THE WILDEN PUMP — HOW IT WORKS
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.

PRO-FLO™ AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

OPERATION — HOW IT WORKS
Figure 1 The Pro-Flo™ patented air distribution
system incorporates three moving parts:
the air valve spool, the pilot spool, and the
main shaft/diaphragm assembly. The heart
of the system is the air valve spool and air
valve. As shown in Figure 1, this valve
design incorporates an unbalanced spool.
The smaller end of the spool is pressurized
continuously, while the large end is alter-
nately pressurized and exhausted to move
the spool. The spool directs pressurized air
to one chamber while exhausting the
other. The air causes the main shaft/
diaphragm assembly to shift to one side —
discharging liquid on one side and pulling
liquid in on the other side. When the shaft
reaches the end of its stroke, it actuates
the pilot spool, which pressurizes and
exhausts the large end of the air valve
spool. The pump then changes direction
and the same process occurs in the oppo-
site direction, thus reciprocating the pump.

SUGGESTED INSTALLATION

AIR-OPERATED PUMPS: To stop the pump from operating in an

emergency situation, simply close the “shut-off” valve (user supplied)
installed in the air supply line. A properly functioning valve will stop the
air supply to the pump, therefore stopping output. This “shut-off”
valve should be located far enough away from the pumping equipment
such that it can be reached safely in an emergency situation.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the shutoff valve should be closed, if the restarting of the pump is not desirable once power is regained.

NOTE: Wilden 1/4” metal pumps come standard side ported with 2 NPT or BSP pipe plugs for side inlet and discharge porting. Center,
top and bottom inlet and discharge porting are optional. Simply drill flat areas provided with a 7/16” drill bit for NPT or 11mm drill bit for
BSP and tap with an NTP or BSP tap as needed.

NOTE: Wilden offers drum pump kits for the Metal P.025/A.025 pump (bung base and pick-up tube) for convenient drum pumping (P/N 50-9290-
20/23/55).

NOTE: This pump can be mounted from the underside of a flat surface providing you more flexibility in tight areas/systems.

CAUTION: Pump performance will be seriously hampered if pump is installed upside down.

DIRECTIONS FOR DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is attempted, the
compressed air line to the pump should be disconnected and all
air pressure allowed to bleed from pump. Disconnect all intake,
discharge, and air lines. Drain the pump by turning it upside
down and allowing any fluid to flow into a suitable container.
Wetted flushing of parts may be required prior to handling.
The Wilden model P.025 (Figure 1) is an air-operated, double-
diaphragm pump with all wetted parts of aluminum, stainless
steel or Hastelloy®. The single-piece center section, consisting
of center block and air chambers, is molded from acetal or
polypropylene. The air valve is manufactured of acetal or
polypropylene. All O-rings used in the pump are of special mate-
rials and should only be replaced with factory-supplied parts.

PRO-FLO™ AIR VALVE/CENTER SECTION
DISASSEMBLY, CLEANING, INSPECTION

AIR VALVE DISASSEMBLY:

CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is attempted,
the compressed air line to the pump should be discon-
nected and all air pressure allowed to bleed from the
pump. Disconnect all intake, discharge, and air lines.
Drain the pump by turning it upside down and allowing
any fluid to flow into a suitable container. Be aware of
hazardous effects of contact with your process fluid.
The Wilden Metal P.025 utilizes a revolutionary Pro-Flo™ air
distribution system. A 3.18 mm (1⁄8") air inlet connects the air
supply to the center section. Proprietary composite seals
reduce the coefficient of friction and allow the P.025 to run
lube-free. Constructed of acetal or polypropylene, the Pro-
Flo™ air distribution system is designed to perform in on/off,
non-freezing, non-stalling, tough duty applications.

TOOLS REQUIRED:
