Q: can you push gas (oxygen) through this? What is minimum pressure requirement?
A: It is possible and some customers have used fittings like this in the past. The tri-clamp fittings are leakproof and cracking
pressures, dependent upon the size of the valve, are located lower down on this page.
Q: For the 1.5" tri-clamp. What size and type of gasket is used to join the two halves?
A: Our sanitary fitting sizes are universal. So for the 1 1/2" Tri-Clamp Fittings, you would choose the 1 1/2" Tri-Clamp Gasket
size.
Q:What materials are the internals for this Tri-Clamp Check Valve (stopper, o-ring, spring, spider disk)?
A:The O-Ring gasket is made of viton. All other components are 316 Stainless Steel.
Q:We need to autoclave this which is 250F, spec says max temp is 200F - can this be made autoclavable?
A: The valve you are looking for would most likely need to be designed for autoclave. The valves we offer are not designed in such a
manner. I'm sorry that we cannot be of more assistance for this one.
Q: Can we get a different o-ring than viton? We need compatibility for hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.
A: We do offer alternative o-rings for the Tri-Clamp Check Valve. Please call us for more information.
Q: Are these check valves suitable for both vertical and horizontal installations?
A: Yes, these tri-clamp check valves can be used in both vertical and horizontal installations. Please verify cracking pressure along
with liquid weight which will impact the opening of check valve.
Q: What is the largest OD of the valve with the clamp used in the center?
A: I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but the largest outside diameter tri clamp check valve that we offer is 6".
Please call or email for additional information.
Q: What material is the green O-ring gasket in the check valve?
A: The O-Ring gasket in this clamp check valve is made up of Viton. Viton is a brand of synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer
commonly used in O-rings, chemical-resistant gloves, and other molded or extruded goods. Viton fluoroelastomers are categorized
under the ASTM D1418 and ISO 1629 designation of FKM.
Q: What is the overall length of this for 2"?
A: The 2" clamp check valve measures in at 4.583" from head to toe. For other sizes and dimensions please consult our sizing chart
found on the product page.
