Claim 0:
1. A spool for oilfield manifolds, the spool comprising:
a first conduit to couple to a first flange via a first ring joint gasket;
a second conduit to couple to a second flange via a second ring joint gasket, the second conduit including threads;
a third conduit coupled to the first and second conduits;
a fourth conduit including threads, the threads of the fourth conduit directly engaging the threads of the second conduit;
wherein the first, second, and third conduits collectively form a channel that couples first and second opposing ends of the spool to one another and which includes an axis;
wherein (a) rotating the fourth conduit about the axis in a first rotational direction moves the second conduit linearly along the axis in a first linear direction; (b) rotating the fourth conduit about the axis in a second rotational direction moves the second conduit linearly along the axis in a second linear direction; and (c) the first and second rotational directions are opposite of each other and the first and second linear directions are opposite of each other.
