Taco SD080060-5 is an 8 inch by 6 inch suction diffuser designed for efficient flow management in pumping systems. The rear strainer pullout (RSP) feature simplifies maintenance while ensuring optimal operating conditions. This unit integrates cast straightening vanes within an oversized body cylinder, which minimizes pressure loss and facilitates effective flow direction. It includes a disposable mesh strainer for easy servicing, meeting pressures up to one hundred seventy-five psi and temperatures as high as two hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit.

Q: What is the Taco SD080060-5 suction diffuser used for?
A: It regulates and smooths fluid flow into pumps, reducing turbulence, protecting the pump, and improving overall system efficiency.
Q: What are the connection sizes?
A: This model has an 8-inch inlet and a 6-inch outlet, compatible with standard piping systems.
Q: Does it include a strainer?
A: Yes — it typically includes an internal strainer to trap debris and prevent pump damage.
Q: Why is a suction diffuser important?
A: It eliminates the need for long straight pipe runs before the pump, reducing turbulence, vibration, and wear while maintaining proper flow conditions.
Q: What systems is it suitable for?
A: Ideal for commercial and industrial HVAC, hydronic heating, and chilled water pump applications.
Q: What are the main benefits?
A: Enhances pump efficiency, extends pump life, minimizes noise, and ensures smooth, consistent fluid flow.
Inspect and clean the inlet screen regularly to prevent debris from reducing pump efficiency.
Check gaskets and flange connections for leaks and tighten as needed to maintain system integrity.
Flush the diffuser periodically during routine maintenance to remove sediment buildup.
Monitor for vibration or unusual noise that may indicate clogging or misalignment.
Ensure proper installation alignment and secure bolts to extend service life and maintain optimal performance.
