How is it used
The jet siphon is placed between two portable tanks, with the brass supply tube positioned in the tank being siphoned from. A 1.5-inch supply line is connected to the fitting on top of the unit. Once sufficient water is present, the supply line is opened to the desired pressure, up to a maximum of 125 PSI. To stop operation, the supply line valve is closed and the siphon can be lifted to interrupt the siphoning effect.

This jet siphon assembly is used by fire departments, particularly those operating multiple drop tank setups where fast and reliable water transfer is critical.
