The following precautions should be taken when working with metering pumps.
Please read this section carefully prior to installation.
Protective Clothing
ALWAYS wear OSHA approved protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves
when working on or near your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken
depending on the solution being pumped. Refer to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the solution
being pumped.
Hearing Protection
It is recommended that hearing protection be used if the pump is in an environment where the
time weighted average sound level (TWA) of 85 dbA is exceeded.
Electrical Safety (Lock-out / Tag-out)
• Remove power and ensure that it remains off while maintaining pump.
• DO NOT FORGET TO CONNECT THE PUMP TO EARTH
• Electric protection of the motor (Thermal protection or by means of fuses) is to correspond
to the rated current indicated on the motor data plate.
Liquid Compatibility
Verify if the materials of construction of the wetted components of your pump are
recommended for the solution (chemical) to be pumped.
Pumps Water “Primed”
All pumps are tested with water at the factory. If your process solution is not approved with
water, ush the Pump Head Assembly with an appropriate solution before introducing the
process solution.
Plumbing and Electrical Connections
Always adhere to your local plumbing and electrical codes.
Line Depressurization
To reduce the risk of chemical contact during disassembly or maintenance, the suction and
discharge lines should be depressurized before servicing.
Over Pressure Protection
To ensure safe operation of the system it is recommended that some type of safety/pressure
relief valve be installed to protect the piping and other system components from damage due
to over-pressure.

SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The mRoy pump is a highly reliable controlled
volume pump of hydraulically actuated diaphragm
design. The family of MRA & MRB frame pumps are
further broken down into Model Codes. For ease
of discussion, this manual will refer to either frame
size as MRA and MRB rather than the specic
Model Code.The product codes for the MRA &
MRB are given in Figures 3 and 4. Historical Model
Codes prior to 1995 found in Appendix A.
1.2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Pump capacity is adjustable while the pump is
running or stopped. Capacity adjustment can be
made manually or automatically by a signal from
remote control instruments.
Repetitive accuracy of the metered discharge
volume is maintained within a ±1% range at
constant conditions of pressure, temperature and
pump capacity adjustment setting.
The mRoy pump is a reliable, compact, controlled
volume diaphragm pump for normal corrosive or
toxic chemicals and light slurries with viscosities up
to 200 S.S.U. (40 CPS). For higher viscosities, the
mRoy ”V” option available to 12,200 CPS.
A plunger, reciprocating at a xed stroke, displaces
a xed volume of hydraulic liquid, which actuates a
exible, chemically inert PTFE diaphragm to create
pumping action. Double ball check valves are used
on the suction and discharge to insure consistent
metering accuracy. Capacity control is established
by adjusting the volume of hydraulic liquid, which
bypasses the diaphragm cavity.
Metering with repetitive accuracy is possible only if
the volume of the hydraulic oil in the displacement
chamber is maintained constant for each stroke.
This is accomplished by mechanically opening
the displacement chamber to the oil reservoir for
a short period at the end of every suction stroke
and the beginning of each pressure stroke. During
this period air or vapor is bled from the system,
lost oil is replenished, and allowances are made
for the expansion or contraction of the oil due to
temperature change. For more information, refer
to Principle of Operation.
1.3 PUMP CHARACTERISTICS
For a general description of the mRoy pump you
have purchased, compare the model number and
product code printed on the pump’s data plate
shown in Figure 3 to the appropriate model number
and product code shown in Figures 4 through 6
and Figure 13.
1.4 PUMP PERFORMANCE
The charts in Figures 8 through 10 show the
performance ranges for all mRoy A & B pumps. If
appropriate, refer also to the derating table shown
in Figure 11.
1.5 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Pumping action is developed and controlled by
four basic components as follows (Figures 1 & 2)
1. The pump plunger “A” reciprocates with a
constant stroke length and displaces oil into and
out of the diaphragm chamber “C”.
2. The exible diaphragm “X” is a movable partition
between the plunger oil and liquid being
pumped.
3. An oil bypass circuit from the diaphragm
chamber “C” to the reservoir “D” through
passage “E” bypass port “H” and control spool
valve “F.”
4. A bypass control plunger “G” which moves with
and is directly coupled to the pump plunger to
correlate bypass shut off at port “H” to pump
plunger position.
In operation, as the pump plunger and bypass
control plunger move forward as shown in
Figure 1, the displaced oil is bypassed to the oil
reservoir until the control plunger “G” closes the
8Installation, Operations & Maintenance Manual
Page 9
SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
bypass port “H” as shown in Figure 2. Then the
balance of the plunger displacement is imposed on
the exible diaphragm that moves and displaces
the liquid being pumped through the discharge
ball checks.
On the suction stroke, the pump plunger pulls
oil out of the diaphragm cavity, which moves the
exible diaphragm and pulls liquid through the
suction ball checks. When the control plunger
“G” opens the bypass port “H” the balance of the
plunger oil displacement can be supplied from
the reservoir through the bypass passages. The
discharge capacity is adjusted from 0–100%
by rotating the adjustment knob that moves the
control spool valve “F” so that the bypass port “H”
is closed at the desired percentage of the total
plunger stroke. When the control spool valve is
adjusted to 100% capacity, the bypass port will be
positioned so that it is opened at the very end of
the suction stroke. Then on the pressure stroke,
the bypass port is immediately closed so the entire
plunger displacement is imposed upon the exible
diaphragm.
With the control spool valve adjusted for 50%
capacity, the bypass port will be positioned so that
it is opened when the plungers have completed
one-half of the suction stroke. On the next pressure
stroke, the oil displaced by the pump plunger will
be bypassed through the open port to the reservoir
for the rst 50% of the stroke, before the by-pass
port is closed by the control plunger. The remaining
50% of the plunger displacement will then be
imposed on the exible diaphragm so that liquid
is discharged for only 50% of the plunger travel. A
similar analysis would apply for 0% capacity setting
on the control spool valve where all the plunger oil
displacement is bypassed to the reservoir.

Units are shipped Ex Works and the title passes
to the customer when the carrier signs for receipt
of the unit. In the event that damages occur during
shipment, it is the responsibility of the customer to
notify the carrier immediately and to le a damage
claim. Carefully examine the shipping crate upon
receipt from the carrier to be sure there is no
obvious damage to the contents. Open the crate
carefully so accessory items fastened to the inside
of the crate will not be damaged or lost. Examine
all material inside the crate and check against the
packing list to be sure that all items are accounted
for and intact.
2.2 STORAGE
Short Term Storage (Less than 6 Months)
It is preferable to store the material under a shelter
in its original package to protect it from adverse
weather conditions. In condensing atmospheres,
follow the long term storage procedure.
Long Term Storage (Longer than 6 Months)
The primary consideration in storage of pump
equipment is to prevent corrosion of external and
internal components. This corrosion is caused
by natural circulation of air as temperature of the
surroundings change from day to night, day to day,
and from season to season. It is not practical to
prevent this circulation which carries water vapor
and other corrosive gasses, so it is necessary to
protect internal and external surfaces from their
effects to the greatest extent possible.
When the instructions given in this section are
completed, the equipment is to be stored in a
shelter; protected from direct exposure to weather.
The prepared equipment should be covered with a
plastic sheet or a tarpaulin, but in a manner which
will allow air circulation and prevent capture of
moisture. Equipment should be stored 12 inches
(.304 meters) or more above the ground.
If equipment is to be shipped directly from Milton
Roy into long term storage, contact Milton Roy to
arrange for long term storage preparation.
Pump Drive
1. Remove motor and flood the gearbox
compartment with a high grade lubricating
oil/rust preventative Mobile Oil Corporation
product Mobilarma 524 or approved equivalent.
Fill the compartment completely to minimize air
space. After storage, drain this oil and rell the
equipment with the recommended lubricant for
equipment commissioning.
2. Brush all unpainted metal surfaces with
multipurpose grease NLGI grade 2 or 3 or
approved equivalent. Store these unattached.
Electrical Equipment
1. Motors should be prepared in the manner
prescribed by their manufacturer. If information
is not available, dismount and store motors as
indicated in step 3 below.
2. Dismount electrical equipment (including
motors) from the pump.
3. For all electrical equipment, place packets of
Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VPCI) inside of
the enclosure, then place the entire enclosure,
with additional packets, inside a plastic bag.
Seal the bag tightly closed. Contact Milton Roy
Service Department for recommended VPCI
materials.

SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When installing, operating, and maintaining the
mRoy pump, keep safety considerations foremost.
Use proper tools, protective clothing, and eye
protection when working on the equipment and
install the equipment in compliance of NEC,
NEPA and local codes. Follow the instructions in
this manual and take additional safety measures
appropriate to the liquid being pumped. Be
extremely careful in the presence of hazardous
substances (e.g., corrosives, toxics, solvents,
acids, caustics, ammables, etc.).
2.4 PUMP MOUNTING&LIFTING/
LOCATION
The mRoy pump can be mounted on any surface
that is at and level for the support feet. Three
mounting bolt holes are provided in the support feet
for use when the pump is to be rmly anchored to
a base surface (see Figure 14.)
Increased reliability can be expected if pump
locations are avoided which are subjected to high
ambient temperatures above 100°F (38°C) with
poor free-air circulation over the pump assembly.
2.5 OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
The mRoy pump is designed as a totally enclosed
unit suitable for installation either indoors or
outdoors. However, for outdoor installations the
pump mounting area should be selected to provide
protection against environmental extremes:
1. Operation with continuous exposure to sunshine
with ambient temperatures above 90°F (32°C),
which would cause higher oil temperatures
and reduce lubricity should be avoided. Good
installation practice would dictate providing
a sun shade over the pump with open sides
to obtain the best air circulation around the
pump.
2. Frequent start-up where the pump has been idle
in an ambient temperature below 30°F (-1°C)
is not recommended. Provide a removable,
insulated enclosure over the pump and mounting
base with provisions for an electrical heater
(100 watt light, heat lamp, heater tape etc.) to
Lifting
Put the sling under the motor terminal box and
under the motor ange. Cross the two ends
of the sling and close the loop (see diagrams).
Before attempting to move it, check that the
entire unit is well balanced.
Note: As soon as the pump is in position, fasten
it down.

SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
maintain the pump oil temperature above 30°F
(-1°C).
2.6 FLANGE MOUNTED MOTORS
If a ange mounted motor option was selected for
the mRoy pump, the customer supplied motor will
need to be mounted to the pump. This is generally
a straight forward procedure. Refer to Figure 17 or
18, as appropriate.
When mounting the motor to a Close Coupled
Flange, the motor mount plate (710) must be
removed from the pump body and bolted to the
motor. The motor/motor mount plate assembly can
then be bolted to the pump.
2.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Check to be sure that the electrical supply
matches the pump motor nameplate electrical
characteristics. Motor rotation must be counter
clockwise when viewed from the top end of the
motor.
ON SINGLE-PHASE
PUMP MOTORS THE
ROTATION WILL BE DETERMINED AT THE
FACTORY AND MUST NOT BE CHANGED. ON
THREE-PHASE PUMP MOTORS THE ROTATION
MUST BE DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF
INSTALLATION AND PRIOR TO START-UP.
OPERATION WITH THE WRONG ROTATION WILL
DAMAGE THE PUMP AND MOTOR AND VOID THE
WARRANTY. SHAFT ROTATION CAN BE
OBSERVED BY REMOVING THE COVER PLATE
OVER THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
2.8 MOTORS
Adequate power is provided to the simplex mRoy A
pump by the standard ¼ HP (0.25 Kw) motor. The
motor is normally a totally enclosed non-ventilated,
type, that is mounted on a 56C-face ange or IEC
Frame 71 ange. The gear reducer (worm shaft) ts
onto the standard motor without using a coupling.
On the larger mRoy B (Figures 10-13), the normal
temperature rise for these motors is 50°C above
ambient temperature, and it can be expected
that these motors will appear to operate at higher
temperatures than are normally experienced.
However, there is no cause for worry if the following
precautions are observed:
1. The motor is placed where there is adequate
ventilation and is protected against excessive
radiation from steam pipes and other heat
sources.
2. The overload heater in the starting device should
be correctly sized for motor full load current
rating as shown on the motor data plate.
Note: For a motor that is supplied by the
customer, Milton Roy is not responsible for any
damage resulting from an improper installation
or for a motor that is not suitable for the
selected environment.

2.10 PIPING
General
Refer to Figure 15 for a diagram of a typical Piping
and Instrumentation Diagram.
Support all piping connections to the pump so
that no stress is placed on pump fittings. In
no case should the piping be sprung to make
the connections to the pump. The suction and
discharge cartridge pipe connections can be
positioned within an arc of approximately 150° to
facilitate piping to pump.
pressured start-up of the nal installation.
Install shut-off valves, with unions on the pump side
of the valves, in the suction and discharge lines to
facilitate servicing.
Use extreme care in piping to plastic liquid end
pumps with rigid pipe such as PVC. If excessive
stresses or vibration is unavoidable, flexible
connections are recommended.
NOTE:
Many pipe joint compounds are not suitable
for use with plastic pipe and, if used, will cause
stress cracking at the connection. Use only
compounds commended for use with plastic
materials.
Suction Piping
The suction piping must be absolutely tight and leak
free. For mRoy pumps on water-like solutions we
recommend that the suction pipe be ¾” minimum
diameter and a maximum of 6 feet (2 meters) long.
The intent is that the piping must be designed to
provide an adequate net positive suction head
(NPSH). Obtain our NPSH Calculation software at
the Milton Roy website (www.miltonroy.com). If
assistance in determining NPSH is needed, contact
the Milton Roy Aftermarket Service department
through the website (www.miltonroy.com)
A ooded suction is recommended for optimum
service life and maintenance-free operation.
However, the mRoy pump can operate with less
than ooded suction if necessary, in accordance
with the following schedule shown in the chart
below.
Flush and blow out all pipelines before connecting
the pump. This eliminates any foreign matter
that might seriously damage the internal working
parts of the liquid end. Install a 20 mesh Y-type
strainer that is sized to remove foreign particles
with minimum pressure drop in the suction line of
the pump. It is also recommended to perform a
leak test of the system with a neutral liquid before

further relief valve discussion. (Milton Roy offers a
complete line of back pressure and safety valves).
Refer to “Installation with Suction Lift,” which outlines
limiting conditions if suction lift requirements are
anticipated.
The supply tank should incorporate a low-level
switch to cut off the pump motor before the suction
intake is exposed to air. Otherwise, the pump may
occasionally run dry.
Discharge Piping
The installation of an external Safety Valve is
recommended, since the pump’s internal relief
valve is not intended to protect the piping system.
Refer to “Setting the Relief Valve” in Section 3, for
For satisfactory metering and capacity control,
the discharge pressure at the pump must be
50 PSI (3.5 Bar) minimum for the mRoy A and
70 PSI (4.8 Bar) minimum for the mRoy B.
Therefore, when the pump is to discharge into
an open system, a back pressure device must be
installed in the pump discharge line.

SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.11 OPERATION WITH SUCTION LIFT
It is desirable that the mRoy pump operate
with a ooded suction; however, operation with
net positive suction head (NPSH) less than
atmospheric pressure is possible.
NPSH is the head available, above the vapor
pressure of the liquid being pumped, to feed the
liquid into the pump suction port. NPSH minimum
is the head below which the pump cavitates.
Both values are calculated at the suction port of the
pump. In controlled volume pump applications, two
conditions must be considered in the selection of a
pump to meet the NPSH minimum requirements:
1. At the start of the suction stroke, the liquid in the
suction line has no velocity and NPSH minimum
depends on the force necessary to accelerate
the liquid in the suction pipeline.
2. At the peak of the suction stroke there is
no acceleration factor and NPSH minimum
depends on friction losses as calculated from
standard ow equations. With all viscous liquids
and in pilot plants and other places where
unusual numbers of fittings and valves are
used, the second condition that includes friction
losses should be considered. For water-like
liquids, the rst condition will dene the limiting
conguration.
For Static NPSH (Condition 1)
Available NPSH = Pa + Ph – Pv (must be equal
to or greater than minimum NPSH as listed under
Installation Instructions).
Required NPSH min = Sp. Gr. (0.0925) LpD
For Dynamic NPSH (Condition 2)
Available NPSH = Pa ± Ph – Pf Le (must be equal
to or greater than minimum NPSH as listed under
Installation Instructions).
D = Plunger Diameter (inches)
Dp = Pipe Diameter (inches)
Lp = Actual Length of suction pipe (feet)
Le = Equivalent length of suction pipe including
allowance for ttings (feet)
Pa = Ambient pressure above liquid (PSI)
Ph = Head of liquid column above (+) or below (–)
center line of plunger (PSI) equals Head in feet

Pv = Vapor pressure of liquid (PSI)
Pf = Friction loss per foot of pipe calculated from
Reynold Number evaluation (PSI) (Use 3.2
times average velocity for calculating friction
losses when referring to a standard pipe losses
table)
Minimum NPSH = Minimum hydraulic pressure
at plunger (listed under Installation Instructions).
When operating the pump with a NPSH of less
than atmospheric pressure (negative suction head
or suction lift), special attention should be given to
keep the suction line strainer clean and prevent
other system conditions that might inadvertently
decrease the NPSH available.
NOTE:
Obtain our NPSH calculation software at
the Milton Roy website (miltonroy.com). If
assistance in determining NPSH is needed,

1. Check the torque on all non-metallic head bolts
prior to startup. After one week of operation,
reduce torque on all nonmetallic head bolts.
Torque the head assembly screws in a crosswise
pattern (Figure 16) as follows:
a) mRoy Model A Plastic Heads: 60–70 in. lbs.

2. Check the oil level in air bleed ller reservoir up
to or slightly above the indicated oil level.
3. Set the capacity control knob to approximately
30- 40% of maximum capacity.
is recommended to collect this uid to safe
drain
point during this operation.
- First turn the pump ON
- Place the micrometer on the 50% position, for 10 minutes.
- Untighten the bleeder valve (360) by
around 1/4 turn located on the liquid end.
Thus, the air trapped in the suction piping and the pump head can escape via the
drain. Wait until the liquid comes up to the
evacuation level of this drain. Let it ow for a
few seconds in order to degas it completely,
then retighten the drain plug.
On initial start up with 0% capacity, run
the pump for 10–20 seconds, then stop for
20–30 seconds. Repeat a few times in or-
der to ll the diaphragm oil cavity. Check for
proper motor rotation as described in general
installation instructions. During these short
runs listen for any abnormal motor or crank
noises, and if present, refer to Section 5,
Troubleshooting.
4. Make certain that the suction line, liquid end
and discharge cartridge are lled with water or
system liquid.
5. Relieve all back pressure in the discharge line
and pump hydraulic system to allow air to purge.
Reduce pressure on the oil relief valve until air
is purged. Refer to “Start-Up after the Suction
System has Run Dry” section.
6. If practical, install a temporary discharge line
piped back to the suction tank incorporating
a 100 PSI (7 Bar) relief valve to facilitate
establishing performance during rst hours of
operation.

In order to prime the pump, it is necessary to
purge the liquid end (to release air) by
the bleeder valve (360). For toxic liquids, it

capacity to 100%, or if possible reduce the
discharge pressure to atmospheric pressure for
30 seconds to one minute).
The pump is now ready for calibration. Calculate
what the desired capacity as a percentage of
either the maximum capacity rating on the pump
data plate, or the nominal capacity at the required
system pressure. Each pump is tested at the
factory to conrm that the performance meets
these capacity-pressure requirements (tested
with water). Milton Roy offers a complete line of
calibration columns for calibrating the pump.
Start-Up after the Suction System has Run Dry
In applications where the suction tank does not
have a low level cutoff interconnected into the
pump motor circuit, the pump may occasionally run
dry. This should be avoided to ensure full integrity of
the diaphragm. Running the pump dry occasionally
for no longer than 2 minutes will not harm the
diaphragm or the pump. However, when the pump
is repeatedly allowed to run dry, especially for long
periods of time, the diaphragm is fatigued and could
fail before the next scheduled replacement.
Before restarting a pump that has run dry,
provisions should be made for lling the liquid
end with liquid by opening the discharge line to
atmospheric pressure to either rell liquid end
with ooded suction pressure or start pump with
open discharge and run for a short period of time
(up to 2 minutes) that will ‘prime’ the liquid end if
the ball checks are wet. If these steps fail, remove
the discharge cartridge and ll liquid end with
liquid through the top discharge opening in the
head. After establishing ow, return to the regular
discharge system conguration.
3.2 RESETTING THE RELIEF VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The mRoy pump incorporates an internal relief
valve that is preset at the factory to relieve
when the hydraulic liquid pressure exceeds
125 PSI (8.6 Bar). This setting can be readjusted
as required up to 15% above the maximum rated
pressure of the pump. Resetting the internal relief
valve will change the potential discharge pressure
of the pump.
Refer Figure 18 for a pictorial description of the
mechanism.
Examination of these figures will reveal a
small passage connecting the oil side of the
diaphragm head cavity with the oil reservoir
(See Figures 1 & 2). This passage is stopped off by
a poppet that is held in place by a spring secured
by a set screw. A plastic screw plug keeps the
adjusting threads free of dirt.
In operation, the spring-loaded poppet is held
against the seat in the housing until the pressure
in the oil side of the diaphragm cavity exceeds
the pressure for which the valve has been set.
When this occurs, the poppet is forced off its seat,
permitting the oil to ow from the diaphragm cavity
through the mechanical passage to an opening
(Figure 17) in the side of the oil reservoir. The
resilient material of the poppet permits the relief
valve to actuate without erosion of the poppet or
seat surface.

SECTION 3 - OPERATION
Relief Valve Setting
The Pump must be at operational pressure and
95% capacity setting.
1. Remove yellow plastic plug located at top of
pump next to the oil ll hole.
2. Using a 3/16” hex. key (mRoy A), or a 5/16”
hex. key (mRoy B) as required for the different
models, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to
increase cracking pressure until pump ceases
to bypass through the relief valve at the desired
working pressure. When relieving has stopped,
adjust the screw clockwise up to one full turn
beyond this point to set a reasonable buffer zone
between operating pressure and relief pressure.
To determine if relieving is taking place, insert
your index gure into the oil reservoir opening
and place it against the bypass opening
(Figure 17) where the oil pulse from the relief
valve can be determined.
FOR SAFETY REASONS, A
CHECK VALVE IS
RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN THE DISCHARGE LINE NEAR
THE POINT WHERE THE LINE ENTERS A HIGH PRESSURE
PROCESS VESSEL.
3.3 OPERATION
The mRoy pump is designed for reliable, unassisted
operation. During normal operation, a periodic
check of the pump is recommended every 24 or
48 hours to visually conrm satisfactory operation:
1. Make sure the oil level in the air bleed ller
reservoir is above the oil level mark.
2. Inspect the pump liquid end for indication of
leakage or seepage.
If anything seems to be abnormal, refer to Section
4, Maintenance.
3. Reinstall the plastic yellow plug
NOTE:
No moving parts are present in the oil reservoir
in this location.
WHEN OPERATING WITH
RELIEF VALVES, ESPECIALLY
ON PUMPS WITH LARGE PLUNGER SIZE, OIL MAY BE EJECTED
AT HIGH VELOCITY FROM THE BYPASS PORT. NORMAL
PRECAUTION SHOULD BE OBSERVED TO PREVENT THIS
FROM SPLASHING THE SURROUNDING AREA.
NOTE:
This relief is intended primarily for pump
protection in the event that the discharge or
suction system is blocked while the pump is in
operation. It is a good practice to install a highgrade chemical type relief valve in the pump
discharge line as close to the pump as possible,
and always between the pump and any shut-off
valve. Pipe the outlet of the system relief valve
back to the suction tank, with the open end of
the pipe visible at all times. In this way, relief
valve leakage may be easily detected.

SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
SERVICING OPERATION ON
THE METERING UNIT OR PIPES, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER FROM THE PUMP. TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO
ENSURE THAT ANY HARMFUL LIQUID IN THE PUMP OR PIPING
SYSTEM CANNOT ESCAPE OR COME INTO CONTACT WITH
PERSONNEL. SUITABLE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT MUST BE
PROVIDED. CHECK THAT THERE IS NO PRESSURE BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH DISMANTLING.
4.4 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The mRoy pump is designed for reliable service
with a minimum amount of maintenance required.
Part of regular maintenance includes:
• Clean the pump regularly to prevent dust or liquid
build-up.
• Check for leaks regularly.
• Check oil levels regularly to prevent pump
damage or overheating.
Yearly replacement of check valves, diaphragm,
and relief valve poppet is recommended. For
convenience, these parts are available in a Routine
Preventative Maintenance (RPM) Kit from your
local representative. RPM kit numbers are listed in
Section 1, Figure 7 (mRoy A) & Figure 12 (mRoy B).
valves are replaced on an annual basis. If highly
corrosive material (acids, slurries, etc.) is being
pumped, some applications may require more
frequent replacement.
In general, poor or reduced pump performance
indicates that the check valves need to be replaced
(refer to Section 5, Troubleshooting).
Complete instructions for replacing worn check
valves are given in the “Corrective Maintenance”
section.
The mRoy check valves are complete assemblies
manufactured at the factory and should not be
disassembled in the eld.
To determine if the check valves need replacement,
with the pump off and pressure removed from
system unscrew the check valve from the liquid end
and look through the hole in the check valve seat.
The ball should appear perfectly round and free of
pits, mars, or scratches. If the ball and/or seat is
excessively damaged, the replacement schedule
should be shortened accordingly. If the ball and
seat are both in good condition, the replacement
schedule can be lengthened.
4.7 DIAPHRAGM(S)
4.5 SEMI ANNUAL OIL CHANGE
The oil in the main housing should be drained twice
a year, using the drain plug provided, and new oil
installed. This can usually be scheduled to coincide
with the change from winter to summer grade
oil and vice versa. Refer to “Pump Lubricants”
in Section 2, Installation, for information on
recommended oil and oil capacity.
The mRoy PTFE diaphragm is extremely durable
and often lasts for many years. As a preventative
measure, Milton Roy recommends that the mRoy
diaphragm be replaced yearly to coincide with
check valve replacement. Also whenever the head
is removed freeing the diaphragm the diaphragm
must be replaced. Refer to the instructions in the
“Corrective Maintenance” section for diaphragm
replacement.
NOTE:
When adding oil, pour in a thin, slow stream
to avoid overow, then check level.
4.6 CHECK VALVE CARTRIDGES
Milton Roy Company recommends that the check

SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE
4.8 RELIEF VALVE POPPET
Milton Roy recommends that the relief valve
poppet be replaced yearly during preventative
maintenance. This can usually be timed to
coincide with check valve replacement. Refer to
the instructions in the “Corrective Maintenance”
section.
4.9 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
4.9.1 Check Valve Cartridge Replacement
With the exception of the mRoy A and L plastic
versions, mRoy suction and discharge check valve
cartridges are precision machined and assembled
at the factory. Do not attempt to disassemble
these cartridges. If they become inoperative, ush
them with Safety Solvent, wash them with warm
detergent and blow them out with compressed air
to remove any foreign matter. (Refer step 4, from
topic section 4.9.1.1). If this treatment does not
eliminate the trouble, the cartridge assembly should
be replaced. mRoy A plastic suction and discharge
check valve cartridges may be disassembled for
cleaning or parts replacement.
1. The check valve cartridge assemblies use
a SAE straight thread with an O-ring seal to
facilitate port alignment with the connecting
pipes. To remove the cartridge from the liquid
end, rst loosen the lock nut (520) one or two
threads then unscrew the cartridge.
2. Remove and discard the O-ring (540) and spiral
back-up ring (530).
3. On model MRA High Viscosity pumps only, the
ball in the suction port of the liquid end is not
sealed inside the suction check valve. This ball
should fall out easily when the suction check
valve is removed.
4. Carefully clean any parts to be reused. If any
chemicals are used in the cleaning process,
ensure that they are approved with the process
liquid.
Reassembly
1. To install the cartridge, position the lock nut
(520) toward the shoulder of the cartridge so that
the recess on the face of the lock nut is adjacent
to the O-ring (540) land (thread undercut) in the
cartridge.
2. Make certain the spiral back-up ring (530)
is coiled in a counterclockwise helix (this is
opposite the direction normally employed by
suppliers of these rings. Fit the spiral back-up
ring (530) in the lock nut (520) recess. Push
it rmly down in the recess as completely as
possible.
3. Install a new O-ring (540) against the spiral
back-up ring (530).
NOTE:
To assure a tight, leak free seal, new O-rings
and spiral back-up rings should be used each
time the check valves are disassembled.
4. On model mRoy “V’ option pumps only (Figure
19), the separate ball (570) needs to be balanced
on the end of the suction check valve cartridge
so that it will be held in place in the suction port
by the check valve when it is screwed in.
5. Screw the cartridge assembly into the liquid end
until the O-ring band is approximately level with
the top of the spot face in the liquid end, then
screw it in one (1) additional turn plus a partial
turn as required to align the pipe thread port
with connecting pipe.
29Installation, Operations & Maintenance Manual
Page 30
SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE
SUCTION AND CHECK VALVE
CARTRIDGES ARE NOT
IDENTICAL. BE SURE THAT THE CORRECT CARTRIDGE IS
BEING SCREWED INTO THE PROPER PORT. (DISCHARGE
CARTRIDGES HAVE HEXAGONAL CAP ON THE TOP; SUCTION
CARTRIDGES DO NOT.) IF CHECK VALVE CARTRIDGES ARE
INSTALLED INTO THE WRONG PORT, ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
WILL OCCUR: (A) IMMEDIATE SEVERE DAMAGE TO PUMP
MECHANISM, (B) NO PUMPING, (C) REVERSE PUMPING
ACTION (FROM DISCHARGE LINE INTO SUCTION LINE).
6. After completing pipe connection, tighten lock
nut (520) securely against spot face so that
O-ring (540) is trapped in chamfer of liquid end
thread. Make sure that the spiral back-up ring
(530) is completely contained in its recess and
not extending to the outside.
4.9.1.2 mRoy A Plastic, Current Design
(Figure 19)
Disassembly
1. Unscrew the check valve assembly from the
pump liquid end.
2. Both the suction and discharge check valves
may be disassembled in the same way. While
carefully holding the body use a 5/16” rod to
push out the internal parts. Do not damage the
sealing face (opposite the threaded end) on the
valve body. It is essential to reinstall the ball
guides and ball stop in the proper direction, so
take note during disassembly and follow the
assembly drawing.
3. Carefully clean any parts to be reused. If any
chemicals are used in the cleaning process,
ensure that they are approved with the process
liquid.
Reassembly
NOTE:
To assure a tight, leak free seal, new seals and
O-rings should be used each time the check
valves are disassembled.
1. Lightly coat the O-rings on the ball guides
with mineral oil or other food grade lubricant
(Refer step 3, from topic section 4.9.1.2). It is
essential to reinstall the ball guides and ball
stop in the proper direction. Remember the ball
always lifts off the seat in the direction of liquid
ow. The ball stop is used to retain the last ball
check on the suction cartridge.
2. Remove the old valve-to-head seal (435) from
the head and install a new seal. A fracture of
the diaphragm head may result from installing
the check valve against two seals or excessive
tightening. The groove in the seal is to be
oriented against the check valve body.
4.9.1.3 mRoy B Plastic Liquid End (Figure 24)
Disassembly
1. The mRoy B plastic check valves are held in
place by two long bolts (521) that extend through
the diaphragm head. Unscrew the nuts (519) to
remove the check valves from the liquid end.
Use caution when doing so, as the suction check
valve and compression plate (518) will fall off
when the bolt is removed.
2. Remove and discard the check valve O-rings
(540).
3. Carefully clean any parts to be reused. If any
chemicals are used in the cleaning process,
ensure that they are approved with the process
liquid.
Reassembly
NOTE:
To assure a tight, leak free seal, new O-rings
should be used each time the check valves are
disassembled.
1. The discharge check valve consists of two
separate pieces that are shipped held together
30Installation, Operations & Maintenance Manual
Page 31
SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE
with masking tape. Leaving the masking tape
in place during assembly will make the process
easier. These parts already have an O-ring in
place between them.
2. Drop a new O-ring (540) into position in the
discharge port of the liquid end. Slip the entire
discharge cartridge (still held together with
masking tape) into the discharge port (only one
end will t in).
3. Screw a nut (521) two or three turns (just enough
to hold) on one end of each through bolt. Slide
the compression plate over the discharge
cartridge (517). Slip the bolts (521) through the
holes in the compression plate and diaphragm
head so that they fall through and hang out the
bottom.
4. Fit a new O-ring (540) into position on the top
of the suction cartridge.
5. Insert the suction cartridge and O-ring up into
the suction port of the liquid end. Position the
other compression plate (518) under the suction
check valve by sliding it up on the bolts. Screw
on the two remaining nuts (519). The suction
check valve should now be held in place in the
liquid end. Tighten the nuts on the through bolts
rmly. Do not over-tighten or plastic ttings may
be damaged.
4.9.2 Relief Valve Poppet Replacement
(Figure 18)
If the pump is allowed to operate for long periods
with the relief valve relieving pressure, there is a
possibility that the poppet will wear, causing erratic
ow and discharge pressure. If this occurs, the relief
valve poppet should be replaced. Even if excessive
wear has not occurred, it is still recommended that
the poppet be replaced on a yearly basis.
2. Unscrew and remove the relief valve adjustment
screw (50).
3. Remove the relief valve spring (40). A pair of
tweezers may be required to remove the spring
from the relief valve port.
4. Remove the relief valve poppet (30) with a
tweezer or by “jogging” the motor, causing oil to
ow up through the relief port to oat the poppet
up and out of the threaded hole.
Reassembly
1. Temporarily secure a new poppet (30) into the
end of the spring (40) with thick grease. Drop
this assembly into place in the relief valve
port.
2. Install the relief valve adjustment screw (50) until
the spring (40) is lightly compressed. Follow the
instructions for resetting the relief valve given in
Section 3, Operation.
4.9.3 Diaphragm replacement (Figure 19-26)
The mRoy A & B models have different assembly
depending on whether they have leak detection.
Be sure to refer to the appropriate Figure (19-26)
when replacing the diaphragm(s).
Disassembly
1. Remove the eight (8) bolts (350 or 355) from
the diaphragm head (330), depending on the
model.
2. Remove the diaphragm (290).
3. Remove the contour plate(s) (282).

is removed in order to replace or inspect the motor
or the gears.
Disassembly
1. Remove oil drain plug and drain oil.
2. Remove the screws that attach the motor to the
pump.
3. On plate mounted units, remove motor; the
gear shaft may come out as well. If the motor
separates from the worm shaft (640), use care
not to lose the shaft key and coil spring.
4. Remove worm assembly (120).
5. On units with API motor mount adapters;
removal of the motor and adapter together will
also lift the worm gear shaft from the pump.
Reassembly
