Sparge Arm Two Piece

Add a Sparge arm to the top port of your Craft Hardware kettle, or using our Kettle Handle Tri-Clamp Mount. The two piece design allows for easily changing the height of the sparge arm outlet (different lengths sold separately).

Tip: If you are using the Kettle Handle Tri-Clamp Mount to mount your sparge arm, you can also use the two piece whirlpool arm as a sparge arm! See the handle clamp product description for more details.

Note: the shaft collar on the upper tube is 36mm diameter and will only fit through a DN40 Tri-Clamp ferrule! These are the ferrules installed in our Craft Hardware Kettles but seldom found on kettles from other manufacturers. The inside diameter of the more common 1.5″ ferrule is 34.8mm. It will not fit through our Tri-Clamp bulkhead adapters. If you don’t have a Craft Hardware kettle with a top port, you will most likely need to use the Handle Clamp to mount the arm.

The sparge arm is sold with one bottom tube length only, please select from the dropdown above. Additional length bottom tubes can be purchased separately here.

How high should your sparge arm be? I recommend having the outlet a few cm below the surface of the liquid. There are mash volume calculators available on the internet, I’ve often used this one (in English, see the “Can I mash it” section).

The height of the top piece is 4.5 cm from the center of the Tri-Clamp to the bottom of the tube. The bottom tubes comes in 5 lengths: 5 cm, 13 cm, 21 cm, 29cm, and 37 cm. All the tubes are inside diameter 15mm, outside diameter 18mm.

The exit height of the sparge arm will depend on your kettle height and whether the arm is installed in the kettle top port or accessory clamp. To assist you in choosing the right length, you can refer to the following table which applies to the range of Craft Hardware kettles and both mounting options. The table shows the liter mark at which the center of the sparge arm exit will be located.
