PUMP WET END ASSEMBLY

To assemble the wet end of the pump, reverse the order of disassembly. 

Ensure all hardware is fastened in accordance with torque specifications 

(see page 15). Inverting one of the diaphragms during reassembly will 

facilitate ease of assembly. 
When positioning clamps use soapy water or a compatible lubricating 

spray on the inside of band clamps to aid assembly. Tap with a mallet 

on the outside of clamp to help position the clamp while tightening the 

fasteners. The band clamp fasteners and cap screws are stainless steel. 

To prevent galling always apply an anti-seize compound to the thread.
 
Note:  When using pumps built with PTFE O-Rings, always replace with 

new PTFE O-Rings, since the original O-Rings may not reseal the pump.

STEP 7 

In order to remove both “Outer 

Chambers”, using the ½

 

inch 

wrench, remove the “Chamber 

Clamps” from each side of the 

“Intermediate”.

STEP 10 

Placing the ¾ inch wrench on the remaining “Outer Diaphragm Plate” and the straight blade screwdriver on 

the “Diaphragm Rod”, remove the remaining “Outer Diaphragm Plate”, “Diaphragm” and “Inner Diaphragm 

Plate” (washer) from the other side of the pump. 
Note PTFE diaphragms also contain an O-Ring on the “Intermediate” side.

STEP 8 

Remove both “Outer Chambers” 

from the “Intermediate”.

STEP 9 

Using two ¾ Inch wrenches, 

remove “Outer Diaphragm 

Plate”, “Diaphragm” and “Inner 

Diaphragm Plate” (washer) from 

one side of the pump.
