ISO-K HV Tees (Clamped): Reliable Three-Way Connections for High-Vacuum System Integration

ISO-K HV Tees (Clamped) by TFM are precision-engineered components designed for splitting or merging vacuum lines in high-vacuum (HV) systems. Constructed from 304L stainless steel tubing and equipped with ISO-K flanges, these tees offer robust performance, easy integration, and reconfigurable flexibility in systems requiring clean, leak-tight three-way junctions.

The ISO-K flange standard—part of the Large ISO flange system—is designed for use with clamp-style fasteners, making it ideal for systems that require quick assembly, tool-free access, and reliable vacuum sealing. These tees are frequently used in HV chamber plumbing, pump lines, diagnostic branch creation, and gas delivery manifolds.

Key Features of ISO-K HV Tees (Clamped):

  • 304L Stainless Steel Construction
    Delivers superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and vacuum compatibility for demanding environments such as semiconductor tools, analytical instruments, and coating chambers.

  • ISO-K Flange Compatibility
    All three ports are ISO-K flanges, suitable for clamp connection with centering rings and o-rings, supporting pressures down to 10⁻⁸ Torr.

  • T-Shaped Configuration
    Provides orthogonal branching of vacuum lines, ideal for modular setups requiring a third port for venting, pumping, pressure sensing, or gas inlet functions.

  • Vacuum-Grade Manufacturing
    Each unit is helium leak tested and cleaned to UHV-ready standards to ensure minimal outgassing and high performance in critical applications.

  • Standard and Custom Sizes Available
    Available in sizes such as ISO63, ISO100, ISO160, and ISO200, with options for custom tube lengths, port orientations, or hybrid flange types (e.g., ISO-K + ISO-F) to meet specialized design needs.

Typical Applications Include:

  • Pump lines with pressure monitoring ports

  • HV chamber manifold branching

  • Process gas inlet or venting

  • Analytical instrumentation interfaces

  • Modular system layouts in R&D environments

TFM also offers complete accessory support including ISO quick clamps, center rings with Viton or Buna-N o-rings, ISO blanking flanges, and valve integration options, enabling seamless system assembly and configuration.

In summary, ISO-K HV Tees (Clamped) are essential components for any high-vacuum system requiring robust, flexible, and ISO-standard-compliant three-way connections. Their stainless steel construction, easy clamp interface, and customizable design make them ideal for both industrial and research-grade vacuum infrastructure.

FAQ

Tube fittings are designed for tubes (measured by outside diameter and wall thickness) used in high-pressure and instrumentation applications, whereas pipe fittings are for pipes (identified by nominal pipe size) primarily used in fluid transport.

 

Common valve types include ball valves, gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, and globe valves. Each serves a specific function—from quick shutoff (ball/gate valves) to flow regulation (globe valves).

 

  • For tubing, measure the outside diameter; for pipes, refer to the nominal pipe size (using conversion charts if needed). Always match the valve or fitting size to your pipe’s dimensions and flow requirements.

  • Frequently used thread types include NPT (National Pipe Tapered), BSP (British Standard Pipe), and UNC, along with slip-fit options that rely on compression or fusion rather than threads.

Interchangeability depends on manufacturer specifications and certification. Always verify compatibility via manufacturer guides or certified interchangeability charts.

 

  • A coupling is a short, straight fitting used to join two pipes or tubes. It provides a secure, leak-tight connection and can sometimes serve to extend or repair piping runs.

Consider valve type, pressure and temperature ratings, material compatibility with your fluid, actuation method (manual or automatic), and maintenance requirements.

 

  • Valves regulate flow by opening, closing, or partially obstructing the pathway. Their mechanisms (such as the rotation of a ball or the linear movement of a gate) determine the speed and precision of flow control.

  • A flange is a flat, circular component used to connect pipes, valves, or other equipment. Bolted together with gaskets, flanges provide a secure, leak-proof joint that facilitates both assembly and maintenance.

  • Manual valves require physical operation via handles or levers, whereas actuated valves use mechanisms—pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic—to open and close automatically or remotely.

  • Issues include leaks caused by improper installation, over-tightening, degraded seals, material incompatibility, and fatigue from repeated cycling. Regular inspection and proper installation practices help mitigate these problems.

Regular maintenance involves periodic inspections, cleaning or replacing worn seals, ensuring proper torque during installation, and adhering to manufacturer guidelines and local plumbing codes to preserve system integrity.
