Tapered spacers providing falls in pipelined to allow draining
To Suit ASME Class 150 Piping Systems
Tapered spacers are commonly used in pairs, providing falls in horizontal pipework to allow draining, and are machined to length from a solid PTFE billet. Note: Falls of less than 1 degree can be achieved on site without the requirement of a tapered spacer, and for this reason we don’t offer tapered spacers less than 1 degree.
The minimum thickness of the thinest section does vary on nominal bore but is not less than 4mm.
