This Taco Suction Diffuser Rear Strainer Pullout (RSP) is a flanged device that can handle up to 250 psi pressure. It has a size of 14" x 12" and is designed to be used with pumps. The suction diffuser works by removing any large debris from the liquid before it enters the pump, which helps to protect the pump from damage caused by foreign objects. The rear strainer pullout feature allows for easy maintenance and cleaning of the device, ensuring efficient and effective operation. This suction diffuser is an essential component for any pump system that requires protection from debris.
Suction Diffuser Rear Strainer Pullout (RSP) Overview
These Taco suction diffusers provide maximum flow efficiency at the pump's suction inlet while reducing space and fitting requirements. This eliminates the need for an equivalent length of ten pipe diameters of straight run on the pump's suction side.
This flow straightening device incorporates numerous features into one device, simplifying installations and reducing installation costs. They act as an elbow (and, in some cases, a reducing elbow) with a built-in strainer.
