DESCRIPTION
Each Ansul proportioner consists of a body,
inlet nozzle, and metering orifice, all of which
The proportioner body is designed with flat-faced flanges to match ANSI 150 lb. flanges
of the same nominal size. Clearly marked on
the proportioner body are the flow directionarrow, as well as the type and percentage ofconcentrate for which the proportioner wasdesigned.
The inlet nozzle is secured by a stainless
steel retaining ring that is internally con-cealed to prevent removal after installation.
The metering orifice is sized according to thetype and percentage of concentrate usedand is also secured with a stainless steelretaining ring. ORDERING INFORMATION SPECIFICATIONS
