Warranty Each and every product manufactured by Wilden is built to meet the highest standards of quality. Every pump is functionally tested to ensure 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.
NOTE: When installing PTFE diaphragms, it is important to tighten outer pistons simultaneously (turning in NOTE: Not all materials are available for all models. See “Wilden opposite directions) to ensure tight fit. (See “Maximum Pump Designation System” for material options for your pump.

HOW IT WORKS – AIR-OPERATED DOUBLE-DIAPHRAGM PUMP 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.

PS420/430 Bolted Metal SUCTION LIFT CAPABILITY PS420/PS430 METAL 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. There are many variables that can affect your pump's operating characteristics.
The suction pipe size should be at least equal to or larger than the elbows, bends and fittings should be avoided. Pipe sizes should diameter size of the suction inlet on your Wilden pump. The suction be selected to keep friction losses within practical limits. All piping hose must be a non-collapsible, reinforced type because these should be supported independently of the pump.
