1.5" Tri-Clamp Sample Valve with 1/2" Hose Barb
$64.00
Sanitary, controlled sampling for professional brewing and beverage production.
This stainless steel sample valve is engineered for clean, repeatable liquid sampling from fermenters, brite tanks, and process vessels equipped with a 1.5" tri-clamp port. Designed for production environments, it enables precise sample pulls for gravity readings, sensory evaluation, and quality control—without opening the vessel or compromising process integrity.
The 1/2" hose barb outlet allows direct connection to tubing for controlled sample collection, reducing splashing and limiting oxygen exposure. The compact body and knurled actuation knob provide confident operation in wet, gloved conditions typical of brewing and beverage facilities.
Key Advantages
- True sanitary integration – 1.5" tri-clamp inlet ensures secure, gasketed installation on standard sanitary ports.
- Controlled sample draws – Smooth manual actuation allows accurate, repeatable sampling volumes.
- Reduced oxygen ingress – Enables closed-vessel sampling compared to lid removal or port disassembly.
- Direct tubing connection – 1/2" hose barb outlet supports clean routing into sample containers.
- Production-ready construction – Stainless steel body built for frequent cleaning and routine QC use.
