WARNING: Prevention of static sparking — If static sparking
occurs, fire or explosion could result . Pump, valves, and
containers must be grounded to a proper grounding point when
handling flammable fluids and whenever discharge of static
electricity is a hazard.
CAUTION : Do n ot exceed 8. 6 bar (125 ps ig) air supp ly press ure.
CAUTION : The process fluid and cleaning fluids must be
chemically compatible with all wetted pump components.
Consult Chemical Resistance Guide (E4).
CAUTION : Pumps should be thoroughly flushed 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 fluid to flow 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 filter. A 5μ (micron) air filter is recommended.
NOTE: When installing PTFE diaphragms, it is impor tant
to tighten outer pistons simul taneously ( turning in opposite
directions ) to ensure tight fit. (See torque specifications in
Section 7.)
NOTE: Before star ting disassembly, mark a line from each
liquid chamber to i ts corresponding air chamber. This line will

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

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

HOW IT WORKS—AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
®
The Pro-Flo
patented air distribution system incorporates two
moving parts : the air valve spool and the pilot spool. The heart of
the system is the air valve spool and 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 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 actuates 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.

SUCTION-LIFT CURVE
P2 METAL
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 that can affect your
pump’s operating characteristics. The number of intake
and discharge elbows, viscosity of pumping fluid, elevation
(atmospheric pressure) and pipe friction loss all affect the
amount of suction lift your pump will attain.

Section 6
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 flex 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 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
where equipment will be situated on the production floor. Multiple
installations with conflicting 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 the following 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 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.
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 figure by the displacement per stroke.
MUFFLER: Sound levels are reduced below OSHA specifications
using the standard Wilden muffler. Other mufflers 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 efficiency 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 fittings 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
fittings.
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 specifics.
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.
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 0.7 bar (10 psig)
and higher.
NOTE: Pro-Flo
ALL WILDEN PUMPS ARE CAPABLE OF PASSING SOLIDS. A
STRAINER SHOULD BE USED ON THE PUMP INTAKE TO ENSURE
THAT THE PUMP'S RATED SOLIDS CAPACITY IS NOT EXCEEDED.

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.

Page 12
SUGGESTED OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION: Pro-Flo® pumps are pre-lubricated, and
do 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. A
regulator is used to control air pressure while a needle
valve is used to control 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. (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 fluid
discharge pressure or increasing the air inlet pressure.

and do not generate heat, therefore your process fluid
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 fluid all af fect
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 0.3 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 filter for debris (see SUGGESTED
INSTALLATION).
3. Check for extreme air leakage (blow by) which
would indicate worn seals/bores in the air valve,
pilot spool and 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 shif t.
7. Remove plug from pilot spool exhaust.
Pump runs but little or no product flows.
1. Check for pump cavitation; slow pump speed down
to allow thick material to flow into liquid chambers.

AIR VALVE/CENTER SECTION DISASSEMBLY
TOOLS REQUIRED:
• 3/16" Hex Head Wrench
• 7/32" Hex Head Wrench
• Snap-Ring Pliers
• O-Ring Pick
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 the
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. Be aware of
any hazardous effects of contact with your process fluid.
Step 1
Using a 3/16” hex head wrench,
loosen the air valve bolts.

Step 2
Remove the air valve and muffler
plate from the center section.
Step 3
Remove air valve end cap to expose
air valve spool. NOTE: The end cap
cannot be removed until removing
air valve bolts.

AIR VALVE/CENTER SECTION DISASSEMBLY
Step 4
Remove air valve spool from air
valve body by threading one air valve
bolt into the end of the spool and
gently sliding the spool out of the air
valve body. Inspect seals for signs of
wear and replace entire assembly if
necessary. Use caution when handling
air valve spool to prevent damaging
seals. NOTE: Seals should not be
removed from assembly. Seals are not
sold separately.
Step 5
Remove pilot spool retaining snap
ring on both sides of center section
with snap-ring pliers.
Step 7
Using an O-ring pick, gently remove
the pilot spool retaining O-ring from
the opposite side of the notched end
of the spool. Gently remove the pilot
spool from pilot spool sleeve and
inspect for nicks, gouges and other
signs of wear.
Replace pilot spool assembly or
outer sleeve O-rings if necessary.
During re-assembly never insert the
pilot spool into the sleeve with the
“notched” end side first, this end
incorporates the urethane O-ring and
will be damaged as it slides over the
ports cut in the pilot spool sleeve.
Step 6
Remove pilot spool assembly from
center section.

REASSEMBLY HINT & 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 bore to ensure
no damage is done to new seals.
• Stainless bolts should be lubed to reduce the possibility of
seizing during tightening.
PRO-FLO® MAXIMUM TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Description of PartMax. Torque
Air Valve, Pro-Flo3.1 N.m (27 in-lb)
Air Inlet, Reducer Bushing10.9 N.m (8 ft-lb)
Outer Piston, Rubber and PTFE-fitted40.7 N.m (30 ft-lb)
Vertical Bolts31.1 N.m (23 ft-lb)
• Level the water chamber side of the intake/discharge
manifold to ensure a proper sealing surface. This is most
easily accomplished by placing them on a flat surface
prior to tightening their clamp bands to the desired torque
(see below for Torque Specifications).
• Be sure to tighten outer pistons simultaneously on PTFEfitted pumps to ensure proper torque values.
• Ensure proper mating of liquid chambers to manifolds
prior to tightening vertical bolts. Overhang should be
equal on both sides.
• Apply a small amount of Loctite 242 to the shaft interval
threads before the diaphragm assembly.
• Concave side of disc spring in diaphragm assembly faces
toward shaft.
