FIG. S810
Suction Diffuser

The Figure S810 Suction Diffuser is compact and rugged for

direct mounting to the suction side of a pump in either a
horizontal or vertical position. In addition to removing foreign
particles, the Figure S810 also provides proper flow conditions
to the pump. Where space is limited, the Figure S810 can be
used to replace the straight pipe normally required to reduce
turbulence. The Figure S810 Suction Diffuser can be used for
primary or additional strainer protection, especially for stress on hangers and inlet piping and eliminates the need for a
controls, meters and other rotating equipment.
pipe saddle for mounting. The Figure S810 also has provisions
The Figure S810 Suction Diffuser’s permanent perforated for NPT gauge taps on both the inlet and outlet sides of the
stainless steel screen helps remove foreign particles. The inlet diffuser (drilling and tapping should be specified when
