Saniflex™ –28.9°C to 104.4°C –20°F to 220°F
PTFE 4.4°C to 104.4°C 40°F to 220°F
CAUTION: When choosing pump materials, be sure
to check the temperature limits for all wetted components. Example: Viton
(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
significantly reduce maximum safe operating temperatures. Consult engineering guide for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
CAUTION: Always wear safety glasses when operating pump. If diaphragm rupture occurs, material being
pumped may be forced out air exhaust.
WARNING: Prevention of static sparking — If static
sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result. Pump,
valves, and containers must be properly grounded when
handling flammable fluids and whenever discharge of
static electricity is a hazard.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply
pressure.
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 fluid to flow into a suitable container.
®
has a maximum limit of 176.7°C
CAUTION: Blow out air line for 10 to 20 seconds
before attaching to pump to make sure all pipe line
debris is clear. Use an in-line air filter. A 5µ (micron) air
filter is recommended.
NOTE: When installing PTFE diaphragms, it is important to tighten outer pistons simultaneously (turning in
opposite directions) to ensure tight fit.
NOTE: Tighten clamp bands and retainers prior to installation. Fittings may loosen during transportation.
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: Verify the chemical compatibility of the
process and cleaning fluid to the pump’s component
materials in the Chemical Resistance Guide (see E4).
CAUTION: When removing the end cap using
compressed air, the air valve end cap may come out
with considerable force. Hand protection such as a
padded glove or rag should be used to capture the
end cap.
CAUTION: Only explosion proof (NEMA 7) solenoid
valves should be used in areas where explosion proof
equipment is required.
NOTE: All non lube-free air-operated pumps must be
lubricated. Wilden suggests an arctic 5 weight oil (ISO
grade 15). Do not over-lubricate pump. Over-lubrication will reduce pump performance.
NOTE: On cast iron pumps equipped with PTFE
diaphragms, balls and sealing rings, PTFE gasket kits
should be utilized.
NOTE: UL-listed pumps must not exceed 3.4 bar (50
psig) air supply pressure.

SECTION 3
THE WILDEN PUMP — HOW IT WORKS
The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show the flow
pattern through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.
RIGHT STROKEMID STROKELEFT STROKE
FIGURE 1 The air valve directs pressurized air to the back side of diaphragm
A. The compressed air is applied directly
to the liquid column separated by elastomeric diaphragms. The diaphragm
acts as a separation membrane between
the compressed air and liquid, balancing the load and removing mechanical stress from the diaphragm. The
compressed air moves the diaphragm
away from the center block 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 of the pump.
The movement of diaphragm B toward
the center block of the pump creates a
vacuum within chamber B. Atmospheric
pressure forces fluid into the inlet manifold forcing the inlet valve ball off its
seat. Liquid is free to move past the inlet
valve ball and fill the liquid chamber (see
shaded area).
FIGURE 2 When the pressurized
diaphragm, diaphragm A, reaches the
limit of its discharge stroke, the air valve
redirects pressurized air to the back
side of diaphragm B. The pressurized
air forces diaphragm B away from the
center block while pulling diaphragm A
to the center block. Diaphragm B is now
on its discharge stroke. Diaphragm B
forces the inlet valve ball onto its seat
due to the hydraulic forces developed
in the liquid chamber and manifold of
the pump. These same hydraulic forces
lift the discharge valve ball off its seat,
while the opposite discharge valve ball is
forced onto its seat, forcing fluid to flow
through the pump discharge. The movement of diaphragm A toward the center
block of the pump creates a vacuum
within liquid chamber A. Atmospheric
pressure forces fluid into the inlet manifold of the pump. The inlet valve ball
is forced off its seat allowing the fluid
being pumped to fill the liquid chamber.
FIGURE 3 At completion of the stroke,
the air valve again redirects air to the
back side of diaphragm A, which starts
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 conditions of the application.

Flow curves are for “optimal speed” conditions only. The “optimal speed” is that speed which
provides the maximum flow under a particular air and fluid pressure condition. The optimal speed
varies for different fluid and air pressures. Recommendations for optimal speed can be found on
the right side of the flow curve.
Flow rates indicated on chart were determined by pumping water.

Flow curves are for “optimal speed” conditions only. The “optimal speed” is that speed which
provides the maximum flow under a particular air and fluid pressure condition. The optimal speed
varies for different fluid and air pressures. Recommendations for optimal speed can be found on
the right side of the flow curve.
Flow rates indicated on chart were determined by pumping water.
For optimum life and performance, pumps should be specified so that daily operation parameters
will fall in the center of the pump performance curve.

SECTION 7A
INSTALLATION – T4 METAL
AIR-OPERATED PUMPS
The Model T4 Metal pump has a 38 mm (1-1/2") inlet and
32 mm (1-1/4") outlet and is designed for flows to 307 lpm
(81 gpm).
parts of aluminum, cast iron, or stainless steel. The T4 Metal
pump comes with either a center block or center section. The
T4 center block is constructed of aluminum or nickel-plated
aluminum. The T4 center section comes in polypropylene.
The air distribution system consists of a brass air valve body,
aluminum piston, Glyd™ rings and a bronze center section
bushing. A variety of diaphragms, valve balls, valve seats,
and o-rings are available to satisfy temperature, chemical
compatibility, abrasion and flex concerns.
The suction pipe size should be at least 38 mm (1-1/2")
diameter or larger if highly viscous material is being pumped.
The suction hose must be non-collapsible, reinforced type
as the T4 is capable of pulling a high vacuum. Discharge
piping should be at least 32 mm (1-1/4"); larger diameter can
be used to reduce friction losses. It is critical that all fittings
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 that “utility” equipment be situated away from
the production floor. Multiple installations with conflicting
requirements can result in congestion of utility areas, leaving
few choices for siting of additional pumps.
Within the framework of these and other existing conditions,
every pump should be located in such a way that four key factors
are balanced against each other to maximum advantage.
1. 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.
2. 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 (see pump performance
chart). Use air pressure up to a maximum of 8.6 bar (125
psig) depending upon pumping requirements. The use of an
air filter before the pump will ensure that the majority of any
pipeline contaminants will be eliminated. For best results,
the pumps should use an air filter, regulator, and lubricator
system.
3. SOLENOID OPERATION: the pumps should use a 5µ
micron air filter, needle valve and regulator. The use of an
air filter before the pump will ensure that the majority of any
pipeline contaminants will be eliminated.
4. ELEVATION: Selecting a site that is well within the pump’s
suction lift capability will assure that loss-of-prime troubles will
be eliminated. In addition, pump efficiency can be adversely
affected if proper attention is not given to elevation (see pump
performance chart).
The T4 Metal pump is manufactured with wetted
5. PIPING: Final determination of the pump site should not
be made until the piping problems 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 the straightest hook-up of suction and discharge
piping. Unnecessary elbows, bends, and fittings should be
avoided. Pipe sizes should be selected so as to keep friction
losses within practical limits. All piping should be supported
independently of the pump. In addition, it should line up
without placing stress on the pump fittings.
Expansion joints 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 foundation, a mounting
pad placed between the pump and 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 should be installed
to protect the pump, piping and gauges from surges and
water hammer.
When pumps are installed in applications involving flooded
suction or suction head pressures, a gate valve should be
installed in the suction line to permit closing of the line for
pump service.
The T4 can be used in submersible applications only when both
wetted and non-wetted portions are com patible with the material
being pumped. If the pump is to be used in a submersible
application, a hose should be attached to the pump’s air exhaust
and the exhaust air piped above the liquid level.
If the pump is to be used in a self-priming application, be
sure that all connections are airtight and that the suction lift is
within the pump’s ability. Note: Materials of construction and
elastomer material have an effect on suction lift parameters.
Please refer to pump performance data.
Pumps in service with a positive suction head are most
efficient when inlet pressure is limited to 0.5–0.7 bar (7–10
psig). Premature diaphragm failure may occur if positive
suction is 0.8 bar (11 psig) and higher.
THE MODEL T4 WILL PASS 4.8 mm (3/16") SOLIDS. THE M4
STALLION WILL PASS 13 mm (1/2") SOLIDS. WHENEVER
THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT LARGER SOLID OBJECTS
MAY BE SUCKED INTO THE PUMP, A STRAINER SHOULD
BE USED ON THE SUCTION LINE.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED 8.6 BAR (125 PSIG) AIR SUPPLY
PRESSURE. (3.4 BAR [5O PSIG] FOR UL MODELS.)
PUMPS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY FLUSHED WITH
WATER BEFORE INSTALLING INTO PROCESS LINES.

SUGGESTED INSTALLATION
Accu-Flo™ pumps: Accu-Flo™ pumps function
with solenoid valves and require an electrical control
circuit to supply pulses. Under normal operating
conditions, the control circuit is sufficient for starting
and stopping the pump. However, the shut off valve
(user supplied) installed in the air supply line can
be used to stop the pump if necessary. Therefore, it
shoud be located far enough away from the pumping
equipment such that it can be reached safely in an
emergency situation.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the shutoff
valve should be closed, if the restarting of the pump
is not desirable once power is regained.
®
AIR-OPERATED PUMPS: To stop the pump from operating in an emergency situation, simply close the shut-off valve (user supplied) installed in the air
supply 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.
SECTION 7B – AIR OPERATION
SUGGESTED OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION: Pump discharge rate can be controlled by
limiting the volume and/or pressure of the air supply to the
pump (preferred method). An air regulator is used to regulate air pressure. A needle valve is used to regulate volume.
Pump discharge rate can also be controlled by throttling the
pump discharge by partially closing a valve in the discharge
line of the pump. This action increases friction loss which
reduces flow rate. 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 fluid discharge pressure or increasing
the air inlet pressure. The Wilden T4 pump runs solely on
compressed air and does not generate heat, therefore your
process fluid temperature will not be affected.
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.
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 fluid 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.

SECTION 7C
OPERATING PRINCIPLES BEHIND
ACCU-FLO™ PUMPS
In Accu-Flo™ pump models, the standard air valve is replaced
with a two position, four-way solenoid valve that has a single
operator and spring return. The valve is internally air piloted
for longer coil and operator life.
When the solenoid is unpowered, one air chamber is pressurized with air, while the opposite chamber is exhausted.
When electric power is applied, the solenoid shifts, and the
pressurized air chamber is exhausted while the opposite
chamber is pressurized. By alternately applying and removing power, the solenoid-operated pump runs like a standard
Wilden pump.
The speed of the pump is controlled electrically. Since each
stroke is controlled by an electrical signal, the pump is ideal
for batching and other electrically controlled dispensing applications.
Although the speed of the pump is controlled electrically,
the air pressure is important. Air pressure displaces the fluid,
and if the pressure is insufficient to complete the physical
stroke before an electronic impulse signals the pump to shift,
the stroke will not be completed, and the displacement per
stroke will be reduced. This does not harm the unit in any
way, but it may cause inaccuracy when attempting to batch
specific quantities with high precision if this effect is not
taken into account.
There are three coil voltage options available. One coil allows
for 24V DC operation. The second coil option allows for
operation with either 12V DC or 24V AC at 60 Hz and the third
coil option allows for 110V AC operation.
SECTION 7D
INSTALLATION – A4 METAL
ACCU-FLO™ PUMPS
Before installing your A4 Accu-Flo™ pump, review Section
7A for general installation suggestions including Location,
Access, Air Supply, Elevation, and Piping.
The Accu-Flo™ Model A4 has a 38 mm (1-1/2") inlet and
32 mm (1-1/4") outlet and is designed for flows to 196 lpm
(52 gpm). This maximum flow rate was calculated at 200
strokes per minute with 8.3 bar (120 psig) air inlet against 0
bar (0 psig) discharge head. The A4 Metal pump is manufactured with wetted parts of polypropylene or PVDF. The
center section of the A4 Metal pump is of aluminum or polypropylene construction. A variety of diaphragms, valve balls,
and o-rings are available to satisfy temperature, chemical
compatibility, abrasion and flex concerns.
All wiring used to operate the pump should be placed and
connected according to the proper electrical codes. It is
important that the wiring is of adequate gauge to carry
the current required to operate the pump. In addition, it is
necessary that the electrical power supply is large enough
to supply the current required to operate the pump. Wiring
should be above ground level if possible (in case of fluid
spill or leakage), and all wiring and connections which could
become wet or damp should be made watertight.
If the pump is to be used in a self-priming application, be
sure that all connections are airtight and that the suction lift
is within the pump’s ability. Note: Materials of construction
and elastomer material have an effect on suction lift parameters. Please refer to pump performance data.
Pumps in service with a positive suction head are most efficient when inlet pressure is limited to 0.5–0.7 bar (7–10 psig).
Premature diaphragm failure may occur if positive suction
head is 0.8 bar (11 psig) and higher.
The solenoid valve is rated for continuous duty; however,
stopping on an even number stroke count insures that the
electrical power is off when pump is stopped. This practice is
safer and also eliminates unwanted strokes when the system
is shut down and electrical power is off.
THE MODEL A4 WILL PASS 4.8 mm (3/16") SOLIDS. THE M4
STALLION WILL PASS 13 mm (1/2") SOLIDS. WHENEVER
THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT LARGER SOLID OBJECTS
MAY BE SUCKED INTO THE PUMP, A STRAINER SHOULD
BE USED ON THE SUCTION LINE.
WARNING: Before installation, consult chart in Section
10B to ensure proper electrical connection.
WARNING: The solenoid valve should not be used in
an area where explosion proof equipment is required
unless NEMA 7 valve is specified.
There are three coil options available in both NEMA 4 and
NEMA 7 ratings. One coil allows for 110V AC operation, one
allows for 24V DC operation, and the third allows for either
24V AC or 12V DC operation. Consult Section 10C for reference and part numbers.

OPERATION: The speed of the pump is controlled electrically.
Since each stroke is controlled by an electrical signal, the
pump is ideal for batching and other electrically controlled

Although the speed of the pump is controlled electrically,
the air pressure is important. Air pressure displaces the fluid,

the stroke will not be completed, and the displacement per
stroke will be reduced. This does not harm the unit in any
way, but it may cause inaccuracy when attempting to batch
specific quantities with high precision.
The solenoid operated pump is permanently lubricated
during assembly, and requires no additional lubrication
under normal operation. If the unit runs under extreme
conditions (continuous operation at high speeds), it may
be necessary to relubricate the center block with a Buna-Ncompatible NLGI Grade 2 grease every 50 million cycles.
Continuous lubrication with a compatible oil is not harmful,
and will provide longer seal life, but it may flush all grease
out of the unit.
A red button on the side of the air valve is a manual override; when actuated it will shift the valve as if an electric
current had actuated the solenoid.
RECORDS: When service is required, a record should be
made of all necessary repairs and replacements. Over a

TROUBLESHOOTING
Pump will not run or runs slowly.
1. Check air inlet screen and air filter for debris.
2. Check for sticking air valve, flush air valve in solvent.
3. Check for worn out air valve. If piston face in air valve is
shiny instead of dull, air valve is probably worn beyond
working tolerances and must be replaced.
4. Check center block Glyd™ rings. If worn excessively, they
will not seal and air will simply flow through pump and out
air exhaust. Use only Wilden Glyd™ rings as they are of
special construction and ISO 15-5 wt oil with arctic characteristics.
5. Check for rotating piston in air valve.
6. Check type of lubricant being used. A higher viscosity
oil than suggested may cause the piston to stick or run
erratically. Wilden suggests the use of a hydraulic oil with
arctic characteristics (ISO 15-5 wt).

1. Check for pressurized air at the inlet. (Min. 3.1 bar [45
psig].)
2. Check air inlet and filter for debris.
3. Connect a test lamp to the two wires which run to pump
and ensure that the lamp cycles on and off.
4. Make sure that the air valve manual override (small red
knob on front of valve) is switched to the “0” position.
5. Check pilot pressure vent at the top of the operator/coil
assembly to ensure that it is not clogged.
6. Check for a worn out air valve. If air continually blows out
the exhaust in very large quantities, the air valve seals
may be worn beyond their ability to function. In this case,
the valve must be replaced.
NOTE: Before the valve is scrapped, it is possible that it may
be saved by completely disassembling the valve, cleaning all
components and relubricating the valve.
Pump runs but little or no fluid comes out.
1. Check that the discharge isolation valve is not closed.
2. Check that the electronic signal is slow enough that the
pump is able to complete each physical stroke before
it is signaled to change direction. The time required to
complete the stroke is determined by a variety of factors
which include fluid viscosity and head pressure. The shaft
can be viewed if the muffler is removed to verify that the
pump is stroking.
3. Check for pump cavitation; slow pump speed down to
match the thickness of the material being pumped.
4. Check for sticking ball check valves. If the material being

SECTION 8B
TURBO-FLO™ AIR VALVE/
CENTER BLOCK
DIRECTIONS FOR DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
The air valve assembly consists of both the air valve body and
piston and the center block. The unique design of the air valve
relies only on differential pressure to effect the diaphragm shift.
It is reliable and simple to maintain. The bushing in the center
block, along with the diaphragm shaft, provides the “trigger”
to tell the air valve to shift. The following procedure will ensure
that the air valve on your Wilden pump will provide long
trouble-free service.
AIR VALVE ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY:
The air valve (P/N 04-2000-07) can be disconnected from
the pump by removing the four socket head cap screws
which attach it to the center block. The piston should move
freely and the ports in the piston should line up with the
ports on the face of the air valve body (see Figure D). The
piston should also appear to be dull, dark gray in color. If the
piston appears to be a shiny aluminum color, the air valve
is probably worn beyond working tolerances and should be
replaced.
If the piston does not move freely in the air valve, the entire
air valve should be immersed in a cleaning solution. [NOTE:
Do not force the piston by inserting a metal object.] This
soaking should remove any accumulation of sludge and
grit which is preventing the air valve piston from moving
freely. Also, remove and clean the air valve screen (P/N 042500-03). If the air valve piston does not move freely after
the above cleaning, the air valve should be disassembled
as follows: Remove the snap ring from the top end of the
air valve cylinder and apply an air jet to the 3/16-inch hole
on the opposite end of the air valve face (see Figure C). CAUTION: The air valve end cap may come out with considerable force. Inspect the piston and cylinder bore for nicks
and scoring.

Small nicks can usually be dressed out and the piston
returned to service. Inspect the cylinder end caps (P/N 042300-23 has the piston guide pin and P/N 04-2330-23 does
not.) Make sure that the guide pin is straight and smooth or
the piston will not move freely in the cylinder. Inspect the
anti-centering pin holes found at the ends of the air valve
piston and ensure they are free of debris. New o-rings (P/N
04-2390-52) should be installed on the end caps. Lubricate
the o-rings with an arctic 5 weight hydraulic oil (ISO grade
15) and install the end caps, assuring that proper alignment
of the piston and cylinder ports is maintained (see Figure D).
Reinstall air valve to center block of pump. Tighten per the
torque specification*.
GLYD™ RING REPLACEMENT:
When the Glyd™ rings become worn, they will no longer seal
and must be replaced. Due to the design characteristics of
the Glyd™ rings, it is suggested that you use the Ringer Seal
installation kit when replacing Glyd™ rings. Consult EOMRinger for installation instructions.
CENTER BLOCK ASSEMBLY
(P/N 04-3100-01-225):
The pump’s center block (P/N 04-3100-01-225) consists of a die
cast housing with a cast-in-bronze bushing (Figure G). Figure H shows T4 injection-molded polypropylene center section
(P/N 04-3150-20) and alignment with air valve. The bushing
has eleven grooves cut on the inside diameter. There are seven
Glyd™ rings that fit in these grooves (see Figure E). Since
these Glyd™ rings form a part of the shifting function of
the pump, it is necessary that they be located in the proper
grooves. The bronze bushing is replaceable in cast iron
center block only. When bushing wear becomes excessive,
a new center block must be used.

REASSEMBLY HINTS & TIPS
ASSEMBLY:
Upon performing applicable maintenance to the air distribution system, the pump can now be reassembled. 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 first, then the diaphragms and finally
the wetted path. Please find the applicable torque specifications on this page. The following tips will assist in the
assembly process.
• Clean the inside of the center section shaft bushing to
ensure no damage is done to new seals.
• Stainless bolts should be lubed to reduce the possibility
of seizing during tightening.
• Be sure to tighten outer pistons simultaneously on PTFEfitted pumps to ensure proper torque values.

SECTION 8D
GASKET KIT INSTALLATION
The Wilden T4 cast iron pumps require PTFE gasket tape
on the liquid chambers (P/N 04-9502-99). Other pump types
may use PTFE gasket kits for additional sealing characteristics.
During reassembly follow the procedures listed in your
pump’s Engineering, Operation and Maintenance manual.
Carefully prepare sealing surfaces by removing all debris and
foreign matter from diaphragm bead and all mating surfaces.
If necessary, smooth or deburr all sealing surfaces. Mating
surfaces must be properly aligned in order to ensure positive
sealing characteristics.
Always wear safety glasses when performing maintenance
on any Wilden product.
Step 1
Gently remove the adhesive covering from the back of the
PTFE tape. Ensure that the adhesive strip remains attached
to the PTFE tape.
Step 2
Starting at any point, place the PTFE tape in the center of
the diaphragm bead groove on the liquid chamber and press
lightly on the tape to ensure that the adhesive holds in place
during assembly. Do not stretch the tape during placement
in the center of diaphragm bead groove.
Step 3
The end of the tape should overlap approximately 13 mm
(1/2"). Proceed to install the PTFE tape on the remaining
diaphragm.
