ejector pipe
Explanation:
As Saugstrahlpumpe is given the following definition in Langenscheidt:
f <förd> • ejector pump; ejector; eductor pump; eductor

this could suggest your term is ejector pipe.

This entry in Wikipedia is also relevant:
"An aspirator, also called an eductor-jet pump or filter pump, is a device that produces vacuum by means of the Venturi effect. In an aspirator, fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a tube which then narrows. When the tube narrows, the fluid's speed increases, and because of the Venturi effect, its pressure decreases. Vacuum is taken from this point."
