3" Tri-Clamp Beaded Silicone Seal

Replacement silicone seal for 3" sanitary tri-clover fittings. 3 inch tri-clover fittings are used on commercial brewing equipment, professional brewing equipment and high end home brewing units, particularly around large dup valves like those found in Tri-Conical Fermzillas. Each side of this silicone gasket is beaded, with both sides having a ridge around the entire circumference. This ensures the gasket stays seated between two tri-clover ferrules with the corresponding valleys and isn't dislodged or misaligned which can leakage or a seal to fail. Silicone has several properties that make it ideal for brewing applications including: - Resistance to crinkling and wrinkling - Low chemical reactivity, silicone is extremely chemically resistant - Thermal stability, Silicone can handle temperature ranges from -100 to 250℃ - Ability to form watertight seals - Doesn't support microbiological growth - Low toxicity - Doesn't stick to substrates with the exception of glass
