The Ace T.C. spunding valve will give you the highest level of accuracy when fermenting under pressure. Designed for use with any pressurizable stainless steel conical with 1.5″ T.C. top ports. For larger units, the spunding valve can also be integrated into the blowoff pipework and used with a pressure gauge and tri-clamp tee. The polycarbonate cylinder that surrounds the spunding valve can be filled with water or sanitizer to keep your tank 100% sanitary throughout the fermentation process.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions about the 1.5″ Tri-Clamp Spunding Valve Adjustable Pressure Relief Valve (15-30 PSI)
What is a spunding valve?
A spunding valve is a type of pressure relief valve used primarily in brewing, fermenting, and various applications involving fermentation vessels. It allows for the release of excess pressure, preventing over-pressurization.
What does “tri-clamp” mean?
Tri-clamp refers to a type of sanitary fitting commonly used in brewing and food processing. It consists of three parts: a clamp, a gasket, and two ferrules that provide a strong and hygienic connection that can be easily cleaned and maintained.
What is the pressure range for this spunding valve?
This specific spunding valve is adjustable between 15 and 30 PSI, allowing users to set the desired pressure for their fermentation or brewing process.
How do I adjust the pressure on the spunding valve?
The pressure can be adjusted using the threaded knob or screw on the top of the valve. Turning the knob clockwise typically increases the pressure setting, while turning it counterclockwise decreases the pressure.
What materials are used in the construction of this valve?
The 1.5″ Tri-Clamp Spunding Valve is typically made from stainless steel, offering durability, corrosion resistance, and sanitary properties ideal for food and beverage applications. Always check the product specifications for detailed material information.
Can this valve be used with different fermentation vessels?
Yes, the 1.5″ Tri-Clamp Spunding Valve is designed to be versatile and can be used with various fermentation vessels, as long as they have a compatible 1.5″ tri-clamp fitting.
Is the spunding valve easy to clean?
Yes, the design of the tri-clamp fitting allows for easy disassembly, making cleaning straightforward. The smooth surfaces of stainless steel also help prevent build-up and contamination.
What are the benefits of using a spunding valve during fermentation?
Using a spunding valve can help control the pressure within the fermentation vessel, allowing brewers to carbonate their beer naturally, prevent off-flavors, and manage the release of CO2 to maintain optimal brewing conditions.
Where can I purchase the 1.5″ Tri-Clamp Spunding Valve?
This valve can be purchased through various brewing supply retailers, both online and in physical stores. Make sure to verify the specifications and reviews before purchasing.
