NOTE: Not all materials are available for all
models. Refer to Section 2 for material options
for your pump.

CAUTION: When choosing pump materials, be

sure to check the temperature limits for all wetted
components. Example: Viton® has a maximum
limit of 176.7°C (350°F) but polypropylene has a
maximum limit of only 79°C (175°F).

CAUTION: Maximum temperature limits are

based upon mechanical stress only. Certain
chemicals will signifi cantly reduce maximum
safe operating temperatures. Consult Chemical
Resistance Guide (E4) for chemical compatibility
and temperature limits.

WARNING: Prevention of static sparking — If

static sparking occurs, fi re or explosion could
result. Pump, valves, and containers must be
grounded to a proper grounding point when
handling fl ammable fl uids and whenever
discharge of static electricity is a hazard.

CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air

supply pressure.

CAUTION: All piping, valves, gauges and other
components installed on the liquid discharge must
have a minimum pressure rating of 20.7 bar (300 psig).

CAUTION: The discharge pressure generated by

this pump is 2X the inlet pressure supplied.

CAUTION: The process fl uid and cleaning fl uids

must be chemically compatible with all wetted
pump components. Consult Chemical Resistance
Guide (E4).

CAUTION: Do not exceed 82°C (180°F) air inlet

temperature for Pro-Flo V™ models.

CAUTION: Pumps should be thoroughly fl ushed

before installing into process lines. FDA and
USDA approved pumps should be cleaned and/
or sanitized before being used.

CAUTION: Always wear safety glasses when

operating pump. If diaphragm rupture occurs,
material being pumped may be forced out air
exhaust.

CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is

attempted, the compressed air line to the pump
should be disconnected and all air pressure
allowed to bleed from pump. Disconnect all
intake, discharge and air lines. Drain the pump
by turning it upside down and allowing any fl uid
to fl ow into a suitable container.

CAUTION: Blow out air line for 10 to 20 seconds

before attaching to pump to make sure all pipeline
debris is clear. Use an in-line air fi lter. A 5µ (micron)
air fi lter is recommended.

NOTE: When installing PTFE diaphragms, it is

important to tighten outer pistons simultaneously
(t ur ning in opposite direc tions ) t o e nsure tight fi t.
(See torque specifi cations in Section 7.)

NOTE: Cast Iron PTFE-fi tted pumps come

standard from the factory with expanded PTFE
gaskets installed in the diaphragm bead of the
liquid chamber. PTFE gaskets cannot be re-used.
Consult PS-TG for installation instructions during
reassembly.

NOTE: Before starting disassembly, mark a line

from each liquid chamber to its corresponding air
chamber. This line will assist in proper alignment
during reassembly.

CAUTION: Pro-Flo® pumps cannot be used in

submersible applications. Pro-Flo V™ is available
in both sub mersible and n on-subme rsible options.
Do not use non-submersible Pro-Flo V™ models
in submersible applications. Turbo-Flo
can also be used in submersible applications.

Section 3

HOW IT WORKS—PUMP

The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show fl ow pattern
through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fl uid in it prior to its initial stroke.

FIGURE 1 When air pressure is supplied
to the pump, the air valve directs pressure
to the back side of diaphragm A. The
compressed air moves the diaphragm
away from the center section of the pump.
The opposite diaphragm is pulled in by
the shaft connected to the pressurized
diaphragm. Diaphragm B is on its suction
stroke; air behind the diaphragm has been
forced out to the atmosphere through
the exhaust port. The movement of
diaphragm B towards the center section
of the pump creates a vacuum within
chamber B. Atmospheric pressure forces
fl uid into the inlet manifold forcing the
inlet valve ball off of its seat. Liquid is
free to move past the inlet valve ball and
fi ll the liquid chamber (see shaded area).

HOW IT WORKS—AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

FIGURE 2 Once the shaft has reached the
end of its stroke, the air valve redirects
pressurized air to the back side of
diaphragm B. This pressurized air is also
directed to the opposite side of diaphragm
A through a passageway that is routed
through the common shaft and outer piston.
The pressurized air forces diaphragm B
away from the center section while also
pushing diaphragm A to the center section.
Diaphragm B is now on its discharge stroke.
Diaphragm B forces the inlet valve ball onto
its se at due to the hyd raulic forc es develo ped
in the liquid chamber and manifold of the
pump. These same hydraulic forces lift the
discharge valve ball off of its seat, forcing
fl uid to fl ow through the pump discharge.
The pressure on diaphragm A creates a
force on the shaft that is combined with
the pressure from diaphragm B. This total
load is transferred to the liquid creating a
liquid pressure that is 2X greater than the
supplied air pressure.

The Pro -Flo V
moving parts: the air valve spool and the pilot spool. The heart
of the system is the air valve. This valve design incorporates an
unbalanced spool. The smaller end of the spool is pressurized
continuously, while the large end is alternately pressurized,
then exhausted, to move the spool. The air valve spool directs
pressurized air to one air chamber while exhausting the other.
The air causes the main shaft/diaphragm assembly to shif t to
one side — discharging liquid on that side and pulling liquid in
on the other side. When the shaft reaches the end of its stroke,
the inner piston ac tuates the pilot spool, which pressurizes and
exhausts the large end of the air valve spool. The repositioning
of the air valve spool routes the air to the other air chamber.

™

p at e n te d ai r di s trib u t io n sy s t em i nc o rp o r at e s t w o

FIGURE 3 At completion of the stroke,
the air valve again redirects air to the
back side of diaphragm A, which star ts
diaphragm B on its exhaust stroke. As
the pump reaches its original starting
point, each diaphragm has gone through
one exhaust and one discharge stroke.
This constitutes one complete pumping
cycle. The pump may take several cycles
to completely prime depending on the
condition of the application.

SUCTION LIFT CURVE

Suction lift curves are calibrated for pumps operating
at 305 m (1,000') above sea level. This chart is meant
to be a guide only. There are many variables which
can affect your pump’s operating characteristics. The

number of intake and discharge elbows, viscosity of
pumping fl uid, elevation (atmospheric pressure) and
pipe friction loss all affect the amount of suction lift
your pump will attain.

SUGGESTED INSTALLATION

Wilden pumps are designed to meet the performance
requirements of even the most demanding pumping
applications. They have been designed and manufactured
to the highest standards and are available in a variety of
liquid path materials to meet your chemical resistance
needs. Refer to the performance section of this manual for
an in-depth analysis of the performance characteristics of
your pump. Wilden offers the widest variety of elastomer
options in the industry to satisfy temperature, chemical
compatibility, abrasion resistance and fl ex concerns.

The suction pipe size should be at least the equivalent or
larger than the diameter size of the suction inlet on your
Wilden pump. The suction hose must be non-collapsible,
reinforced type as these pumps are capable of pulling a high
vacuum. Discharge piping should also be the equivalent
or larger than the diameter of the pump discharge which
will help reduce friction losses. It is critical that all fi ttings
and connections are airtight or a reduction or loss of pump
suction capability will result.

INSTALLATION: Months of careful planning, study,
and selection efforts can result in unsatisfactory pump
performance if installation details are left to chance.

Premature failure and long term dissatisfaction can be
avoided if reasonable care is exercised throughout the
installation process.

LOCATION: Noise, safety, and other logistical factors usually
dictate where equipment will be situated on the production
fl oor. Multiple installations with confl icting requirements
can result in congestion of utility areas, leaving few choices
for additional pumps.

Within the framework of these and other existing conditions,
every pump should be located in such a way that six key
factors are balanced against each other to maximum
advantage.

ACCESS: First of all, the location should be accessible. If
it’s easy to reach the pump, maintenance personnel will
have an easier time carrying out routine inspections and
adjustments. Should major repairs become necessary, ease
of access can play a key role in speeding the repair process
and reducing total downtime.

AIR SUPPLY: Every pump location should have an air line
large enough to supply the volume of air necessary to
achieve the desired pumping rate. Use air pressure up to
a maximum of 8.6 bar (125 psig) depending on pumping
requirements.

For best results, the pumps should use a 5µ (micron) air
fi lter, needle valve and regulator. The use of an air fi lter
before the pump will ensure that the majority of any pipeline
contaminants will be eliminated.

SOLENOID OPERATION: When operation is controlled by a
solenoid valve in the air line, three-way valves should be
used. This valve allows trapped air between the valve and
the pump to bleed off which improves pump performance.
Pumping volume can be estimated by counting the number
of strokes per minute and then multiplying the fi gure by the
displacement per stroke.

MUFFLER: Sound levels are reduced below OSHA
specifi cations using the standard Wilden muffl er. Other

muffl ers can be used to further reduce sound levels, but
they usually reduce pump performance.

ELEVATION: Selecting a site that is well within the pump’s
dynamic lift capability will assure that loss-of-prime issues will
be eliminated. In addition, pump effi ciency can be adversely
affected if proper attention is not given to site location.

PIPING: Final determination of the pump site should not be
made until the piping challenges of each possible location
have been evaluated. The impact of current and future
installations should be considered ahead of time to make
sure that inadvertent restrictions are not created for any
remaining sites.

The best choice possible will be a site involving the shortest
and straightest hook-up of suction and discharge piping.
Unnecessary elbows, bends, and fi ttings should be avoided.
Pipe sizes should be selected to keep friction losses within
practical limits. All piping should be supported independently
of the pump. In addition, the piping should be aligned to
avoid placing stress on the pump fi ttings.

Flexible hose can be installed to aid in absorbing the forces
created by the natural reciprocating action of the pump. If the
pump is to be bolted down to a solid location, a mounting
pad placed between the pump and the foundation will assist
in minimizing pump vibration. Flexible connections between
the pump and rigid piping will also assist in minimizing
pump vibration. If quick-closing valves are installed at any
point in the discharge system, or if pulsation within a system
becomes a problem, a surge suppressor (SD Equalizer
should be installed to protect the pump, piping and gauges
from surges and water hammer.

If the pump is to be used in a self-priming application, make
sure that all connections are airtight and that the suction lift is
within the model’s ability. Note: Materials of construction and
elastomer material have an effect on suction lift parameters.
Please refer to the performance section for specifi cs.

When pumps are installed in applications involving fl ooded
suction or suction head pressures, a gate valve should be
installed in the suction line to permit closing of the line for
pump service.

Pumps in service with a positive suction head are most effi cient
when inlet pressure is limited to 0.5–0.7 bar (7–10 psig).
Premature diaphragm failure may occur if positive suction
is 0.7 bar (10 psig) and higher.

SUBMERSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Pro-Flo V™ pumps can be
used for submersible applications, when using the Pro-Flo
V™ submersible option. Turbo-Flo™ pumps can also be
used for submersible applications.

line. A properly functioning valve will stop the air supply
to the pump, therefore stopping output. This shut off
valve should be located far enough away from the
pumping equipment such that it can be reached safely
in an emergency situation.

WI L-11110 -E-0 4 9 WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING, LLC

SUGGESTED OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

OPERATION: The H400S is pre-lubricated, and does not
require in-line lubrication. Additional lubrication will
not damage the pump, however if the pump is heavily
lubricated by an external source, the pump’s internal
lubrication may be washed away. If the pump is then
moved to a non-lubricated location, it may need to be
disassembled and re-lubricated as described in the
ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.

Pump discharge rate can be controlled by limiting the
volume and /or pressure of the air supply to the pump.
An air regulat or is used to regulate air p ressure. A ne edle
valve is used to regulate volume. Pump discharge rate
c an al so be c ontrolled by t hr ot tl in g t he pum p d ischarge
by partially closing a valve in the discharge line of the
pump. This action increases friction loss which reduces
fl ow rate. (See Section 5.) This is useful when the need
exists to control the pump from a remote location.
When the pump discharge pressure equals or exceeds
the air supply pressure, the pump will stop; no bypass
or pressure relief valve is needed, and pump damage
will not occur. The pump has reached a “deadhead”
situation and can be restarted by reducing the fl uid

TROUBLESHOOTING

discharge pressure or increasing the air inlet pressure.
The Wilden H400S pump runs solely on compressed
air and does not generate heat, therefore your process
fl uid temperature will not be affected.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS: Since each
application is unique, maintenance schedules may
be different for every pump. Frequency of use, line
pressure, viscosity and abrasiveness of process fl uid
all affect the parts life of a Wilden pump. Periodic
inspections have been found to offer the best
means for preventing unscheduled pump downtime.
Personnel familiar with the pump’s construction and
service should be informed of any abnormalities that
are detected during operation.

RECORDS: When service is required, a record should
be made of all necessary repairs and replacements.
Over a period of time, such records can become a
valuable tool for predicting and preventing future
maintenance problems and unscheduled downtime. In
addition, accurate records make it possible to identify
pumps that are poorly suited to their applications.

Pump will not run or runs slowly.

1. Ensure that the air inlet pressure is at least 0.4 bar

(5 psig) above startup pressure and that the differential
pressure (the difference between air inlet and liquid
discharge pressures) is not less than 0.7 bar (10 psig).

2. Check air inlet fi lter for debris (see recommended

installation).

3. Check for extreme air leakage (blow by) which

would indicate worn seals /bores in the air valve,
pilot spool, main shaft.

4. Disassemble pump and check for obstructions

in the air passageways or objects which would
obstruct the movement of internal parts.

5. Check for sticking ball check valves. If material being

pumped is not compatible with pump elastomers,
swelling may occur. Replace ball check valves and
seals with proper elastomers. Also, as the check
valve balls wear out, they become smaller and can
become stuck in the seats. In this case, replace balls
and seats.

6. Check for broken inner piston which will cause the

air valve spool to be unable to shift.

7. Remove plug from pilot spool exhaust.

Pump runs but little or no product fl ows.

1. Check for pump cavitation; slow pump speed

down to allow thick material to fl ow into liquid
chambers.

WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING, LLC 10 WI L-11110 -E-0 4

2. Verify that vacuum required to lift liquid is not
greater than the vapor pressure of the material
being pumped (cavitation).

3. Check for sticking ball check valves. If material being
pumped is not compatible with pump elastomers,
swelling may occur. Replace ball check valves and
seats with proper elastomers. Also, as the check
valve balls wear out, they become smaller and can
become stuck in the seats. In this case, replace balls
and seats.

Pump air valve freezes.

1. Check for excessive moisture in compressed
air. Either install a dryer or hot air generator for
compressed air. Alternatively, a coalescing fi lter
may be used to remove the water from the
compressed air in some applications.

Air bubbles in pump discharge.

1. Check for ruptured diaphragm.

2. Check tightness of outer pistons (refer to Section 7).

3. Check tightness of fasteners and integrity of
o-rings and seals, especially at intake manifold.

4. Ensure pipe connections are airtight.

Product comes out air exhaust.

1. Check for diaphragm rupture.

2. Check tightness of outer pistons to shaft.

H400S PISTON & SHAFT ORIENTATION

AIR PASSAGEWAY AIR PASSAGEWAYAIR PASSAGEWAY

The outer piston on the side of
the amplifi cation chamber has
an air passageway at the center
of the outer piston lug. This air
passageway allows air to fl ow
from the opposite air chamber to
the amplifi cation chamber. This
principle is how the H400S high
pressure pump achieves a 2:1 ratio
of inlet air pressure to discharge
pressure. When reassembling the
H400S pump, the outer piston
with the air passageway has to be
positioned on the same side as the
amplifi cation chamber. If it is not
reassembled correctly, the pump
will not operate and process fl uid
will enter the air distribution system
through the air passageway located
at the shaft lug.

This same air passageway continues through the diaphragm shaft, exits
out of the diaphragm shaft via a 90º turn and into the air chamber located
on the wetted side of the pump. The air passageway has to be positioned in
the air chamber on the wetted side of the pump, opposite the amplifi cation
chamber.

REASSEMBLY HINTS & TIPS

ASSEMBLY:

Upon performing applicable maintenance to the air
distrib ution system, th e pump can now be rea ssembled.
Please refer to the disassembly instructions for photos
and parts placement. To reassemble the pump, follow
the disassembly instructions in reverse order. The air
distribution system needs to be assembled fi rst, then
the diaphragms and fi nally the wetted path. Please fi nd
the applicable torque specifi cations on this page. The
following tips will assist in the assembly process.

• Lubricate air valve bore, center section shaft and
pilot spool bore with NLGI grade 2 white EP bearing
grease or equivalent.

• Clean the inside of the center section shaft bore to
ensure no damage is done to new seals.

• A small amount NLGI grade 2 white EP bearing
grease can be applied to the muffl er and air valve
gaskets to locate gaskets during assembly.

• Make sure that the exhaust port on the muffl er plate
is centered between the two exhaust ports on the
center section.

• Stainless bolts should be lubed to reduce the
possibility of seizing during tightening.

SHAFT SEAL

SHAFT SEAL INSTALLATION:

PRE-INSTALLATION

• Once all of the old seals have been removed, the
inside of the bushing should be cleaned to ensure
no debris is left that may cause premature damage
to the new seals.

INSTALLATION

The following tools can be used to aid in the installation
of the new seals:

Needle Nose Pliers
Phillips Screwdriver
Electrical Tape

• Wrap electrical tape around each leg of the needle nose
pliers (heat shrink tubing may also be used). This is done
to prevent damaging the inside surface of the new seal.

• With a new seal in hand, place the two legs of the needle
nose pliers inside the seal ring. (See Figure A.)

• Open the pliers as wide as the seal diameter will allow,
then with two fi ngers pull down on the top portion of
the seal to form kidney bean shape. (See Figure B.)

• Lightly clamp the pliers together to hold the seal into
the kidney shape. Be sure to pull the seal into as tight
of a kidney shape as possible, this will allow the seal to
travel down the bushing bore easier.

• With the seal clamped in the pliers, insert the seal into
the bushing bore and position the bottom of the seal
into the correct groove. Once the bottom of the seal is
seated in the groove, release the clamp pressure on the
pliers. This will allow the seal to partially snap back to its
original shape.

• After the pliers are removed, you will notice a slight
bump in the seal shape. Before the seal can be properly
resized, the bump in the seal should be removed as
much as possible. This can be done with either the
Phillips screwdriver or your fi nger. With either the side
of the screwdriver or your fi nger, apply light pressure
to the peak of the bump. This pressure will cause the
bump to be almost completely eliminated.

• Lubricate the edge of the shaft with NLGI grade 2
white EP bearing grease.

• Slowly insert the center shaft with a rotating motion.
This will complete the resizing of the seal.

• Perform these steps for the remaining seal.
