New tri-clamps each came with a silicone gasket. I am new to tri-clamps. Should I order some spare gaskets for back-up, or should each gasket last for a good long time?
Thanks for your response. Trying to get all of my ducks in a row and fitting my conical for tri-clamps for first use.My $0.02:
Like all gaskets they have a lifetime, but it's long, probably 5 years or more depending on how often you brew.
Good to have a few extra on hand for the occasional unanticipated failure, but no need to have a complete replacement set at the ready.
How many NPT connections do you have on that fermenter? I ask because even if you use an NPT to Triclamp adaptor, you still have threads that will likely need cleaned every batch. Just throwing that out there.Thanks for your response. Trying to get all of my ducks in a row and fitting my conical for tri-clamps for first use.
