a housing member having a first passageway therethrough;
a multiplicity of second passageways extending from an outside wall and to an end wall thereof; and
an adapter member having a multiplicity of passageways, a portion of the passageways of the adapter member constructed and arranged to be placed in the second passageways.
2. The eductor of claim 1 wherein at least some of the passageways of the adapter have different widths.
3. The eductor of claim 2 wherein a portion of the passageways of the adapter are tubular.
4. The eductor of claim 1 wherein the adapter includes a multiplicity of projections extending from the end wall.
5. The eductor of claim 1 wherein the adapter member is retained in the eductor by frictional engagement.
6. The eductor of claim 1 wherein the body member and the adapter member have indexing members.
7. The eductor of claim 1 wherein the first passageway is centrally located in the housing member and the multiplicity of second passageways are located in an annular configuration with respect thereto.
8. The eductor of claim 1 further including an orientation projection extending from the adapter member for reception in a compartment of the housing member.
9. An adapter member for selective flow of chemical concentrate in a dispenser apparatus having a body member with an eductor having a housing member for placement in the dispenser body member, the eductor housing member having a first passageway therethrough and a multiplicity of second passageways extending from an outside wall to an end wall thereof, and an adapter member including a multiplicity of passageways, a portion of each of the passageways of the adapter member constructed and arranged to be placed in the second passageways.
10. The adapter member of claim 9 wherein at least some of the passageways of the adapter have different widths.
11. The adapter member of claim 10 wherein a portion of the passageways of the adapter are tubular.
12. The adapter member of claim 9 wherein the adapter member includes a multiplicity of projections extending from an end wall.
13. The adapter member of claim 9 wherein the adapter member is retained in the eductor by frictional engagement.
14. The adapter member of claim 9 wherein the adapter member includes and orientation member.
15. The adapter member of claim 9 wherein the multiplicity of passageways of the adapter are located in an annular configuration.
