A Spacer is a metal ring with an attached handle, mechanically designed to fill the gap between two flanges when a pipeline is in operation. Its primary purpose is to maintain the correct distance and bolt tension between flanges while allowing fluid to pass through freely. It is typically purchased as a set with a Spade Flange and is used in large diameter piping systems.
