Dimensions (selected)

• 170125 — Hose size A: 1.25 in / 32 mm — Air inlet: 1/4 FNPT
• 170150 — Hose size A: 1.50 in / 38 mm — Air inlet: 3/8 FNPT
• 170200 — Hose size A: 2.00 in / 51 mm — Air inlet: 3/8 FNPT

How it works Compressed air enters an annular plenum and is injected through directed nozzles into the throat. The resulting jets create a vacuum at the intake that draws material in and accelerates it through the unit for conveying over long vertical or horizontal distances.
