HOW IT WORKS
The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show flow pattern
through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.

HOW IT WORKS—AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Figure 1 The Pro-Flo® patented air distribution system

incorporates three moving parts: the air valve
spool, the pilot spool, and the main shaft/
diaphragm assembly. The heart of the system
is the air valve spool and air valve. As shown
in Figure 1, this valve design incorporates
an unbalanced spool. The smaller end of the
spool is pressurized continuously, while
the large end is alternately pressurized and
exhausted to move the spool. The spool directs
pressurized air to one chamber while exhausting
the other. The air causes the main shaft/
diaphragm assembly to shift to one side —
discharging liquid on one side and pulling liquid
in on the other side. When the shaft reaches the
end of its stroke, it actuates the pilot spool, which
pressurizes and exhausts the large end of the air
valve spool. The pump then changes direction
and the same process occurs in the opposite
direction, thus reciprocating the pump.

Tools Required: CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is attempted, the compressed
air line to the pump should be disconnected and all air pressure allowed to

container. Be aware of hazardous effects of contact with your process fluid.
The P.025 pump utilizes the revolutionary Pro-Flo air distribution system. A 3.2
mm (1/8") air inlet connects the air supply to the center section. Proprietary
composite seals reduce the coefficient of friction and allow the P.025 to run
lube-free. Constructed of acetal or polypropylene, the Pro-Flo air distribution
system is designed to perform in on/off, non-freezing, non-stalling, tough
duty applications.

 REASSEMBLY

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 pump, follow
the disassembly instructions in reverse order. The air
distribution system needs to be assembled first, then
the diaphragms, and finally the wetted parts. Please
find applicable torque specifications in this section.

PRO-FLO MAXIMUM TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

Description of Part Torque
Air Valve 2.3 N•m (20 in-lb)
Outer Piston, Rubber and TPE Diaphragms 4.6 N•m (40 in-lb)
Clamp Band 2.3 N•m (20 in-lb)
Manifold Bolt 5.6 N•m (50 in-lb)

• Apply a small amount of Loctite 242 to the internal threads of

the shaft prior to reassembly. PTFE Diaphragm Configuration
Lubricate the main shaft assembly with NLGI grade
2 molybdenum disulfide based grease or equivalent
and insert through main shaft bore in center section.
Assemble the other side and torque to proper value
as listed below. Please review the photos above for
proper alignment.

Rubber/TPE Diaphragm Configuration

There are two types of diaphragm configurations
available for the P.025: 1) Rubber or TPE diaphragm,
and 2) PTFE primary diaphragm with backup
O-ring. Observe the "This Side Out" marking on
the convex side of the diaphragm. Install the
disc spring, inner piston, diaphragm, backup
O-ring (PTFE -fitted models only), and the outer piston
to main shaft assembly. (NOTE: PTFE-fitted pumps
employ an integral piston diaphragm). Add a small
amount of Loctite 242 to the bore of the main shaft. Set
up time is 20 minutes. Tighten outer piston to torque
value found below.
