ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary wedge apparatus configured to couple to the restrainer bracket of a jet pump assembly is described. In one embodiment, the auxiliary wedge apparatus includes a support block configured to couple to the restrainer bracket, and a wedge configured to slidingly couple to a wedge channel in the support block, and to engage the inlet mixer to restore a tight rigid fit-up of the jet pump components. The support block includes a wedge channel having tongues depending from the parallel sides of the channel and a hook shaped portion configured to receive the restrainer bracket. The support block also includes a lock screw to couple the support block to the restrainer bracket. The wedge includes grooves in the parallel sides of the wedge configured to slidingly engage the tongues extending in the wedge channel. The auxiliary wedge apparatus also includes a restraint arm depending from the support block configured to capture the existing set screw in the restrainer bracket to prevent the screw from completely unscrewing.
