The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show the flow
pattern through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.
FIGURE 1 The air valve directs pres-
surized air to the back side of diaphragm
A. The compressed air is applied directly
to the liquid column separated by elas-
tomeric diaphragms. The diaphragm
acts as a separation membrane between
the compressed air and liquid, balanc-
ing the load and removing mechani-
cal 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 pressur-
ized diaphragm. Diaphragm B is on its
suction stroke; air behind the diaphragm
has been forced out to the atmosphere
through the exhaust port of the pump.
The movement of diaphragm B toward
the center block of the pump creates a
vacuum within chamber B. Atmospheric
pressure forces fluid into the inlet mani-
fold forcing the inlet valve ball off its
seat. Liquid is free to move past the inlet
valve ball and fill the liquid chamber (see
shaded area).
FIGURE 2 When the pressurized
diaphragm, diaphragm A, reaches the
limit of its discharge stroke, the air valve
redirects pressurized air to the back
side of diaphragm B. The pressurized
air forces diaphragm B away from the
center block while pulling diaphragm A
to the center block. Diaphragm B is now
on its discharge stroke. Diaphragm B
forces the inlet valve ball onto its seat
due to the hydraulic forces developed
in the liquid chamber and manifold of
the pump. These same hydraulic forces
lift the discharge valve ball off its seat,
while the opposite discharge valve ball is
forced onto its seat, forcing fluid to flow
through the pump discharge. The move-
ment of diaphragm A toward the center
block of the pump creates a vacuum
within liquid chamber A. Atmospheric
pressure forces fluid into the inlet mani-
fold of the pump. The inlet valve ball
is forced off its seat allowing the fluid
being pumped to fill the liquid chamber.
FIGURE 3 At completion of the stroke,
the air valve again redirects air to the
back side of diaphragm A, which starts
diaphragm B on its exhaust stroke. As
the pump reaches its original starting
point, each diaphragm has gone through
one exhaust and one discharge stroke.
This constitutes one complete pump-
ing cycle. The pump may take several
cycles to completely prime depending
on the conditions of the application.

Pump will not run or runs slowly.
1. Check air inlet screen and air filter for debris.
2. Check for sticking air valve, flush air valve in solvent.
3. Check for worn out air valve. If piston face in air valve is
shiny instead of dull, air valve is probably worn beyond
working tolerances and must be replaced.
4. Check center block Glyd rings. If worn excessively, they
will not seal and air will simply flow through pump and out
air exhaust. Use only Wilden Glyd rings as they are of
special construction.
5. Check for rotating piston in air valve.
6. Check type of lubricant being used. A higher viscosity
oil than suggested may cause the piston to stick or run
erratically. Wilden suggests the use of an oil with arctic
characteristics (ISO 15-5 wt.).
Pump runs but little or no product flows.
1. Check for pump cavitation; slow pump speed down to
match thickness of material being pumped.
2. Check for sticking ball check valves. If material being
pumped is not compatible with pump elastomers, swell-
ing may occur. Replace ball check valves and o-rings with
the proper elastomers.
3. Check to make sure all suction connections are air tight,
especially clamp bands around intake balls.
Pump air valve freezes.
Check for excessive moisture in compressed air. Either install
dryer or hot air generator for compressed air.
Air bubbles in pump discharge.
1. Check for ruptured diaphragm.
2. Check tightness of clamp bands, especially at intake
manifold.
Product comes out air exhaust.
1. Check for diaphragm rupture.
2. Check tightness of piston plates to shaft.
Pump rattles.
1. See E9 Troubleshooting Guide.
2. Create false discharge head or suction lift.

Step 2. Figure 2
Utilizing the 13 mm (1/2") box wrench, remove the two small
clamp bands that fasten the discharge manifold to the liquid
chambers.
Step 3. Figure 3
Remove the discharge manifold to expose the valve balls and
seats. Inspect the ball cage area of the manifold for excessive
wear or damage. Remove the discharge valve balls, seats and
o-rings from the discharge manifold and inspect for nicks,
gouges, chemical attack or abrasive wear. Replace worn parts
with genuine Wilden parts for reliable performance. PTFE
o-rings should be replaced when reassembled.
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. Discon-
nect 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.
The Wilden T8 has a 51 mm (2") inlet and 51 mm (2") outlet
and is designed for flows up to 617 lpm (163 gpm). The model
T8 is available in aluminum, cast iron, or 316 stainless steel
wetted parts. The center block is available in polypropylene,
aluminum, nickel-plated aluminum, PTFE-coated aluminum
and 316 stainless steel. All o-rings used in the pump are of
a special material and shore hardness that should only be
replaced with factory-supplied parts.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Adjustable Wrench
13 mm (1/2") Socket
14 mm (9/16") Box Wrench
17 mm (11/16") Socket
25 mm (1") Box Wrench or Adjustable Wrench
Vise equipped with soft jaws (such as plywood, plastic
or other suitable material)
NOTE: The model used for these instructions incorporates
rubber diaphragms, balls, and seats. Models with PTFE
diaphragms, balls and seats are the same except where
noted. The procedures for A8 Accu-Flo pumps are the
same except for the air distribution system.
DISASSEMBLY:
Step 1.
Before starting disassembly, mark a line from each liquid
chamber to its corresponding air chamber. This line will
assist in proper alignment during reassembly.

Step 8. Figure 8
Using a 25 mm (1") box wrench, adjustable wrench, or by
rotating the diaphragm by hand, remove the diaphragm
assembly.
Step 9A. Figure 9A
NOTE: Due to varying torque values, one of the following
two conditions may occur: 1) The outer piston, diaphragm
and inner piston remain attached to the shaft and the entire
assembly can be removed from the center section.
Step 10. Figure 10
To remove the diaphragm assembly from the shaft, secure
shaft with soft jaws (a vise fitted with plywood or other suit-
able material) to ensure shaft is not nicked, scratched, or
gouged. Using an adjustable wrench, remove diaphragm
assembly from shaft. Inspect all parts for wear and replace
with genuine Wilden parts if necessary.
Step 9B. Figure 9B
2) The outer piston, diaphragm, and inner piston separate
from the shaft which remains connected to the opposite side
diaphragm assembly. Repeat disassembly instructions for
opposite liquid chamber. Inspect diaphragm assembly and
shaft for signs of wear or chemical attack. Replace all worn
parts with genuine Wilden parts for reliable performance.

The air valve assembly consists of both the air valve body
and piston and the center block. The unique design of the
air valve relies only on differential pressure to effect the
diaphragm shift. It is reliable and simple to maintain. The
bushing in the center block, along with the diaphragm shaft,
provides the trigger to tell the air valve to shift. The follow-
ing procedure will ensure that the air valve on your Wilden
pump will provide long trouble-free service.
AIR VALVE BODY AND PISTON
ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY:
The air valve body and piston can be disconnected from the
pump by removing the four socket head cap screws which
attach it to the center block. The piston in the air valve is
aluminum with a dark gray anodized coating. The piston
should move freely and the ports in the piston should line up
with the ports on the face of the air valve body (see below).
The piston should also appear to be a dull, dark gray in color.
If the piston appears to be a shiny aluminum color, the air
valve is probably worn beyond working tolerance and should
be replaced.
If the piston does not move freely in the air valve, the entire
air valve should be immersed in a cleaning solution.
[NOTE: Do not force the piston by inserting a metal object.]
This soaking should remove any accumulation of sludge
and grit which is preventing the air valve piston from moving
freely. Also, remove and clean the air valve screen. If the air
valve piston does not move freely after the above cleaning,
the air valve should be disassembled as follows: remove the
snap ring from the top end of the air valve cylinder and apply
an air jet to the 3/16-inch hole on the opposite end of the
air valve face. (See Figure C.) CAUTION: The air valve end
cap may come out with considerable force. Hand protection
such as a padded glove or rag should be used to capture
the end cap.

Bushing can be pressed
into a stainless steel or
cast iron center section.
(See Figure F). When
installing a new bush-
ing, four bleeder holes
which allow the pump to
exhaust air must be drilled.
(See Figure G).
Small nicks can usually be dressed out and the piston
returned to service. Make sure that the guide pin is straight
and smooth or the piston will not move freely in the cylinder.
Clean out anti-centering pin holes located at each side of
the piston. Pin holes are located on each side of the annular
groove on the top of the piston and travel to each end. New
o-rings should be installed on the end caps. Lubricate the o-
rings and install the end caps, assuring that proper alignment
of the piston and cylinder ports is maintained. (See Figure D).
Reinstall air valve to center block of pump. Tighten per the
torque specifications in Section 8C.
GLYD RING REPLACEMENT:
When the Glyd rings become worn, they will no longer seal
and must be replaced. Due to the design characteristics of
the Glyd rings, it is suggested that you use the Ringer Seal
installation kit when replacing Glyd rings. Consult EOM-
Ringer for installation instructions.
CENTER BLOCK ASSEMBLY:
The pumps center block consists of a polypropylene or die
cast housing with a cast-in bronze bushing. The bushing has
eleven grooves cut on the inside diameter. There are seven
Glyd rings that fit in these grooves (see Figure E). Since these
Glyd rings form a part of the shifting function of the pump,
it is necessary that they be located in the proper grooves. The
bronze bushing is replaceable in cast iron or stainless steel
center blocks only. When bushing wear becomes excessive,
a new center block must be used.

ASSEMBLY:
Upon performing applicable maintenance to the air distribu-
tion system, the pump can now be reassembled. Please
refer to the disassembly instructions for photos and parts
placement. To reassemble the pump, follow the disassem-
bly 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 speci-
fications on this page. The following tips will assist in the
assembly process.
Clean the inside of the center section shaft bushing to
ensure no damage is done to new seals.
Stainless bolts should be lubed to reduce the possibility of
seizing during tightening.
Ensure proper alignment on the sealing surfaces of intake
and discharge manifolds.
Liquid chambers are easier to attach when the diaphragm
is inverted. Prior to attaching the second water chamber,
push diaphragm assembly so that it is as close as possi-
ble to the center section.
PVDF and PFA pumps require PTFE gasket kits for
improved sealing. Gasket kits may be installed on other
pumps where sealing is an issue.
When assembling PTFE-coated hardware, care should
be taken to keep the coating intact.
When installing Glyd rings, the use of the Wilden Ringer
tool simplifies seal installation.

The Wilden T4 cast iron pumps require Teflon
gasket tape on
the liquid chambers (P/N 04-9502-99). Other pump types may
use Teflon
tape. Ensure
that the adhesive strip remains attached
to the Teflon
tape.
Step 2
Starting at any point, place the Teflon
tape in the center of the diaphragm bead
groove on the liquid chamber and press
lightly on the tape to ensure that the
adhesive holds in place during assembly.
Do not stretch the tape during placement
in the center of diaphragm bead groove.
Step 3
The end of the tape should overlap
approximately 13 mm (1/2"). Proceed to
install the Teflon
