Tri-Clamp Fittings and Adapters
Connect piping, hoses and equipment interfaces across your liquid cooling loop. Explore clamp connections and thread adapters for AI data centers, CDU assemblies and fluid distribution systems.
Choose the Connection Your Cooling Loop Needs
Start with the mating interface, then review dimensions, sealing, materials and operating conditions.
Tri-Clamp Fittings
Clamp-style connections for piping, hose assemblies and equipment interfaces that need accessible assembly and maintenance. Match the ferrules, clamp and gasket as a complete connection.

Thread Adapters
Adapters for connecting different thread and sealing interfaces between equipment ports, piping and hoses. Specify both ends of the connection to establish the correct transition.

- Sealing Methods
- Thread, O-ring or flare-seat sealing by interface
- Material
- SS 304, SS 316/316L
- Documentation
- Material and inspection records by project
Listed ranges vary by series. Confirm the selected part, gasket or seal, mating interface and complete assembly for your operating conditions. Send your drawing or existing part number for review.
Verify the Interface Before Ordering
A matching nominal size alone does not establish connection compatibility.
| Selection Item | Tri-Clamp Fittings | Thread Adapters |
|---|---|---|
| Mating interface | Ferrule outside diameter, face geometry and clamp type | Thread standard, pitch, gender and sealing seat on both ends |
| Dimensions | Tube outside diameter, bore and installation length | Port size, passage bore and clearance for assembly |
| Sealing | Gasket profile and material compatibility | Thread seal, bonded seal, O-ring or flare seat as applicable |
| Materials | Wetted material, surface finish and gasket specification | Body material, finish and seal specification |
| Operating conditions | Coolant composition, flow, pressure, temperature and service requirements for the complete connection | |
| Documentation | Drawing, existing part number, quantity and required inspection records | |
Connection Transitions Across the Cooling Loop
CDU Interfaces
Review transitions between equipment ports, service connections and the surrounding piping assembly.
Manifold & Piping Assemblies
Coordinate branch interfaces, mainline connections and installation clearances with your layout.
Hose & Maintenance Connections
Specify both mating ends and choose an accessible arrangement for assembly, inspection and servicing.
Tri-Clamp Fittings and Adapters FAQ
What should I send for a tri-clamp fitting selection?
Send the ferrule dimensions, tube size, connection drawing, coolant, operating conditions and gasket requirements.
Can adapters connect different thread standards?
An adapter can provide a transition when the threads and sealing interfaces on both ends are correctly specified. Send the complete port details for review.
Are all fittings with the same nominal size interchangeable?
No. Compare thread or ferrule geometry, sealing surfaces and dimensions against the mating components.
What pressure and temperature ratings apply?
Use the specifications of the selected part and complete assembly. The body, clamp, gasket or seal and mating components must be reviewed together.
How do I request a quote?
Provide connection details for both ends, material requirements, operating conditions, quantity and any available drawings.
