  • “Converting Female NPT to 1.5 Tri Clamp”

    Posted by wayward on August 10, 2015 at 12:41 am

    Hey all,

    I’m looking for a handful of 2″ female npt to 1.5″ tri-clamp adapters.

    Anyone have a lead on some of these or have some lying around?

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Try McMaster Carr. They seem to have most everything.

    I checked Brewers Hardware. I was wrong. It was 2″ male npt to 1.5 tri clamp.

    James: I need three in total.

    NavenJohnson: I tried that site and couldn’t find any triclamp at all.

    glaciertanks.com has them

    If they do, its not on their website. They have 2″ female NPT to 2″ Tri-Clamp, but not 2″ female NPT to 1.5″ tri-clamp. (same as pretty much all the other sites) Unless James is correct and actually has some; I don’t think this fitting exists.

    Dave, I think you probably need to go 2″ to 2″ and then add a second fitting to reduce from there. That are have one custom welded together!

    Hedge: What I have now (for half my tanks) is a 2″-1.5″ F-F NPT then a 1.5″ Male npt-1.5″ triclamp

    It works, but its long, has lots of little spots for fluid pooling and leaking and costs a few bucks.

    I was hoping to minimize the number of connections and length of the adapters.

    Just buy the right parts and weld them together!

    Ship me the parts and I will weld them for you for free. Just pay for the shipping.

    Heck I probably have what you need on the shelf. We keep about $3000-$6000 of stainless parts on the shelf at any given time.

    Take Care.

    Dave,

    I’ve got 2″ TC to 2″ Male NPT and 1.5″ TC to 1.5″ Male NPT. I could have sworn I had a couple pieces of the mismatch combo, but I can’t seem to find them. If you can make either of these work let me know and I’ll send you out one. I can measure up the 1.5″ TC and see if you can cut it and weld on a 2″ ferrule (I have a bunch of those too).
