.
Q: What materials is the 13MHHS Three Segment Clamp made of?
A: The clamp is manufactured from T304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and structural rigidity.
Q: What sizes are available?
A: Available for tube OD sizes ranging from 1" to 6", including 1.5", 2", 2.5", 3", and 4".
Q: What is the maximum pressure rating?
A: Pressure ratings vary by size: 1-1.5" up to 600 psi, 2" up to 550 psi, 3" up to 350 psi, and 4" up to 250 psi at 70°F.
Q: Do I need a gasket with this clamp?
A: Yes. A sanitary gasket must be placed between the two ferrule ends to ensure a proper fit and secure, leak-proof seal.
Q: Can this clamp be used in high-temperature applications?
A: Yes. The 304 stainless steel construction performs well at elevated temperatures. Pressure ratings decrease at higher temperatures – refer to the specification sheet for details.
Q: What industries use the 13MHHS Three Segment Clamp?
A: Widely used in food & beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, bioprocessing, chemical, and cosmetic industries.
