WARNING!
All diaphragm pumps can experience diaphragm failure.
If they do, the pumped fluid can enter the air chambers
and be exhausted through the air valves. It is also
possible for the compressed air to mix with the pumped
fluid and be expelled through the pump discharge line.
Depending upon the nature of the pumped fluid,
CATCHING AND CONTROLLING EXHAUSTED
FLUIDS AND VAPORS MAY BE REQUIRED TO AVOID
EXPLOSIONS. SINCE FLUIDS CAN BE TOXIC AND
HAZARDOUS TO PERSONNEL,
Valco Cincinnati recommends that you seek advice
from:
Your company’s safety policy and procedures
Fluid suppliers (MSDS information)
Personnel skilled in handling and processing
hazardous fluids
Local, state, and federal agencies.
