Non Metallic Clamps

Non Metallic Clamps

Non Metallic Clamps are great for non metal sanitary hose connections

Rubber Fab’s Non Metallic sanitary hinge clamp is specifically designed for use on non metal to non metal connections!

  • Constructed of non metallic fiberglass reinforced nylon.
  • Accepts sanitary ferrules according to BS 4825, ISO 2852 and Tri-Clover® Standards.
  • Will not cause distortion in non metallic ferrules, as will stainless steel clamps during high operating temperatures and sterilization. Less weight than stainless steel clamps.
  • Use where reduction of weight and reduced thermal conductivity transfer is of importance.
  • Use on non metallic to non-metallic, non metallic to metallic and metallic to metallic sanitary mechanical joints.
