Back-Pressure Inducers
These devices eliminate the need for expensive components to induce hydraulic back pressure, as well as the misapplication of other components, such as check valves, for the same purpose.
When installed in a heat-exchange bypass line, the inducer will limit the pressure of the fluid flowing into the heat exchanger. They can be used to maintain a required return line back-pressure. Many other uses are possible.

Standard size combinations are those shown side-bSIMPLEX side (6-10, 8-12, 10-16, 16-24). Any feasible size combinations may be ordered, but they're not stocked (4-12, 8-16, etc).
