Spike Conical Racking Arm

[Flathill]

I have a Spike CF15 Conical. Not sure if the accessory racking arm is needed. Does it turn all the way down to the 6o'clock position to pull the wort off below the port connection ? It looks like it may only turn 1/2 way not all the way around. If it does turn all the way around & down then it would let you draw wort below the connection port.

You can rotate the racking arm 360 degrees. I highly recommend you consider buying one.

This may help.... Positioning of the racking arm

The point of the racking arm is not to draw yeast that will probably be sticking to the fermenter's walls and the port itself, not to draw beer below the racking port. If you're concerned about losing beer you could use the dump port to draw 100% of the beer's volume but you're guaranteed to drag some yeast clumps along with the beer.

I consider it essential. Have one in both my CF10 and my Flex+

Same with the sample valve.
