Product Description

Standard nozzles are used effectively in a variety of water treatment systems. They are economical, easily installed, and have several distinct design advantages:

• Type **6L stainless steel construction.
• Continuous slot design provides increased open area for better collection.
• Standard slot opening is 0.**7" (0.*8 mm), suitable for *0 to *0 mesh size media. Other slot sizes are also available.
• Wedge wire screen is highly resistant to plugging.
• Choice of either ¾" NPT or 1" NPT fittings are available from stock. Other styles, such as tee-bolt mountings, and drop tubes are readily available.
• Less expensive than other screen of equal efficiency.
• Johnson Screens nozzles are typically used in media retention vessels where specific flow and backwash rates are desired. Our applications engineers can recommend the number of nozzles needed for effective collection and distribution. 
• Down-flow reactors can place extremely high loading on the media retention screens at the bottom of the vessel. In some cases, this can require a false bottom to carry the load. Obviously, some provision must be made for the process flow to pass through this plate. This can most easily and effectively be done by installing a number of screen nozzles uniformly across the plate. 
• Johnson Screens nozzles are an ideal choice based on their combination of high strength, high open area and nonplugging slot design. Standard nozzles are 2 in. / *1 mm diameter and can be attached to the plate either with threaded end fittings or with "L" bolts. Slot openings typically range between 0.**6 in. / 0.*5 mm and 0.**0 in. / 0.*0 mm wide. They are of the unique plug-resistant Vee-Wire® design, allowing particles to make only two-point contact with the edges of the wire. 
• In other designs such as wire mesh, particles can readily become entrapped in the mesh causing plugging and creating a continuing maintenance problem. Johnson Screens nozzles are most commonly made with **6L stainless steel, but a special spherical nozzle of ABS or Kynar® plastic is also available. Other custom nozzles can be designed to suit special process and installation requirements.
