Overview

ASEPCONNECT™ close-coupled aseptic connector

ASEPCO close couple connectors are for connecting flush-mounted probes and instruments to process lines. They are easier to install and clean than the alternatives, and have ASEPCO's patented aseptic seal, which is based on the same reliable seal that you find in our valves.

Features and benefits

  • Clean, aseptic design
  • Aseptic design for use in critical aseptic processing applications
  • Flush-mounted to tank, eliminating dead legs and leakage
  • Easy to place, seal, inspect
  • Our patented sealing face improves gasket sealing edge
  • Large outside diameter to avoid warping (other diameters available)
  • Monel studs prevent galling
  • Clearance slots for use with rupture disks
