Change 3 piece valve to tri-clamp

[Dailyj38]

I am in the process of converting to electric brewing and notice that a lot of electric brewers use tri-clamp's. I have 3 piece valves on my kettles now, does anyone know if or has found a way to change the ends of a 3 piece valve to T/C insead just threading in a T/C. I would like to change to T/C everywhere I can, but I dont want to buy all new valves..... Is there a way to change just the ends of the valve out? I have been looking and cant seem to find them, I am hoping that someone has done it and can shed some light on my search. I am trying to avoid buying a screw in T/C, but if that is the only way, that is what i shall do.

Thank you!

You will have a hard time just changing out the flanges.
These valves are only $10 so finding replacement parts will be nearly impossible.
Norcal and Brewhardware like to make custom parts, you can hit them up.

Also the threaded tri-clover fittings cost as much or more than your valves.
If you want total TC fittings, your best bet is to replace the valves and sell the old ones.
These EZ clean valves look neat:
