ITT Sterile access and specialty use points

Sterile Access and GMP for body geometry.

Sterile access and GMP valves are used when sample, steam, condensate, drain, or transfer access points have to be designed into the process without creating a cleaning problem. Triplex supports this selection by looking at the actual process: product, cleaning method, orientation, pressure, temperature, automation expectations, and documentation requirements.

01 - Fit

Use this page to qualify the valve package, not just identify a part number.

ITT diaphragm valve selection is about the complete assembly. The body, topworks, diaphragm, actuation, controls, and documentation all have to support the way the process actually runs.

Where it fits

Where it fits

Use this body style when the process geometry, cleaning strategy, sample point, drain point, or routing requirement calls for more than a generic two-way valve.

What to confirm

What to confirm

Valve size, end connections, orientation, drain angle, material, surface finish, diaphragm material, actuator or bonnet style, and documentation expectations should all be checked before quoting.

How Triplex helps

How Triplex helps

Triplex helps translate the process problem into a practical ITT body selection so the valve package fits the line, the cleaning method, and the maintenance plan.

02 - Selection

What Triplex will want to know.

Good valve recommendations come from process context. A few details up front prevent a lot of expensive back-and-forth later.

Selection pointWhy it mattersTriplex note
Process purposeShutoff, sample, purge, drain, divert, tank outlet, or aseptic barrier duty changes the correct body geometry.Start with what the valve has to do in the process, not just the valve size.
Cleanability and hold-upDead legs, drainability, and internal volume can matter as much as pressure and temperature.Send sketches or photos when the valve location is part of a skid or vessel connection.
Topworks and diaphragmThe body decision should be made with bonnet/actuator and diaphragm material in mind.Triplex can help pair the body with manual or pneumatic operation and the right diaphragm review.
03 - Resources

Manufacturer literature and related Triplex resources.

Use these documents as a starting point, then confirm final selection against the actual process conditions.

04 - Related
