Bu ample: the Maze 1-inch injector Model 1078 with an filet pressure of 25 P51 and an outlet pressure of 5 PSI will have a suction rate of 96.7 GPH. The same injector Model 1078 with an inlet pressure of 25 PSI but with an outlet pressure of 20 P51 will have a suction rate of only 31.% GIL (8 L Pl Water Water Flow Fluid Suction = 96.7 GPH e Fluid Suction = 31.
What You Ned lo Know io Select the Proper Model Injector TELETYPE PRESSURE (injector Inlet Pressure): What is the upstream water pressure available? . MOTIVE FLOW RATE (Flow trough the Injector): What is the available water flow of the irrigation system? 78 (Injector Outlet Pressure): What is the downstream water pressure? .

L Some Simple Tests to Determine Whether or Not a Azazel Injector Is Working With the suction line disconnected and the injector in operation, place your finger over the suction port. Can you feel suction? With the suction line disconnected and the injector in operation, gently depress the ball inside the internal check valve on the suction port (a slender, blunt tool should be used for this purpose).
2. Insufficient Pressure Differential: Maze injectors typically begin suction with a water pressure differential of about 20%. Significant suction does not begin til the water pressure differential is in the range of To insure consistent suction, the outlet side of the injector should be flooded ar have some restriction downstream (acupressure. For liquid suction, Maze injectors reach maximum suction when the water pressure differential is about 30%.
Typical Installations for irrigation Systems Blag rams fad 2 The injector is installed around a point of restriction, such as a regulator valve or a gate/ball valve. These create a differential pressure across the injector, thereby allowing the injector to produce a vacuum and draw in material. Harem 3 When nonlinear pressure cannot be reduced, a small booster pump can be used to create 2 sufficient differential to operate the injector. Mazes standard configuration for injectors 1.
