Sanitary Sight Glasses for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Yes. The borosilicate glass used in these sight glasses is fully compliant with FDA 21CFR177.2600 and FDA 21CFR177.1550. These regulations govern rubber and polymer materials in food-contact applications, ensuring the components are safe for use in pharmaceutical, biotech, and food processing systems.

3-A Sanitary Standards are widely recognized hygienic design criteria for equipment used in dairy, food, and pharmaceutical processing. 3-A approval means the sight glass materials and design meet strict sanitation requirements, reducing contamination risk and supporting regulatory compliance in facilities subject to USDA or FDA inspections.

The Tri Clamp End Cap Sight Glass is available in five standard sizes: 1.5", 2", 3", 4", and 6". These cover a wide range of standard sanitary piping configurations commonly used in pharmaceutical, biotech, food and beverage, and chemical processing installations.

The borosilicate sight glasses are rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI. The temperature range extends from -40°C on the low end to 500°C (approximately 400°F rated on the ferrule assembly), making them suitable for high-temperature sterilization cycles and CIP/SIP processes commonly used in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Yes. These sight glasses are designed for multi-industry use. In addition to pharmaceutical and biotech lines, they are appropriate for food and beverage sanitary piping, USDA-regulated dairy production facilities, and chemical or petroleum handling systems. Their USDA approval and FDA compliance make them versatile across regulated process industries.

Yes. The seamless tri-clamp end cap ferrule design ensures full compatibility with any standard tri-clamp line, clamp, and gasket. This makes installation straightforward and allows the sight glass to integrate seamlessly into existing sanitary piping systems without requiring custom adapters or modifications.
