Having the manufacturing equipment needed, this is what I came up with.
Its 1 1/2 Tri-Clover fitting with ½ NPT female that I build myself except the clamp and gasket.
They are priced at 28.50 for a set plus shipping (yes, it takes two sets, one for each end of a hose). A set includes two cap ends drilled and Tig welded, one gaskets and a 1-½ stainless steel clamp.
I do believe they are a product that will last for many years to come and won’t leak when properly installed. They are stainless steel and are sanitary Tig welded.

This is a picture of the new Male Tri' it has a little more wall but a little less hex.
My supplier can't keep the supplies needed so this is what I came up with another way around the barn. If my suppler gets his act togther I will go back to the old style.
Also with material cost going up again I had to raise the price to 28.50 a set
Here is a picture of the rig with the Tri's being used.
