Suction Elbow

Because suction hose does not like to bend around corners, the 90 degree suction elbow from Kochek helps to position hard suction hose for drafting operations.  The suction elbow allows you to position hard suction parallel to the apparatus and is particularly useful for single lane drop tank operations on narrow roads where the need to keep an open traffic lane is critical to tanker/tender operations.

Unlike traditional 90 degree suction elbows, the suction elbow from Kochek utilizes a sweeping design with a 45 degree transition to help reduce friction loss and maximize flow.
