ASME B16.5 Spade and Spacer

American standard spade and spacer for flow isolation. ASME B16.5. NPS 1/2"-24", Class 150-2500. Separate components for temporary or permanent pipeline isolation.

Spade and Spacer

A Spade is a solid metal disc with a hole and integral tag/handle used to block flow between two companion flanges. A Spacer (or spacer-r-spacer) is a ring that allows flow when installed in place of the spade. Unlike the Spectacle Blind (which is a single assembly), the Spade and Spacer are two separate components, allowing more flexibility in isolation configuration.

JIAJI FORGING manufactures Spades and Spacers in austenitic stainless steel, duplex & super duplex stainless steel, and nickel alloys to ASME B16.5 standards.
