Description
The Bell & Gossett 115104 Suction Diffuser Plus is a high-performance pump accessory engineered to optimize flow conditions at the inlet of centrifugal pumps in hydronic heating and cooling systems. By combining multiple components into a single compact unit, it simplifies installation, reduces pipe fittings, and improves overall system efficiency.
Product Overview
This suction diffuser features a 4″ flange on the system side and a 3″ flange on the pump side, making it ideal for applications where pipe reduction is required at the pump inlet. The cast iron body provides exceptional durability and long service life in demanding hydronic environments, while steel inlet vanes and an orifice cylinder work together to straighten flow and eliminate turbulence before fluid enters the pump impeller.
Key Features
- 4″ flange system-side connection x 3″ flange pump-side connection
- Cast iron body for strength and corrosion resistance in hydronic systems
- Steel inlet vanes and orifice cylinder for optimized, turbulence-free flow
- Includes 16-mesh bronze start-up strainer to protect pump from debris during commissioning
- Rated for 250°F operating temperature
- Combines elbow, reducer, strainer, and flow straightener in one unit
- Reduces installation time and minimizes the number of pipe connections
Application
The Bell & Gossett 115104 Suction Diffuser Plus is designed for use with centrifugal pumps in commercial and industrial hydronic systems. It is particularly well-suited for boiler plants, chiller systems, and other closed-loop piping applications where protecting pump integrity and maintaining efficient flow is critical.
