This is a 1" Bore Ball Valve 'Kit'. 

This kit comes with everything you need to connect the ball valve to your existing system.

Parts list for this kit are as follows:

• (1) 1" Bore Ball Valve with 1.5" Tri Clamp Fittings
• (2) 1.5" Single Hinge Tri Clamps
• (2) 1.5" Silicone Gaskets

This ball valve has a 1" bore, with 1.5" tri clamp fittings on each end. Ball valves are used to control flow rates, and are best used on pump outlets and vessle returns like mash tun sparge or vorlauf returns. 

The tri clamps are single hinge, and are used to connect two 1.5" tri clamp style connections. The tri clamps are rated for a maximum of 300 psi @ 250° F. 

Both the ball valve and tri clamps are made from 304 food grade stainless steel, and meet all of today's sanitary standards. 

The gaskets included in this kit are peroxide cured silicone gaskets, which are great for long term sealing at high temperatures. They are alcohol resistant and will not leach into alcohol or change the flavor in any way.

DETERMINING TRI CLAMP SIZE

Tri Clamp sizes are determined by the outer diameter of the pipe or tubing, not the outer diameter of the flange or Tri Clamp itself. The flange of a Tri Clamp fitting typically has about a ½” inch greater diameter than the outside diameter of the pipe. This can become especially confusing when the Tri Clamp fitting has no pipe attached to it, as is the case with adapters, For instance, a 1.5" Tri Clamp to 1/2" hose barb adapter is not 1.5" inches in any dimension, but the Tri Clamp end will fit any other 1.5" Tri Clamp fitting. 

If you have any doubts about what size Tri Clamp fittings your project needs, simply measure the outside diameter of the flange (dimension "B" below) and consult the chart below, or feel free to contact us .
