Description
Nalgene™ PVDF true union clamps are laboratory fittings intended for repeated, reliable sealing of carboys. This Tri Clover style clamp uses PVDF construction together with silicone gaskets and end caps to create a secure union connection on compatible vessels. The grip size is 3 in, matching sanitary and process-style carboy interfaces of that nominal dimension. Designed for use with Nalgene sanitary carboys and Nalgene autoclavable carboys fitted with a spigot, the clamp supports routine opening, closing and resealing cycles without sacrificing seal integrity when correctly assembled. Supplied as one piece per pack from manufacturer Thermo Scientific (Nalgene laboratory plastics), it is a practical accessory for media, buffer and reagent carboys in microbiology, bioprocess support and general laboratory fluid handling. Gross weight is 0,272 kg. Specifying a dedicated true union clamp helps standardise carboy closures and maintain consistent sealing performance across repeated use.

Questions about Nalgene™ PVDF True Union Clamps
What is this article?
Nalgene™ PVDF True Union Clamps is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics for laboratory use. It sits in Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A hose connector or adapter joins two lines, or steps one bore down to another. The barb diameter has to match the tube, and the thread has to match the stopcock or the bottle. Most leaks are a mismatch here, not a hole in the tube.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
