Sanitary Fittings & Connections

A full line of sanitary connections, manufactured from ASME-certified materials and ready to ship.

Sanitary Tank Fittings and Sanitary Connections

Tank Components Industries manufactures a complete line of sanitary fittings and connections for hygienic processing systems used across the pharmaceutical, biotech, food, and beverage industries. From ferrule clamps and tapered ferrules to caps, weld sockets, and gaskets, we stock the sanitary connections most projects need and fabricate custom configurations when your system calls for something specific.

Stainless Steel Sanitary Fittings Engineered for Clean Processing

Every sanitary connection we produce is manufactured from ASME-certified material, including 316/316L stainless steel and exotic alloys such as Hastelloy®, AL6XN, Duplex 2205, and Inconel®. That range lets you match each stainless steel sanitary fitting to your operating pressure, temperature, and chemical-compatibility requirements. Standard components ship with a smooth 30 Ra finish on the inside and outside to support cleanability, and PED-compliant materials are available wherever regulatory documentation is required. We hold a wide selection of stock lengths and produce special lengths and wall thicknesses on request.

A Full Range of Sanitary Connections and Ferrules

From ferrules and caps to clamps, gaskets, and weld sockets, our sanitary connections cover the components processing systems rely on most — many available from ½″ through 12″. Browse the full range below.

Aseptic TCI ClampConnects® and BoltConnects®

Our patented TCI ClampConnects® and TCI BoltConnects® stand apart from standard sanitary fittings with an aseptic design that minimizes dead leg and supports a cleaner processing environment. By reducing dead space, both connections make steam-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) faster and more dependable. TCI ClampConnects® secures with a standard ferrule clamp, so installation and maintenance require no special tools — and there are no acorn nuts or studs to lose or cross-thread. Both are offered in stainless steel and nickel alloys with the same 30 Ra finish and ASME materials as the rest of our line.

Gasket Options for Every Application

The right gasket keeps your connection sealed and compliant. We supply silicone (PC and PC Class VI), EPDM (white, black, or Class VI), Viton® (white or black), and Teflon® envelope gaskets with EPDM or Viton™ inserts, so you can match the material to your process media, temperature, and certification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are sanitary fittings used for?

Sanitary fittings connect, seal, cap, and adapt the tubing in hygienic processing systems where cleanliness is critical — most often in pharmaceutical, biotech, food, beverage, and cosmetic production.

What materials are sanitary fittings made from?

Ours are manufactured from 316/316L stainless steel and exotic alloys including Hastelloy®, AL6XN, Duplex 2205, and Inconel®, all from ASME-certified material with PED options available.

What sizes of sanitary ferrules and connections do you stock?

Sizing varies by product. Many lines, including ferrule gaskets, light and heavy wall ferrules, and ferrule caps, are stocked from ½″ up to 12″, while others cover a narrower range. Tapered ferrules, for example, are typically offered up to 6″. Special lengths, wall thicknesses, and custom designs are available on request.

How are TCI ClampConnects® different from a standard ferrule?

A standard ferrule leaves dead space at the connection, while TCI ClampConnects® significantly reduces that dead space and assembles with a standard clamp and gasket — no tools required — for easier SIP and CIP.

Do your sanitary fittings come with certifications?

Material certifications are available to confirm traceability and quality, and PED-compliant documentation can be provided when your application requires it.
