WIL-11080-E-14 1 WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING, LLC
CAUTION: Do not apply compressed air to the exhaust port
— pump will not function.
CAUTION: Do not, under any circumstance loosen the set
screw located at the adjuster dial of the Pro-Flo X™ pump. If the
set screw is loose when the pump is pressurized, it could eject
and cause injury to anyone in the area.
CAUTION: Do not over-lubricate air supply — excess
lubrication will reduce pump performance. Pump is pre-lubed.
Temperature Limits:
Neoprene –18°C to 93°C 0°F to 200°F
Buna-N –12°C to 82°C 10°F to 180°F
EPDM –51°C to 138°C –60°F to 280°F
Viton®–40°C to 177°C –40°F to 350°F
Saniflex™ –29°C to 104°C –20°F to 220°F
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
4°C to 104°C 40°F to 220°F
Polyurethane –12°C to 66°C 10°F to 150°F
Wil-Flex™ -40°C to 107.2°C (-40°F to 225°F)
NOTE: Not all materials are available for all models. Refer to
Section 2 for material options for your pump.
NOTE: UL listed configured pumps have the following
temperature limits:
UL 79 Buna- -12.2°C (10°F) to 52°C (125°F)
UL 79 PTFE- 4.4°C (40°F) to 52°C (125°F)
CAUTION: Canadian Standards Association (CSA) configured
pumps should not be used in temperatures lower than 0.0°C to
51.6°C (32°F to 125°F).
CAUTION: When choosing pump materials, be sure to check
the temperature limits for all wetted components. Example:
Viton
®
has a maximum limit of 177°C (350°F) but polypropylene
has a maximum limit of only 79°C (175°F).
CAUTION: Maximum temperature limits are based upon
mechanical stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly
reduce maximum safe operating temperatures. Consult
Chemical Resistance Guide (E4) for chemical compatibility and
temperature limits.
WARNING: Prevention of static sparking — If static sparking
occurs, 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: Canadian Standards Association (CSA) configured
pumps must be electrically grounded using the grounding
conductor provided. Improper grounding can cause improper
and dangerous operation.
CAUTION: For U.L. listed pumps, do not exceed 3.4 bar (50
psig) air supply pressure.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply
pressure.
CAUTION: Canadian Standards Association (CSA) configured
pumps should not exceed 6.9 bar (100 psig) natural gas supply
pressure.
CAUTION: The process fluid and cleaning fluids must be
chemically compatible with all wetted pump components.
Consult Chemical Resistance Guide (E4).
CAUTION: Do not exceed 82°C (180°F) air inlet temperature for
Pro-Flo X™ models.
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 important
to tighten outer pistons simultaneously (turning in opposite
directions) to ensure tight fit. (See torque specifications in
Section 7.)
NOTE: Cast Iron PTFE-fitted pumps come standard from the
factory with expanded PTFE gaskets installed in the diaphragm
bead of the liquid chamber. Teflon
®
gaskets cannot be re-used.
Consult PS-TG for installation instructions during reassembly.
This excludes Pro-Flo
®
P200 Advanced™ metal pumps.
NOTE: Before starting disassembly, mark a line from each liquid
chamber to its corresponding air chamber. This line will assist in
proper alignment during reassembly.
CAUTION: Pro-Flo X™ pumps can be used for submersible
applications, when using the Pro-Flo X™ submersible option.
Turbo-Flo™ pumps can also be used for submersible applications
when using the Turbo-Flo™ submersible option.
CAUTION: Tighten all hardware prior to installation.
CAUTION:
The gas outlet of CSA configured pumps must be
vented to a safe location in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, an industry or nationally recognized code
having jurisdiction over the specified installation.
CAUTION:
For U.L. listed pumps, all pipe connections are to be
made using U.L. classified gasoline-resistant pipe compound.
CAUTION:
For U.L. listed pumps all installations must conform to
NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, and all other applicable codes.
CAUTION:
For U.L. listed pumps, air exhaust port is to be
connected to pipe or tubing to be routed outdoors or other location
determined to be equivalent.
CAUTION:
For U.L. listed pumps, pump is to be grounded
using the jam-nut located at the top of the long vertical carriage
bolt. The ground connection is marked with a tag having the
grounding symbol.
