Sanitary clamp spools: 3, 6 and 12 in, ½ to 4 in
How long are tri-clamp spools and what is their bore? · Standard part · basis: ASME BPE / 3-A clamp-fitting dimensions published identically by Dixon and Steel & O'Brien; ISO 2852 face profile
Exact dimensions. Every file is drawn at true size with no printing tolerance. The holes and pins that meet another part are listed below under Mating features, with the fit each joint needs; open those by your printer's or process's clearance before making the part. Mating features

Notes
- A spool: BPE tube with an ISO 2852 face at each end, 76.2, 152.4 or 304.8 mm (3, 6, 12 in) face to face.
- Bore 9.4 / 15.75 / 22.1 / 34.8 / 47.5 / 60.2 / 72.9 / 97.38 mm for ½ to 4 in (tube OD minus two 1.65 mm walls; 2.11 at 4 in).
- Faces are the ISO 2852 profile (2.85 mm rim, 1.6 mm gasket recess, 20° back cone) on the BPE flange diameters; the groove diameter on ½, ¾ and 4 in is derived (flange − 7.0 / 7.5 mm), the rest is from the standard.
