When installing Tri-Clover fitting, the connections should not have any threads. While some TC fittings have threads, using Tri-Clover clamps and gaskets are preferred for a truly sanitary environment. Moreover, there should not be any abrupt changes within the internal diameter. If you need to reduce a 3" Tri-Clover fitting to a smaller size TC you will need a Tri-Clover Concentric Reducer, this piece of hardware will provide a gradual taper between the two Tri-Clover diameters.
At Ontario Beer Kegs, we have the clamps and gaskets needed when using Tri-Clover fittings. Homebrewing equipment and hardware have changed over the years and you will now see that ball valves, extension tubes, wort chillers, pumps and spray balls and more may be purchased with Tri-Clover fittings, plus, most advanced brewing kettles now feature TC fittings.
