Abstract

A fluid supply pipe has uniformly spaced diffuser location holes arranged in a line along its length at each of which a saddle is secured to the pipe which includes changeable means for controlling the desired flowrate of fluid from the pipe to a diffuser. The saddle has a threaded connection with the diffuser so that the diffuser can be readily screwed onto or unscrewed from the saddle by hand. The plenum below the diffuser element has a self-draining feature.
