Stainless Steel 304 1.5" 3-Way Tri-Clamp U-Bend | USA Lab
This SS304 1.5" 3-Way Tri-Clamp U-Bend delivers a smooth turning radius that minimizes fluid friction and helps prevent turbulence or product hang-up. It is commonly used where an air lock is desired or for creative venting solutions when inverted with perf screens.
Manufactured from sanitary 304 stainless steel with Tri-Clamp ferrules, the U-bend integrates seamlessly with standard 1.5" sanitary process lines. Its polished interior promotes cleanability and consistent flow in beverage, biotech, lab, and general processing applications.
Typical use cases include looped returns, CIP tie-ins, condensate traps, and inverted air vents similar to the way electrical conduits rise into outdoor U-bends.
