DIY Eductor

Postby Sea Turtle » Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:42 pm

hello rp! it's been a while... i made an eductor and just want to share it here. so...

materials:
1 pc 4" 3/4 PVC pipe
1 pc ~1" 1/2 PVC pipe
1 male hose adapter (not sure if this what it's called)
PVC cement

tools:
1 hand held drill (or any rotary tool)
heat gun
ball & cone grinders
22mm hole saw
cutter
sandpaper
and a jack hammer :twisted: (optional)

i was initially aiming for this...
Image
...maybe next time :lol:

onto the build...

i used a cone grinder...
Image

to grind the inside of the hose adapter(?)
Image

Image

using a cutter, i stripped off the remaining plastic inside the adapter...
Image

grind the outflow of the nozzle too...
Image

you may also use a cutter to trim off the excess plastic...
Image

will be posting more later. thanks for viewing.

Image

Image

Image

Image

this piece will get into the 3/4 pvc later...
Image

the inflow of nozzle is about 15mm and the outflow is at about 8mm...

the parts to be joined later (hose adapter & 3/4" pvc pipe)
Image

a pilot hole was drilled at about 1.5" from one end. this will serve as the guide to cut a bigger hole on the pipe...
Image

using a 22mm hole saw, i cut a hole from wall to wall...
Image

Image

Image

then cleaned the surface using a ball grinder...

all cleaned up...
Image

Image

Image

using a heat gun, the outflow of the eductor was heated and pressed lightly to flatten the pipe a bit...
Image

Image

now the edges were sanded to a curve to allow more flow...

Image

hose adapter fitted inside the 3/4 pvc pipe. when everything's fitted right, i poured pvc cement through the punched hole...
Image

test run...
Image

Image

without the eductor...
Image

with the eductor... it doesn't show well but the waves produced with the eductor on is noticeably stronger than the one without it.
Image
if you can notice, there's a whirlpool forming on top of the hole of the eductor due to the water being sucked up to the pipe

hope this helps. thanks RP! :wink:
