Overview: SS TC Blind / Dummy Clamp Cap
The Stainless Steel TC Blind / Dummy Clamp Cap from Neza Engineering Co. is a key component used to terminate, isolate, or close a process line or unused TC connection in hygienic pipeline systems. Whether for maintenance, future expansion, or temporary shutdown, this fitting provides a leak-proof, sanitary seal that upholds hygiene and safety in critical industries like pharmaceuticals, dairy, food processing, beverage, and biotechnology.
Designed to meet stringent standards such as ASME BPE, DIN, ISO, SMS, and 3A, the TC Blind Cap ensures compatibility and interchangeability across a wide range of tri-clamp setups. It is ideal for projects where zero dead leg and contamination prevention are top priorities.
What is a TC Blind / Dummy Clamp?
A TC Blind Clamp, also called a Dummy Clamp, is a flat stainless steel disc designed to fit over the end of a ferrule or sanitary pipe using a TC clamp and gasket. It effectively seals off the opening while maintaining hygienic and pressure-resistance properties.
Blind Cap: Seals off the pipeline or unused port
TC-Compatible: Easily attached with standard tri-clover clamps
Reusable & Durable: Made from solid SS 304 or SS 316 for longevity
