As I understand it, the whole idea with tri-clover is sanitation, not having nooks and crannies where gunk can build up. Which is why folks here say that using NPT to Tri-Clover adapters defeats the point - the threads are not sanitary.
What about hoses? If you use a tri-clover to hose barb adapter, aren't you having the same problem where the hose meets the barbs? Is there a solution for this (other than using pipes for everything, which isn't always practical)?
