Sanitary Butterfly Valve With Pull Handle Stainless Steel 304 Tri Clamp Clover 2.5 Inch Tube OD Heavy Duty Reliable Temperature Range 15°F To 200°F 1.6 MPa Max Pressure Great For Beverages And Homebrewing

Engineered for serious homebrewers and beverage operations, this Sanitary Butterfly Valve With Pull Handle combines robust 304 stainless steel with a clean, clamp-friendly design. The 2.5-inch tri-clamp Clover connection and 77.5 mm ferrule size make it a reliable cornerstone for any beverage line, fermentation setup, or cold brew system that demands sanitary integrity and hard-wearing performance.

Key specifications at a glance

• Tube OD: 2.5 inches
• Ferrule size: 77.5 mm
• Fits 2.5 inch Tri-Clamp connections
• Material: 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and food-grade safety
• Temperature range: 15°F to 200°F (−9.4°C to 93.3°C)
• Max pressure: 1.6 MPa (approximately 232 psi)
• 100% pressure hydraulic tested for reliability
• Pull-style handle with three-position capability for precise control

What makes it stand out

• Three-position pull handle: The intuitive pull-and-turn action lets you lock the valve in three distinct positions, fully closed, intermediate, and fully open, so you can isolate, drain, or flow with confidence without fumbling with external levers or knobs.
• Sanitary, clamp-friendly design: The 2.5" tri-clamp connection and Clover-style ferrule deliver a secure, leak-minimizing seal that's easy to disassemble for routine cleaning and CIP (clean-in-place) cycles.
• Heavy-duty, food-grade construction: 304 stainless steel resists corrosion from beverage acids and cleaning solvents, ensuring long life in beer brewing, wine making, dairy, and other liquid applications.
• Certified reliability: Every valve is hydro-tested to verify seal integrity under pressure, reducing the risk of leaks in critical processing or dispensing lines.

Ideal applications

• Homebrewing rigs and craft beer lines requiring sanitary, easy-to-clean valves
• Wine, cider, and mead production piping where cleanability and corrosion resistance matter
• Dairy, juice, and other beverage systems that benefit from quick isolation and CIP readiness
• Any 2.5" tri-clamp sanitary piping system that needs a durable, reliable control valve

Why choose this valve over alternatives

• It pairs a robust 304 stainless body with a user-friendly pull-position mechanism, simplifying operation in busy brewing or dispensing environments.
• The precise three-position control reduces guesswork during transfers, drainage, and CIP cycles, saving time and minimizing waste.
• The combination of hydraulic testing and a clamp-friendly sanitary interface translates to fewer surprises during installation and maintenance.

Practical tips for best results

• Use compatible gaskets and clamps designed for 2.5" tri-clamp systems to ensure a clean, secure seal.
• During cleaning, disassemble as needed to thoroughly inspect the seal surfaces and interior passages; the 304 stainless body handles repeated CIP cycles well.
• When transitioning liquids between batches, leverage the three-position handle to minimize splash and maintain sanitary lines.
• Inspect the valve after heavy cleaning or thermal cycling; look for any signs of wear on the sealing surfaces and replace gaskets as needed.

This valve is a purpose-built choice for anyone who takes beverage preparation, homebrewing, or small-scale production seriously. With its durable stainless construction, precise three-position pull operation, and secure tri-clamp compatibility, it delivers reliable performance today and for many batches to come.
