This Taco Suction Diffuser Rear Strainer Pullout (RSP) is a flanged device with dimensions of 12" x 12" that can withstand pressures up to 250 psi. The suction diffuser is designed to be used with pumps and has a unique function that separates debris and air from the pumped fluid. This allows for a more efficient and effective operation of the pump, as it is protected from harmful debris that could cause damage or reduce its lifespan. The strainer can easily be removed for cleaning or maintenance, ensuring long-lasting performance. Overall, this suction diffuser is an excellent addition to any pumping system that requires protection from debris and air while maintaining optimal performance.
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.
