We should like the weir type Phantom induction pipe Sch.980 modified so that internally it exactly reproduces the single piece pipe Sch.965 which has given good results. The internal length and width of the slot should be the same Sch.965 with a spray nozzle to suit. The contours and dimensions of the riser pipe should also follow the one-piece pipe. It is also necessary to retain the flattened portion of the pipe, which in the single piece manifold is provided to allow fitting of the flange, because we found this improves the distribution.
