This Taco Suction Diffuser Rear Strainer Pullout (RSP) is a 16" x 14" suction diffuser that is flanged that can withstand up to 250 psi. The suction diffuser is designed to operate with a pump, helping to improve the efficiency of the pump by reducing turbulence and minimizing the risk of damage from debris. The rear strainer pullout feature allows for easy maintenance and cleaning of the diffuser, ensuring it continues to function effectively over time. With its durable construction and efficient design, this suction diffuser is an excellent choice for those looking to optimize their pumping systems.
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.
