T-joint

You'll need a 12 - to 16-foot (depending on the height of your boat's deck) section of pipe for the pushpole shaft, one T-joint, two 3-inch pieces of PVC pipe for the cross pieces, and three caps for the open ends.

For testing the plant (5) a pressure gauge is connected to the T-joint between the valve and the plant.

A simple mixing chamber or even T-joint tube-type mixer may provide an alternative for one special application.

The minimum distance of the gas inlet, i.e. two times the tube diameter from the engine manifold has to be observed for all T-joint mixer types (see Fig. 5.1).

The mixing performance is superior to that of a blunt T-joint (see Fig. 5.4).

Mixing chambers with a larger volume than just a T-joint pipe provide a longer retention time of air and fuel inside the chamber and a more homogeneous mixture which becomes essential when the distance between mixing device and inlet manifold is short, hence the mixing time.

Another type of centrifugal pump is the centrifugal reaction pump (figure 9) which consists of a vertical pipe with a T-joint at the top, from which extent two pipes whose length is dependent upon the rate of rotation of the assembly in operation.
