Tri-Clamp Swept-Branch Curve Tee

Swept-Branch Tri-Clamp Flow Geometry

The Tri-Clamp curve tee combines a straight through-run with a sweeping 90-degree radiused branch leg. Compared with a sharp right-angle tee, the curved branch path guides liquids, viscous products, or CIP solutions into or out of the main line with gentler directional change and lower impingement.

Sanitary Tri-Clover ferrules on all three ends allow quick mechanical assembly, gasket inspection, and straightforward line reconfiguration across modular process headers.

316L Stainless Steel & Dimension Chart

Offered in five nominal tubing sizes: 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" (SKUs PF-FE7CT-150 through PF-FE7CT-400). All five SKU variants and the structured material selector specify Stainless Steel 316L, while the general body text mentions Stainless Steel 316.

According to the Curve Tee dimension drawing, characteristic dimension A progresses from 3.85" on the 1-1/2" size to 4.92" (2"), 5.81" (2-1/2"), 6.7" (3"), and 8.18" on the 4" size.

Flow Direction & Spool Planning

Orient the swept radius toward the intended branch takeoff or return flow direction, and account for the asymmetric branch offset and dimension A envelope when laying out adjacent pipe supports and clamp clearances.

Pair all three equal ferrules with matching Tri-Clamp gaskets and heavy-duty clamps sized for the selected 1-1/2" to 4" tube diameter.
