Maintenance-Free Jet Pumps

PVC

Also known as eductors, ejectors, and injectors, jet pumps have no moving parts and require no lu rication, seals, or electricit!, so the! are eas! to clean and maintain. "he! use high-pressure liquid or steam #attached at the inlet$ to create suction within the pump od!. "his suction draws a second liquid or gas into the pump and then %orces it out, under pressure, through the discharge& 'ischarge occurs at a pressure greater than the suction stream, ut lower than the operating inlet media& 'eci el rating is ()& "emp& range is -*0+ to ,)-+ %or cast iron and ron.e, -,)- + to ,)-+ F %or "!pe /,0 stainless steel, and -+ to 10+ F %or PVC& PVC2ighl! corrosion resistant and lightweight& "he charts elow show suction %low ased on a , ,3*4 suction3discharge pipe si.e. "o determine the suction %low %or other pipe si.es, use the si.ing %actor given elow as a multiplier.
