TC Clamps
What are TC Clamps?
TC Clamps, also known as Tri-Clover clamps, are quick-release sanitary fittings used to securely join two ferrule ends in a Tri-Clover assembly. Designed for high hygiene environments, these clamps provide a tight, leak-proof seal in processing lines handling food, beverages, dairy, and pharmaceuticals. Their tool-free assembly and disassembly make them a preferred choice for systems that demand frequent cleaning and maintenance.
Asiad Steel Industries is a leading supplier of premium TC Clamps, trusted by process industries for delivering durable, corrosion-resistant, and precision-engineered connections.

Do you have questions?
Can TC clamps withstand high-pressure systems?
Standard clamps are suitable for moderate pressure. For high-pressure systems, use heavy-duty or bolted clamps.
What gasket types are compatible with TC clamps?
TC clamps work with EPDM, silicone, PTFE, and Viton gaskets depending on the application.
Are TC clamps reusable?
Yes. With proper handling and no deformation, they can be reused multiple times.
Are custom clamp sizes available?
Absolutely. We offer custom clamps for non-standard ferrule assemblies upon request.
