New Pure-Fit® TCL accommodates large diameter and thick wall tubing applications. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has expanded its line of innovative tube clamps with the introduction of the new Pure-Fit® TCL large tube clamp. Compatible with standard, braided (reinforced) and multilayer tubing up to 2 O.D., Pure-Fit® TCL provides complete fluid stoppage and can also be utilized in the flow position. The device features an integral bore hole for absolute lock-out capabilities.
