Description
A flat lid in 304 stainless steel that closes a 12″ tri-clamp vessel and takes it down to a 3″ tri-clamp port. The transition is made in a flat plate, so the reduction occupies far less vertical space than a conical or hemispherical reducer of the same size range.
Specification
- Material: 304 stainless steel
- Vessel connection: 12″ tri-clamp
- Outlet connection: 3″ tri-clamp
- Threaded ports: none listed

Clamps and gaskets for both joints are separate line items and are not supplied with the lid.
Our source data for LID-12TO3 does not include overall dimensions, a weight or a pressure rating. The 12″ to 2″ lid in the same family is documented at 12″ x 12″ x 3″ and 7 lb, but those are that part’s figures and are not restated here as though they applied to this one. Ask if you need the documented values for this SKU.
Frequently asked questions
What are the connections?+
12" tri-clamp on the vessel side, 3" tri-clamp on the outlet. There are no NPT or compression ports on this lid.
What is it made of?+
304 stainless steel, per the manufacturer's designation for LID-12TO3.
What are the overall dimensions and weight?+
Not recorded in our source data for this part number. The 12" to 2" lid in the same family is documented at 12" x 12" x 3" and 7 lb; we have not assumed the 3" version matches. Ask us to confirm before you plan clearances.
How does a flat lid compare with a conical or hemispherical reducer?+
A flat lid makes the whole reduction in one plate, so the assembly gains very little height. A conical reducer transitions through a straight-walled cone and a hemispherical reducer through a dome; both are taller, but the sloped wall drains rather than forming a ledge. Choose on drainage and headroom.
Are clamps and gaskets included?+
No. A 12" clamp and gasket and a 3" clamp and gasket are needed to make both joints and are stocked separately.
Is there a pressure rating?+
None is documented for this lid in our source data, and we do not publish figures we cannot cite. Request the manufacturer's rating on your quote if the vessel is pressurised.
