Engineered to optimize flow conditioning and protect centrifugal pumps in hydronic heating and cooling systems, the Bell & Gossett 115114 (Model BB-3X) Suction Diffuser Plus is an angle-pattern flow-straightening fitting. Featuring 2" NPT female threaded system and pump connections, this unit mounts directly to the pump suction inlet to eliminate long straight pipe runs and costly reducing elbows.
The Suction Diffuser Plus incorporates B&G's patented Flow Cone design, which eliminates fluid recirculation zones, directs media into the pump inlet, and ensures a uniform velocity profile to reduce stress on the impeller and shaft. It is factory-equipped with a heavy-duty orifice cylinder for continuous debris protection and a 16-mesh bronze fine start-up strainer to clean foreign particles during initial system commissioning.
Key Engineering Features:
- Patented Flow Cone Technology: Directs fluid smoothly into the pump suction, eliminating turbulence and retaining maximum pump operating efficiency.
- Space-Saving Angle Pattern: Combines an elbow, flow straightener, reducer, and strainer into a single compact fitting to conserve mechanical room footprint.
- Dual Strainer Protection: Features a durable orifice cylinder for permanent pump protection plus a disposable 16-mesh bronze start-up strainer for system flushing.
- Easy Internal Access: Removable end cover with reusable EPDM O-ring seal permits quick inspection, blow-down flushing, and start-up strainer removal.
⚠️ Application Profile: Ideal for commercial HVAC, closed-loop hydronic heating, chilled water systems, and general industrial pumping applications operating up to 175 PSI and 250°F.
