Suction
Diffusers
The Wheatley
suction diffuser is designed to reduce space and installation costs
by replacing a long radius elbow, strainer and extended entry pipe
on the suction side of the pump. The flow stabilizing vanes reduce
turbulence and resulting stress and vibration.
In addition, the
suction diffuser strainer removes foreign particles which may be
hazardous to the pump and other system components. Consult factory
for materials recommendation based on flow media.

Flow Diverters
The American HVAC Flow Diverter is a combination of a 3/16”
Stainless Steel Strainer and a Ninety Degree Elbow in a Class
125/150 Flanged Ductile Iron Body designed to save space and money.
The integral vanes maximize flow efficiencies into the pump and the
strainer offers pump protection. The bottom pipe plug can be used as
a blow down connection or adapted to a magnetic plug.
Additionally, the integral boss located at the bottom of the
Diverter can be adapted for use as a Foot Support. The Ductile Iron
Body allows for pressures to 285 PSI (Class 150 Street Flange
Rating) and all the American HVAC Flow Diverters are tested to 400
PSI. Flanged Diverters can be used with corresponding A105 Class 150
Steel Flanges.
