Sanitary tri-clamp flanged gaskets are used to make a secure, leak-proof connection between clamp fittings.
A variety of materials are available for selection depending upon medium used inline processing. Gaskets range in size from 1" - 12".
If you would like a copy of a gaskets certificate, please ask for them at the time of order. Certificates are specific per lot of gaskets. Much like a heat number for fittings, gaskets have what is called a lot number. We don’t log these numbers at the time of order but we do include them on the packaging if you need the certificate after receiving them.
Please see Compound Selection Guide for compatibility information.
