Built from high-quality stainless steel with a food-grade EPDM seat, it mounts between any standard 2\" Tri-Clamp connections and opens or closes the full 2\" bore with a quarter-turn of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe reason butterfly valves are the professional standard on fermenters — and the reason Brewtools builds their fermenter ecosystem around them — comes down to what's inside. A ball valve traps liquid in the cavity between the ball and its seals every time it cycles, creating a hidden pocket that cleaning solution never properly reaches and bacteria happily colonises between batches. A butterfly valve has no such cavity: a single disc on a shaft, sealing against an exposed EPDM seat, with every wetted surface visible and reachable the moment the clamp comes off. It disassembles in seconds for inspection, cleans completely, and gives contamination nowhere to hide — exactly what you want on the valve that touches finished beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the Brewtools ecosystem, this is the valve that earns its keep on the MiniUni™ bottom port: paired with the MiniUni™ Leg Kit for clearance and a 2\" TC elbow, it turns the tank into a bottom-dumping vessel — drop settled yeast and trub unitank-style, or drain and rack from the lowest point. Beyond that, it serves anywhere a sanitary 2\" TC shut-off is needed: dump valves, racking arms, transfer lines, and general cold-side plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStainless steel construction with food-grade EPDM seal — built for fermenter and cold-side duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNo internal cavities or trapped-liquid pockets — the sanitary advantage over ball valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFull 2\" bore, quarter-turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDisassembles in seconds for complete cleaning and seal inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMounts between standard 2\" Tri-Clamp connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThe bottom-dump valve for MiniUni™ tanks (with Leg Kit and 2\" TC elbow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUsage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBest suited for: Fermenter bottom-dump setups, yeast and trub dumping, racking and transfer lines, sanitary shut-off on any 2\" TC connection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCompatible with: Standard 2\" Tri-Clamp fittings, clamps, and gaskets; Brewtools MiniUni™ bottom port (via Leg Kit and 2\" TC elbow); Brewtools fermenters and the wider TC ecosystem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNote: Requires a 2\" Tri-Clamp and gasket per connection (sold separately unless included with your fitting set).
