Safety Information

IMPORTANT

Read the safety warnings and instructions in this manual
before pump installation and start-up. Failure to comply with
the recommendations stated in this manual could damage the
pump and void factory warranty.

When the pump is used for materials that tend to settle out

or solidify, the pump should be ushed after each use to

prevent damage. In freezing temperatures the pump should be
completely drained between uses.

CAUTION

Before pump operation, inspect all fasteners for loosening

caused by gasket creep. Retighten loose fasteners to prevent
leakage. Follow recommended torques stated in this manual.

Nonmetallic pumps and plastic components are not UV
stabilized. Ultraviolet radiation can damage these parts and
negatively affect material properties. Do not expose to UV light
for extended periods of time.

gas will void the warranty.

WARNING

When used for toxic or aggressive uids, the pump should
always be ushed clean prior to disassembly.

Before maintenance or repair, shut off the compressed air line,
bleed the pressure, and disconnect the air line from the pump.

Be certain that approved eye protection and protective clothing
are worn at all times. Failure to follow these recommendations
may result in serious injury or death.

Airborne particles and loud noise hazards. Wear eye and ear
protection.

In the event of diaphragm rupture, pumped material may enter
the air end of the pump, and be discharged into the atmosphere.
If pumping a product that is hazardous or toxic, the air exhaust

must be piped to an appropriate area for safe containment.

Take action to prevent static sparking. Fire or explosion can

result, especially when handling ammable liquids. The pump,
piping, valves, containers and other miscellaneous equipment

must be properly grounded.

This pump is pressurized internally with air pressure during
operation. Make certain that all fasteners are in good condition
and are reinstalled properly during reassembly.

Materials

Material Prole:

CAUTION! Operating temperature limitations are as follows:

Conductive Acetal: Tough, impact resistant, ductile. Good
abrasion resistance and low friction surface. Generally inert, with
good chemical resistance except for strong acids and oxidizing
agents.

EPDM: Shows very good water and chemical resistance. Has
poor resistance to oils and solvents, but is fair in ketones and
alcohols.

FKM: (Fluorocarbon) Shows good resistance to a wide range
of oils and sovents; especially all aliphatic, aromatic and
halogenated hydrocarbons, acids, animal and vegetable oils.
Hot water or hot aqueous solutions (over 70°F) will attack FKM.

Hytrel®: Good on acids, bases, amines and glycols at room
temperatures only.

Neoprene: All purpose. Resistance to vegetable oils. Generally
not affected by moderate chemicals, fats, greases and many
oils and solvents. Generally attacked by strong oxidizing acids,
ketones, esters and nitro hydrocarbons and chlorinated aromatic
hydrocarbons.

Nitrile: General purpose, oil-resistant. Shows good solvent, oil,

water and hydraulic uid resistance. Should not be used with

highly polar solvents like acetone and MEK, ozone, chlorinated
hydrocarbons and nitro hydrocarbons.

Nylon: 6/6 High strength and toughness over a wide
temperature range. Moderate to good resistance to fuels, oils
and chemicals.

Polypropylene: A thermoplastic polymer. Moderate tensile

and ex strength. Resists stong acids and alkali. Attacked by

chlorine, fuming nitric acid and other strong oxidizing agents.

PVDF: (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) A durable uoroplastic with

excellent chemical resistance. Excellent for UV applications.
High tensile strength and impact resistance.

Santoprene®: Injection molded thermoplastic elastomer with

no fabric layer. Long mechanical ex life. Excellent abrasion

resistance.

UHMW PE: A thermoplastic that is highly resistant to a broad
range of chemicals. Exhibits outstanding abrasion and impact
resistance, along with environmental stress-cracking resistance.

Urethane: Shows good resistance to abrasives. Has poor
resistance to most solvents and oils.

Virgin PTFE: (PFA/TFE) Chemically inert, virtually impervious.
Very few chemicals are known to chemically react with PTFE;

molten alkali metals, turbulent liquid or gaseous uorine and
a few uoro-chemicals such as chlorine triuoride or oxygen
diuoride which readily liberate free uorine at elevated

temperatures.

Maximum and Minimum Temperatures are the limits for which these materials can be operated.
Temperatures coupled with pressure affect the longevity of diaphragm pump components.
Maximum life should not be expected at the extreme limits of the temperature ranges.

Principle of Pump Operation

SAFE AIR
EXHAUST
DISPOSAL
AREA

MUFFLER

Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps are powered
by compressed air or nitrogen.

The main directional (air) control valve
compressed air to an air chamber, exerting uniform pressure
over the inner surface of the diaphragm
the exhausting air
is directed through the air valve assembly(s) to an exhaust
port

.

④

As inner chamber pressure
pressure
together creating discharge on one side and suction on the
opposite side. The discharged and primed liquid’s directions

are controlled by the check valves (ball or ap)

The pump primes as a result of the suction stroke. The
suction stroke lowers the chamber pressure
the chamber volume. This results in a pressure differential
necessary for atmospheric pressure
through the suction piping and across the suction side check

valve and into the outer uid chamber

Suction (side) stroking also initiates the reciprocating
(shifting, stroking or cycling) action of the pump. The suction
diaphragm’s movement is mechanically pulled through its
stroke. The diaphragm’s inner plate makes contact with an
actuator plunger aligned to shift the pilot signaling valve.
Once actuated, the pilot valve sends a pressure signal to the
opposite end of the main directional air valve, redirecting the
compressed air to the opposite inner chamber.

LINE

Pump can be submerged if the pump materials of construction
are compatible with the liquid being pumped. The air exhaust
must be piped above the liquid level. When the pumped product

source is at a higher level than the pump (ooded suction

condition), pipe the exhaust higher than the product source to
prevent siphoning spills.

Installation And Start-Up

Locate the pump as close to the product being pumped as possible. Keep the suction line length and number of ttings to a minimum. Do not reduce the suction line

diameter.

Air Supply

Connect the pump air inlet to an air supply with sufcient capacity and pressure to achieve desired performance. A pressure regulating valve should be installed to

insure air supply pressure does not exceed recommended limits.

The air distribution system is designed to operate WITHOUT lubrication. This is the standard mode of operation. If lubrication is desired, install an air line lubricator
set to deliver one drop of SAE 10 non-detergent oil for every 20 SCFM (9.4 liters/sec.) of air the pump consumes. Consult the Performance Curve to determine air
consumption.

Air Line Moisture
Water in the compressed air supply may cause icing or freezing of the exhaust air, causing the pump to cycle erratically or stop operating. Water in the air supply can
be reduced by using a point-of-use air dryer.

Air Inlet And Priming

To start the pump, slightly open the air shut-off valve. After the pump primes, the air valve can be opened to increase air ow as desired. If opening the valve
increases cycling rate, but does not increase the rate of ow, cavitation has occurred. The valve should be closed slightly to obtain the most efcient air ow to pump
ow ratio.

Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds air
supply pressure).

Air valve or intermediate gaskets installed incorrectly. Install gaskets with holes properly aligned.

Bent or missing actuator plunger. Remove pilot valve and inspect actuator plungers.

Pump is over lubricated. Set lubricator on lowest possible setting or remove. Units are designed for lube free operation.

Lack of air (line size, PSI, CFM). Check the air line size and length, compressor capacity (HP vs. cfm required).

Check air distribution system. Disassemble and inspect main air distribution valve, pilot valve and pilot valve actuators.

Discharge line is blocked or clogged manifolds. Check for inadvertently closed discharge line valves. Clean discharge manifolds/piping.

Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds air
supply pressure).

Blocked air exhaust mufer. Remove mufer screen, clean or de-ice, and re-install.

Pumped uid in air exhaust mufer. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.

Pump chamber is blocked. Disassemble and inspect wetted chambers. Remove or ush any obstructions.

Cavitation on suction side. Check suction condition (move pump closer to product).

Check valve obstructed. Valve ball(s) not seating
properly or sticking.

Valve ball(s) missing (pushed into chamber or
manifold).

Valve ball(s)/seat(s) damaged or attacked by product. Check Chemical Resistance Guide for compatibility.

Check valve and/or seat is worn or needs adjusting. Inspect check valves and seats for wear and proper setting. Replace if necessary.

Suction line is blocked. Remove or ush obstruction. Check and clear all suction screens or strainers.

Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, lling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.

Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.

Pumped uid in air exhaust mufer. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.

Over lubrication. Set lubricator on lowest possible setting or remove. Units are designed for lube free operation.

Icing. Remove mufer screen, de-ice, and re-install. Install a point of use air drier.

Clogged manifolds. Clean manifolds to allow proper air ow

Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds air
supply pressure).

Cavitation on suction side. Check suction (move pump closer to product).

Lack of air (line size, PSI, CFM). Check the air line size, length, compressor capacity.

Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, lling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.

Air supply pressure or volume exceeds system hd. Decrease inlet air (press. and vol.) to the pump. Pump is cavitating the uid by fast cycling.

Undersized suction line. Meet or exceed pump connections.

Restrictive or undersized air line. Install a larger air line and connection.

Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.

Suction line is blocked. Remove or ush obstruction. Check and clear all suction screens or strainers.

Pumped uid in air exhaust mufer. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.

Check valve obstructed. Disassemble the wet end of the pump and manually dislodge obstruction in the check valve pocket.

Check valve and/or seat is worn or needs adjusting. Inspect check valves and seats for wear and proper setting. Replace if necessary.

Entrained air or vapor lock in chamber(s). Purge chambers through tapped chamber vent plugs. Purging the chambers of air can be dangerous.

Diaphragm failure, or diaphragm plates loose. Replace diaphragms, check for damage and ensure diaphragm plates are tight.

Diaphragm stretched around center hole or bolt holes. Check for excessive inlet pressure or air pressure. Consult Chemical Resistance Chart for compatibility

Cavitation. Enlarge pipe diameter on suction side of pump.

Excessive ooded suction pressure. Move pump closer to product. Raise pump/place pump on top of tank to reduce inlet pressure.

Misapplication (chemical/physical incompatibility). Consult Chemical Resistance Chart for compatibility with products, cleaners, temperature limitations

Incorrect diaphragm plates or plates on backwards,
installed incorrectly or worn.

Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, lling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.

Undersized suction line. Meet or exceed pump connections.

Pumped uid in air exhaust mufer. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.

Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.
