Warranty Each and every product manufactured by Wilden is built to meet the highest standards of quality. Every pump is functionally tested to insure integrity of operation. Wilden warrants that pumps, accessories and parts manufactured or supplied by it to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from date of installation or six (6) years from date of manufacture, whichever comes first.
If diaphragm rupture occurs, material being fitting for draining the pump during maintenance. pumped may be forced out air exhaust. CAUTION: The P1500 pump is not submersible. WARNING: Prevention of static sparking — If static sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result. Pump,...
Section 3 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.
For optimum life and performance, pumps should be specified so that daily operation parameters will fall in the center of the pump’s performance curve. Caution: Do not exceed 6.9 bar (100 psig) air supply pressure on P1500 polypropylene pumps. Caution: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply pressure on PVDF pumps.
S U C T I O N L I F T C U R V E S P1500 PLASTIC SUCTION - LIFT CAPABILITY 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.
Suggested Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting • Muffler: Sound levels are reduced below OSHA specifications The P1500 plastic pump has a 76 mm (3") inlet and 76 mm (3") outlet and is using the standard Wilden muffler. Other mufflers can be used to designed for flows to 784 lpm (207 gpm).
