Flat “Half Gasket”

for Sanke Keg to 2” Tri Clover / Tri  Clamp Connection

Food Grade Silicone

 

This “Half Gasket” is different from a standard “Full Gasket” in the following way:

A “Full Gasket” has “ribs”  that fit into the groove cut-outs of a Tri Clover connection. This groove will  be on BOTH of the items you are connecting.

A “Half Gasket” has only  ONE “rib”. The other side is completely smooth and flat.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Although a Sanke Keg can  be connected to distilling columns, etc. using 2 inch Tri Clover fittings, the  keg neck DOES NOT have a groove cut into it.

More importantly:  Due to the thickness of the flange in the Sanke keg’s neck it is very difficult  to get a Tri-Clover clamp to fit around the neck, the “Full Gasket”, and the  flange of the column.

Even if you DO somehow  manage to squish the connection together there is a strong likelihood of leaks,  and of eventual failure of the gasket.
