Description
 
The 2" Triclover (TC) weldless bulkhead flange allows you to add a TC port to any tank or kettle with absolutely no welding or soldering. Just drill a hole and tighten the locknut. Done! CAREFUL! This is the 2" version and we also have a 1.5" version on the site.

The flange measures 2.5" like all other 2" TC ferrules, and the overall length is just under 1.5". The ID is just a hair under 1-5/8" which is a bit smaller than typical 2" weld ferrules. The short length of this ferrule makes it possible to use ripple style heating elements and not have the foldback make contact with the ferrule. These are extremely high quality pieces machined out of 304SS and polished to perfection (except for the locknut which is cast finish 304SS.

The silicone O-ring is included and gets captured in a groove like our other True Bulkheads.

1/8" Max Wall Thickness.

Installation Notes:
  • Hole Size Required - 1-7/8" or 47mm. Note that the most pleasant tool to use for this is a knockout punch set. Since they are extremely cost prohibitive, the next best option is our tungsten carbide hose saw (46mm). After deburring the 46mm hole, the result is a clean 47mm hole. We do not offer a hole saw bit in this size yet as we are still looking for a source. Please find the way to make the correct hole size before you go down this road.
  • The oring contact is on the flange side of the fitting so make sure there are no burrs on that side of the hole.
  • The lock nut hex measures 2-9/32" or 58mm. Turning it with an adjustable wrench does NOT work well. You'll need a socket or a box wrench or maybe some very large channel locks.
  • The front of the flange does not have flats for a wrench. The easiest way to hold the front of the flange for tightening is to clamp any other TC part on with the gasket and clamp (a blank cap works great). Once tight, you can insert a long rod or screw driver into the hole of the wingnut.

We've tested this on a pot measuring as small as 14" in diameter. Anything smaller may work but we don't know for sure. Larger diameters or flat areas are no issue at all.

5 of 5 Exactly what I was looking for July 5, 2022
Reviewer: Will Schmit from Albuquerque, NM United States  
I needed this to go between a commercial boiler and the rest of my TC2" hardware.  It worked perfectly.  All of the hardware I have gotten from them works perfectly...

2 of 5 Do not buy this pure Junk. October 16, 2021
Reviewer: CH from Colorado  
The description says this takes a 1 5/8in or 47mm, hole. So  I used a USA made Greenlee pull punch and this would not fit in the hole. I could not thread it in to that size hole.  So I used a 48mm pull punch to enlarge the hole now the worthless little soft silicone gasket will not seal, it leaks like crazy. Being an experienced machinist. Have learned with Chinese junk parts, I am ordering some PTFE round stock and will machine a large firm gasket fo both the inside and out to seal this. I should have just ordered a weld in 2” ferrule and TIG welded it


BrewHardware.com response: We all but beg customers to contact us with any product concerns before posting a negative review to give us the courtesy of making it right but you didn't do that. What's worse is that you read the instructions incorrectly and blame the product for the mistake. The instructions clearly state 1-7/8 or 47mm. You first tried a 1-5/8 (wrong) and then widened the hole to 48mm (wrong). As an experienced machinist, I would expect A) that you understand the difference between 1-5/8 and 1-7/8. B) that you know the difference between 47mm and 48mm. and C) that this piece was impeccably CNC machined.

If you had called, we also would have attempted to troubleshoot the install for you anyway. For example, you didn't purchase the 58mm socket so I don't know if the methods you were trying to use would have yielded enough tightening to compress the gasket to the radius of the kettle. We also don't know what radius that kettle is.

Yes, we agree that TIG welding a ferrule is a better choice than a weldless fitting if you have that option available to you.

5 of 5 Absolutely Perfect! March 5, 2020
Reviewer: Doug from Springville , NY United States  
I have a 15.5 Gallon size keggle from American Keg Co.  and I needed to add a 5500 watt heating element for boiling but didn’t want the expensive cost of hiring a sanitary welder. I drilled a perfect 1 7/8” hole, de-burred the opening, stuck in the fitting, tightened it down, and done!  Instant 2” Tri-Clamp heater element fitting.
