Custom Tri Clamp Tees | PuroFlow Sanitary Stainless Steel Tees
Custom sanitary tri clamp tees, 3A stainless steel tee fittings for food, beverage and pharma process piping.
Description
Tri Clamp Tees
Tri Clamp Tees (sanitary quick-install tees) are classic tee flow-diverting fittings. All three ports use standard Tri Clamp quick-connect faces, and are used with tri clamp clamps and sealing gaskets for quick disassembly and assembly.
Among them, instrument tee is a derivative of this series, with a reserved port for installing sensors, pressure gauges, sampling valves, and other instrument components.
The main body is integrally formed from 304/316L stainless steel and complies with 3A Sanitary Standard, FDA, and ASME BPE cleanliness specifications. It is widely used in clean fluid piping in food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, bioengineering, and other industries, and supports CIP/SIP online cleaning and sterilization.

Structural Features
Equal-diameter tee structure: The inner diameters of the three ports are identical, fluid diversion and merging are smooth, and there are no dead angles or retention areas inside.
Instrument Tee instrument port optional: A reserved instrument mounting position can be provided at the side port, suitable for transmitters, temperature probes, and sampling assemblies, without additional welding adapters.
Full quick-connect design: All ports can be quickly opened, facilitating internal inspection and cleaning of the piping.
Standardized faces: Interchangeable with tri clamp fittings of the same series, simple on-site assembly.
Typical Application Scenarios
Main line diversion in food and beverage and dairy production lines
Pharmaceutical purified water and biopharmaceutical process piping
Online sampling, temperature and pressure monitoring points (instrument tee)
Craft beer and daily chemical clean fluid transfer sanitary piping
Selection Notes
Distinguish equal-diameter Tri Clamp Tee from Tri Clamp Reducing Tee: Choose this model if all three ports are the same size; if port diameters are different and reducing diversion is required, choose the Reducing Tee page product.
Instrument requirements: If sensors or sampling ports need to be installed, confirm the instrument tee port specifications first.
Polish grade: Choose Ra0.8μm for ordinary transfer; Ra0.4μm ultra-fine polish is recommended for high-clean pharmaceutical and bioprocess applications.
Pressure boundary: Standard models are suitable for conventional sanitary conditions; for high-pressure conditions, please choose High Pressure Tri Clamp Fittings.
Tri Clamp Tee Common FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Tri Clamp Instrument Tee and ordinary Tri Clamp Tee?
A: Instrument Tee generally has an instrument thread or small-size quick-connect port at the side port, specifically for installing detection elements; standard Tri Clamp Tee has three ports of the same diameter and is only used for fluid diversion and merging.
Q: Will the inner wall of Tri Clamp Tees retain material and be difficult to clean?
A: It is integrally stamped and formed, with smooth transitions and no sharp corners. After polishing meets the standard, it satisfies CIP/SIP cleaning requirements and is a mainstream tee solution for sanitary piping.
Q: Can tees with special angles or special connections be customized?
A: Non-standard sizes and special connection customization are supported; batch orders can be produced according to drawings.
