The 3C Tri-Clamp connector is easy to use: Simply press the two flange-like connector pieces against each other and fasten them together using the locking clip. A sealing ring is situated between the connector pieces to maintain a proper seal. The resulting connection is form-fit and smooth and a wing nut on the locking clip makes it easy to quickly open and close the connection at any time. The Tri-Clamp connection can be combined with a 1+, 1A or 1C flexible tube connector, a 2N pipe connector or a male thread.
