Step 1:
With manifolds and outer chambers
removed, remove diaphragm assemblies from
diaphragm rod.
DO NOT
use a pipe wrench or similar
tool to remove assembly from rod. Flaws in the rod
surface may damage bearings and seal. Soft jaws
in a vise are recommended to prevent diaphragm
rod damage.
Step 1.A:
NOTE:
Not all inner diaphragm plates
are threaded. Some models utilize a through hole
in the inner diaphragm plate. If required to separate
diaphragm assembly, place assembly in a vise,
gripping on the exterior cast diameter of the inner
plate. Turn the outer plate clockwise to separate the
assembly.
Always inspect diaphragms for wear cracks or
chemical attack. Inspect inner and outer plates for
deformities, rust scale and wear. Inspect intermediate
bearings for elongation and wear. Inspect diaphragm
rod for wear or marks.
Clean or repair if appropriate. Replace as required.
Step 2:
Reassembly: There are two different types
of diaphragm plate assemblies utilized throughout the
Sandpiper product line: Outer plate with a threaded
stud, diaphragm, and a threaded inner plate.
Outer plate with a threaded stud, diaphragm, and
an inner plate with through hole. Secure threaded
inner plate in a vise. Ensure that the plates are being
installed with the outer radius against the diaphragm.
Step 3:
Lightly lubricate, with a compatible material,
the inner faces of both outer and inner diaphragm plates
when using on non Overlay diaphragms (For EPDM
water is recommended). No lubrication is required.
Step 4:
Push the threaded outer diaphragm
plate through the center hole of the diaphragm.
Note:
Most diaphragms are installed with the
natural bulge out towards the fluid side. S05,
S07, and S10 non–metallic units are installed
with the natural bulge in towards the air side.
Step 5:
Thread or place, outer plate stud into
the inner plate. For threaded inner plates, use a
torque wrench to tighten the assembly together.
Torque values are called out on the exploded view.
Repeat procedure for second side assembly.
Allow a minimum of 15 minutes to elapse after
torquing, then re-torque the assembly to compensate
for stress relaxation in the clamped assembly.
Step 6:
Thread one assembly onto the diaphragm
rod with sealing washer (when used) and bumper.
Step 7:
Install diaphragm rod assembly
into pump and secure by installing the outer
chamber in place and tightening the capscrews.
Step 8:
On opposite side of pump, thread the
remaining assembly onto the diaphragm rod. Using a
torque wrench, tighten the assembly to the diaphragm
rod. Align diaphragm through bolt holes, always going
forward past the recommended torque. Torque values
are called out on the exploded view.
NEVER
reverse
to align holes, if alignment cannot be achieved
without damage to diaphragm, loosen complete
assemblies, rotate diaphragm and reassemble as
described above.
Step 9:
Complete assembly of entire unit.
