Tri Clamp Screen Gasket Support Spool - 1.5" TC, 3" Long

1.5" Tri-Clamp spool, 3" long, with perforated plate. 304 Stainless Steel. Also called a filter spool.

Tri Clamp Stackable Screen Gasket Support Spools are used to selectively filter sediment to various size mesh. They are used in conjunction with tri clamp screen gaskets available in different sizes and material types. Common applications range from fluid clarification to material separation.

Preventing screen gasket displacement (blowout)
Tri Clamp support spools have a rigid surface across the face of the spool, called a perforated plate. This perforated plate is 3mm thick with 6.5mm holes, and is aligned flush with the end of the spool creating a face for tri clamp gaskets to rest against. When filtered sediment accumulates at the face of the screen gasket increasing pressure, the perforated plate holds the gasket in place and prevents any screen displacement.

Layered Filtration: Sediment accumulates prior to the spool's perforated plate, thus if a single screen gasket will suffice, a 1 inch support spool will offer full support at the minimum cost. When multiple levels of filtration are necessary, support spools (1" or 3" in length) can be stacked back-to-back. All but the last support spool need to be 3 inches to allow for sediment accumulation.
