A stainless steel spool, also known as a sanitary spool, is a prefabricated length of stainless steel tubing with fittings on either end. The Spool fittings can be a variety of types, including tri-clamp or bevel seat. Pipe spools can be used in many applications, such as breweries, dairies, food and beverage manufacturing, and pharmaceutical lines. Sanitary stainless steel spools are prefabricated lengths of tubing with Tri Clamp fitting ends added for convenience. Tubing spools are a popular choice for building process lines because they are less permanent than welded tubing and can be easily disassembled, moved, or reassembled without on-site welding and fabrication. This flexibility not only saves time and money when combined with other Tri Clamp fittings, clamps, and gaskets but also ensures hygienic conditions. These fittings, also known as hygienic fittings, are designed to be cleanable, limiting areas where bacteria can form or harbor.
