Flow Diffusers

Flow diffusers are for hydraulic high-speed return lines, to slow down fluids entering the reservoir. They help cure foaming problems and prevent cavitation caused by flow disturbance at the pump inlet. They allow greater freedom in reservoir design, and may even eliminate the need for tank baffling plates. They also reduce reservoir noise.

The unit is of all-steel welded construction, and may be ordered with nut or nipple connector.
