Description
Our Stainless Steel Tri-Clamp x Schedule 40 Butt-Weld Adapter is a high-quality, sanitary fitting designed to connect a Tri-Clamp end to a Schedule 40 pipe via butt-weld.
This adapter is ideal for integrating sanitary processing lines with standard industrial piping, providing a smooth and reliable transition between systems.
Made from 316L stainless steel, this adapter offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and cleanability. The butt-weld end allows for a strong, flush connection to Schedule 40 pipe, while the Tri-Clamp end ensures a quick, secure, and hygienic connection point for sanitary applications.
This hybrid fitting helps streamline fluid handling systems by reducing the need for multiple transition parts and minimizing potential leak points.
Uses:
Food and beverage processing
Brewery and distillery systems
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Biotech and laboratory applications
Dairy and fermentation processes
Filtration and fluid transport systems
Steam and CIP (clean-in-place) systems
And more

304 vs. 316L Stainless Steel
304 and 316L stainless steels appear visually identical, but have distinct performance characteristics.
304 stainless steel contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it suitable for kitchen applications and indoor environments. It performs well under normal conditions but becomes vulnerable to corrosion when exposed to salt or harsh chemicals. This makes it the more economical option for standard uses where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.
316L stainless steel contains 2-3% molybdenum in addition to chromium and nickel, providing superior corrosion resistance, especially against saltwater and chemicals. Furthermore, 316L has a lower carbon content than 316, increasing corrosion resistance and making it ideal for welding. While it commands a higher price point than 304, it is recommended for outdoor marine environments and food processing applications involving salt.
304 is useful for some standard applications, but for the highest level of durability and harsh environments or saltwater exposure, the additional investment in 316L stainless steel is justified for long-term success.
