Diamond DMS-EPC ‘External Pump Chamber’ Models Diamond DMS models may be supplied with an optional, factory supplied “External Pump Chamber (EPC)” if specified when ordered. The model number indicates whether an EPC is fitted as follows: DMS2-EPC, DMS3-EPC, DMS4-EPC, DMS5-EPC. (DMC models are not available with an EPC.) A standard invert level will be supplied with any Diamond DMS-EPC model unless otherwise specified. If a deeper invert is specified when ordered, then the EPC will be factory supplied accordingly, to suit the body or turret extension. If you have a DMS-EPC model which has been specified and factory fitted with an External Pump Chamber, with the standard invert AND a deeper invert is subsequently required, please contact your supplier as a turret can be supplied and fitted on site.
