Pump & Device Protection Solutions
Low Pressure Differential Strainers
Low Pressure Differential Strainers offer a huge positive impact on energy savings, pump discharge head, and increasing flow rate. Positive impact on designs in motor, pump and strainer sizing.
Suction Diffuser Flex
Useful in protecting against turbulence upstream of pump suction, flow meters, and valves installed after elbows. Also reduces pressure losses on pump suction resulting in positive impact on motor and pump selection as well as reduces overall energy use.
Vane Flex Straightener
This device does dual duty as both flexible coupler and turbulence mitigation before flow meters, valves and other applications that need it.

Suction Diffuser - Why do we need to add?
Why a Suction Diffuser - Many Reasons
Often we encounter design requirements that call for elbow into a pump...this creates many issues for a pump including potential cavitation and reduced performance due to increased head losses on suction side.
As seen in the chart below there are many additional issues addressed by removing turbulence and non-uniform flows associated wtih elbows.
Trouble Shooting Reasons for Applying SDF
As seen in the chart above there are many additional issues addressed by removing turbulence and non-uniform flows associated wtih elbows.
Additional SDF Explanation
Overhead View of Elbow with and without SDF
SDF Explanation Cont'd -1
SDF Installed Standard in Standard Flexible Coupler
Decrease in Head Losses over Standard Suction Diffuser
Decrease in Head Losses over Standard Suction Diffuser
- No Moving Parts.
- Installed up stream of the elbow,
- Water moves through vanes.
- After elbow, water flows evenly through pumps and devices.

- See equivalent pipe length head losses with SDF and Short Radius Elbow when compared to typical suction diffusers.
- Plus most suction diffusers have even more head loss when partially plugged. Coupling this with LPD provides lowest head loss options period.
SDF Explanation Cont'd -2
Pump Application Without & With SDF
(a) Shows low flow and low pressure leading to cavitation and pump damage.
(b) Shows SDF installed and evenness of flow and pressure on pump suction.

Installation where elbow on suction caused 6 month rebuild schedule
Installation where elbow on suction caused 6 month rebuild schedule
Installation where elbow on suction caused 6 month rebuild schedule
Custom installation of SDF on Elbow prior to pump resulted in triplihg life of pump to 18 months,
Improvement with SDF Installed
Installation where elbow on suction caused 6 month rebuild schedule
Installation where elbow on suction caused 6 month rebuild schedule
The main problem was removing the causation of cavitation but we also recorded significant improvements in pump performance.
SDF Versions available for almost any Configuration
Available in both Rubber and Galvanized couplers
Versions include tapered and most major connection configurations such as flanged and grooved.
Vaneflex Flow Straightener Saves Space
Advantages of Vane Flex
Flexible pump or pipe connector conditions flow providing 10 pipe diameter turbulence reduction with specially designed hydrodynamic shaped vanes.
Reduces discharge turbulence in a fraction of the space - typically
Protects valves including check, control and balancing downstream form flutter and damage allowing for longer life and better performance.

Vane Flex - Many Stocked Variations
Variations Include:
- Materials of construction include galvanized, stainless and rubber versions.
- Many different reducing versions with and without elbows.
- Connections types include flanged, grooved and combinations of both.
