How to Choose a Ferrule
Tri-Clamp ferrules are available in a variety of options to suit your specific application needs. All ferrules available from Sanitary Fittings still retain the common tri-clamp connection, however, there are certain elements for each fitting that make it unique. The following is a list of tri-clamp ferrules we offer:
Tri-Clamp Long Ferrule
Tri-Clamp Short Ferrule
Roll-On Expanding Ferrule
The roll-on ferrule is unique to the rest of the ferrules in that it is meant to slide over existing tube and then be welded into place. All other ferrules are butt-welded meaning the ends of both tubes match up to each other with the exact same dimensions for welding. The term “slide” probably isn’t the best way to describe how this fitting connects to existing tube lines. A special tool is required to put this fitting in place before it is welded.

Tri-Clamp Reducing Ferrule
The tri-clamp reducing ferrule is used in applications where tube dimensions change sizes. The functionality of this fitting is much the same as our Tri-Clamp Concentric Reducers, however, this fitting is much shorter in overall length.
All the ferrules may proessing with the serration according to the requirement.
