Product Description
JAFM intake extension tube upgrades your pump vault setup by raising the intake assembly while helping you capture more water volume in demanding applications.
Designed as an add-on for compatible JAFM systems, this extension tube is a practical way to increase intake capacity and improve pump access when space is limited. It’s especially useful when you want to dig your reservoir deeper for extra storage but still keep the intake at an efficient working height for maintenance and retrieval.
Key benefits
- Higher flow potential: helps increase flow capacity (often cited as up to an additional 2500 GPM in the right setup).
- Deeper reservoir flexibility: supports deeper excavation in tight areas while keeping access straightforward.
- Secure fit at the vault edge: a bottom flange is designed to slide over the top edge of the vault for stable alignment.
- Expandable configuration: multiple extensions can be used when additional height is needed.
What to consider before buying
- Compatibility: confirm your intake/pump vault model is designed to accept this extension style.
- System performance: actual flow depends on pump capability, plumbing layout, head height, and intake conditions—not just the extension itself.
- Installation planning: plan reservoir depth, vault placement, and service access so the intake remains easy to inspect and clear.
If you’re building or upgrading a vault-based intake, the JAFM intake extension tube is a clean, modular solution that supports higher-capacity water movement while keeping the system serviceable over time. Many installers choose a JAFM intake extension tube to balance deeper basin construction with reliable pump access and intake positioning.
FAQ
Does this automatically add 2500 GPM to my pump? No. The extension can help increase intake capacity, but total flow is still limited by the pump and the complete plumbing design.
Can I stack more than one extension? In many setups, yes—multiple extensions can be used when extra height is required. Verify clearances and compatibility for your specific system.
Is the JAFM intake extension tube suitable for tight installations? Yes—deeper digging and easier access are common reasons it’s chosen for compact or constrained locations.
