Tri clamp size? Pls help.

[rushpapers]

I bought a variable capacity wine tank which is missing a sample valve. I'd like to order a sample valve but am unfamiliar with the size. Can anybody identify the correct size from the photos below?

I've never used a micrometer to measure that type fitting but I'm inclined to think it is a 3 inch tri clamp. I do know my brewing equipment fittings go by the dimensions of the connection flanges. I am however concerned as yours appears to be a bit larger than 3 inches. Wait to see what others post.

Tri Clamp Dimensions & Sizes | Illustrated Guide has a pretty good guide.. It looks like this is between sizes though so 1" If you can find it?
Those are inches on the bottom?

Looks like a 34mm/0.75", to me.

34mm is the OD of the ferrul.
I am finding it difficult to locate the sample valve and correct clamp. Any suggestions on a supplier?

Yeah, I saw that, but the Chinese are difficult to deal with. The shipping time is unknown, the quality could be horrible and there's no recourse if it is. I'd rather buy a product made in the USA or Europe, and from a USA based supplier in case there's a problem.

If you need something that can handle pressure, you'll be a bit limited. I wouldn't want to hang a butterfly valve off a 34mm TC ferrule. If it doesn't need to be pressure rated, I'd go for something like Blichmann G2 valve with a 1/2" male NPT to 0.75" TC ferrule.

No significant pressure.

It's a 1000 Liter variable capacity tank. Not pressurized.

It would help to have a small valve to draw off 4 oz here and there.
