Installation
Installation
Installation o this equipment involves potentially
hazardous procedures. Only trained and qualified
personnel who have read and who understand
the in ormation in this manual should install this
equipment.
• All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
electrician and comply with all local codes and
regulations
General Information
The Typical Installation shown is only a guide
or selecting and installing system components.
Contact your Verder representative or assistance in
planning a system to suit your needs. Always use
Genuine Verder Parts and accessories. Be sure all
accessories are adequately sized and pressure rated
to meet the system’s requirements.
Re erence letters in the text, or example (A), re er to
the callouts in the figures.
Tighten Fasteners
Be ore mounting and using the pump or the first time,
check and retorque all external asteners. Follow
Torque Instructions, page 22, or see the torque
tag on your pump. A ter the first day o operation,
retorque the asteners.
Tips to Reduce Cavitation
Cavitation in a double diaphragm pump is the
ormation and collapse o bubbles in the pumped
liquid. Frequent or excessive cavitation can cause
serious damage, including pitting and early wear o
fluid chambers, balls, and seats. It may result in
reduced e ficiency o the pump. Cavitation damage
and reduced e ficiency both result in increased
operating costs.
Cavitation depends on the vapor pressure o the
pumped liquid, the system suction pressure, and the
velocity pressure. It can be reduced by changing any
o these actors.
1. Reduce vapor pressure: Decrease the
temperature o the pumped liquid.
2. Increase suction pressure:
a. Lower the installed position o the pump
relative to the liquid level in the supply.
b. Reduce the riction length o the suction
piping. Remember that fittings add riction
length to the piping. Reduce the number o
fittings to reduce the riction length.
c. Increase the size o the suction piping.
OTE: Be sure the inlet fluid pressure does not
exceed 25 % o the outlet working pressure.
3. Reduce liquid velocity: Slow the cyclic rate o
the pump.
Pumped liquid viscosity is also very important but
normally is controlled by actors that are process
dependent and cannot be changed to reduce
cavitation. Viscous liquids are more di ficult to pump
and more prone to cavitation.
Verder recommends taking all the above actors
into account in system design. To maintain pump
e ficiency, supply only enough power to the pump to
achieve the required flow.
Verder distributors can supply site specific
suggestions to improve pump per ormance and
reduce operating costs.

Installation
Ground The System
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk o static sparking. Static sparking can cause
umes to ignite or explode. Improper grounding
can cause electric shock.Grounding provides an
escape wire or the electrical current.
• Always groundtheentirefluidsystemas
described below.
•Pumpswith
Polypropylene and PVDF fluid
sections are not conductive. ever use a
nonconductive polypropylene or PVDF pump
with flammable fluids.
•Followyo
ur local fire codes.
Be ore operating the pump, ground the system as
explained below.
• Pump: All pumps have a ground screw. Loosen
the grounding screw. Insert one end o a 4 mm
2
(12 AWG) minimum ground wire behind the ground
screw and tighten the screw securely. Connect the
clamp end o the grounding wire to a true earth
ground. A ground wire and clamp, Part 819.0157,
is available rom Verder.
• Motor: Motors have a ground screw in the electrical
box. Use it to ground the motor to the controller.
• Air Line and Fluid hoses: Use only grounded
hoses with a maximum o 150 m (500 t) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check
electrical resistance o hoses. I total resistance
to ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose
immediately.
• Fluid supply container: Follow local code.
• Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow local
code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed
on a grounded sur ace. Do not place the pail
on a nonconductive sur ace, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
• VFD: Ground the variable requency drive (VFD)
through a proper connection to a power source.
Re er to the VFD manual or grounding instructions.
Check your system electrical continuity a ter the
initial installation, and then set up a regular schedule
or checking continuity to be sure proper grounding
is maintained. The resistance should not exceed 1
ohm.

Installation
Air Line
Models that Include a Compressor:
An air line is already connected rom the compressor
to the pump air inlet.
Using Your Own Compressor:
Install a grounded, flexible air hose rom the
compressor to the pump air inlet (E).
Using Shop Air:
1. Install an air filter/regulator assembly (H). The
fluid stall pressure will be the same as the setting
o the air regulator. The filter removes harm ul
dirt and moisture rom the compressed air supply.
2. Locateableed-typemasterairvalve(G)closeto
the pump and use it to relieve trapped air. Be
sure the valve is easily accessible rom the pump
and located downstream rom the regulator.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle
unexpectedly, which could result in serious
injury rom splashing.
3. Locate another master air valve (J) upstream
rom all air line accessories and use it to isolate
them during cleaning and repair.
4. Install a grounded, flexible air hose (F) between
the accessories and the pump air inlet.
Fluid Supply Line
1. Connect a grounded, flexible fluid hose (K) to
the fluid inlet port. The port on pumps with
aluminum, stainless steel, or cast iron fluid
sections is 2 in npt( ) or 2 in. bspt. On pumps
with polypropylene, conductive polypropylene,
or PVDF fluid sections, the port is a 2 in. raised
ace ANSI/DIN flange.
2. I the inlet fluid pressure to the pump is more
than 25% o the outlet working pressure, the ball
check valves will not close ast enough, resulting
in ine ficient pump operation. Excessive inlet
fluid pressure also will shorten diaphragm li e.
Approximately 0.21–0.34 bar (0.02–0.03 MPa,
3–5 psi) should be adequate or most materials.
3. For maximum suction li t (wet and dry), see
Technical Data, page 38. For best results, always
install the pump as close as possible to the
material source. Minimize suction requirements
to maximize pump per ormance.
Fluid utlet Line
1. Connect a grounded, flexible fluid hose (N) to
the fluid inlet port. The port on pumps with
aluminum, stainless steel, or cast iron fluid
sections is 2 in npt( ) or 2 in. bspt. On pumps
with polypropylene, conductive polypropylene,
or PVDF fluid sections, the port is a 2 in. raised
ace ANSI/DIN flange.
2. Install a fluid drain valve (L) near the fluid outlet.
3. Install a shuto valve (M) in the fluid outlet line.

Tighten Fasteners
Be ore mounting and using the pump or the first time,
check and retorque all external asteners. Follow
Torque Instructions, page 22, or see the torque
tag on your pump. A ter the first day o operation,
retorque the asteners.
Flush the Pump Before First Use
The pump was tested in water. I water could
contaminate the fluid you are pumping, flush the
pump thoroughly with a compatible solvent. See
Flushing and Storage, page 21.
Transfer Mode Vs. Low Pulsation
Mode
When the air pressure is at least 0.7 bar (10 psi)
higher than the desired outlet pressure, the pump
is in Trans er Mode and no pulsation damping
is occurring. To reduce outlet pulsation, start by
setting the air pressure equal to the desired outlet
fluid pressure. Continue to adjust the air pressure
relative to the outlet fluid pressure. Lower relative air
pressures produce more pulsation damping. Higher
relative air pressures produce better pump e ficiency.
Start and Adjust the Pump
1. Be sure the pump is properly grounded. See
Ground The System, page 13.
2. Check fittings to be sure they are tight. Use a
compatible liquid thread sealant on male threads.
