    Pure-Fit® TC Tube Clamps represent a new generation of clamping technology for the pharmaceutical industry.
    They feature an outer body with no sharp edges, eliminating the potential for snags, scratches and punctures; a press-down locking system that is fully encapsulated to guard against untimely or unwanted release; a side release mechanism that facilitates secure, single-handed installation and operation; and an integral bore hole for absolute lock-out capabilities.
    Pure-Fit® TC’s innovative design allows for complete flow stoppage, and the clamp can be installed over the tube in the normal fashion or put together after the tube is already part of a completed assembly.
