Pulsation Dampener Information
STRUT VALVE OPENED & CLOSED WITH 3/4" WRENCH.
Pulsation Dampener Strut Valve WrenchThere is not one of these core pins in a strut valve. No special tools, or pin depressor is needed.
304 stainless steel strut valve. As used on all aircraft for 40 years. 0.75” AF hex swivel nut, use standard wrench. Change to strut valve for 49.99 can save 550 and a life. The STRUT valve enables you to SAFELY STOP nitrogen pressure entering a pulsation dampener.
Pin Cores are just check valves and provide no control.Pin Cores are just check valves and provide no control. Not only are the pin type valves dangerous, but also you have to spend 500 on a regulator and 250 on a pre-fill tool to use them.

Do not replace strut valve (nitrogen prefill valve) made of 304 stainless steel for up to 6000 psi or the 9919a nitrogen prefill valve made of duplex stainless steel for up to 20,000 psi.
As PulseGuard wants to learn from reviewing its products, we rebuild with the spares (replacement membranes, diaphragms, bladders) kit for the same price as a spares kit.

Part Number and identification: Dampener Type/ Volume /Design Pressure/Membrane Diameter – Material / Connection / Metal FLo”O” /in3 or Liters/ psi or Bars / DF or DW (in mm) - TFE of MTFE / / 316, A20, etc. Before you begin please see below* Combination Flow Fluctuation Reducer and Pressure Pulsation Interceptor “Dampeners that do flow goes through” This service and re-assembly instruction covers the following: Part numbers – FLo-LP 0.5in3 (8.0ml) through 10in3 (160ml), FLo (items having secondary containment sealing), Z/FLo (items having double layer diaphragms), 2000 psi (140Br) through 6000 psi (400Br), 10in3 (160ml) through 800in3 (13Lt) Note: The DW series of long life lower cost diaphragm replacements are available with DW numbers 60 through 305 for replacement of DF numbers 60 through 305. Please see torque settings below. Note the breakout torque when disassembling. A low figure may indicate retained bolt elongation. This can be dangerous, indicating that bolts need to be replaced. Please call the factory. 3 places extra nuts & washers for mounting Do not replace strut valve (nitrogen prefill valve) made of 304 stainless steel for up to 6000 psi or the 9919a nitrogen prefill valve made of duplex stainless steel for up to 20,000 psi. Please see strut valve details below. Standard gas cushion drive bonnets are made from SA516 Gr 70 pressure vessel quality plate. Grade 70 because there is no welding on this component. Any other material is available at extra cost. DF series – smooth faced virgin PTFE with encapsulated anti-extrusion stiffener for C.I.P. systems. Z/DF series – additional layer of PTFE for hazardous permeant, toxic and pyroforic applications (optional extra) Alternate diaphragm: Introduced in 1997, billion cycle proven, may be driven against the gas cushion or liquid ends repeatedly, greater permeation resistance than virgin PTFE, longer life at lower cost. Double layer and secondary containment sealing plus telltale permeation detection for Chloros –ines, -ics, and Bromines, -ides, Nitric. DW “O” gas seal 0.26” nominal section 90 degree shore A, DW---MTFE, Z/DW---MTFE (optional extra) has glass filament strand (G.F.S.), A.E.P. – anti-extrusion plate, Secondary containment “O” seal TFE As PulseGuard wants to learn from reviewing its products, we rebuild with the spares kit for the same price as a spares kit. Spares Kit parts are SK/DW---MTFE, SK/”Z”DW---MTFE, or SK/DF---TFE, etc. Liquid Chamber at least 6x diameter of inlet and 8x diameter of system connection. This provides discharge and convergence coefficients which, with the liquid mass from only pre-filling to 50% of working pressure, dissipates pressure transients. Permeation Detection enables maintenance scheduling for diaphragm or seal replacement and corrosion inspection. DW”O” Ring, diaphragm wavy modified Teflon, Z diaphragm layer, secondary containment “O” ring . PTFE, glass filament strand makes detection path, 1/4” NPT for permeation detection. *Do not disturb your pipe system integrity, release the dampener from piping base. Replace dampener with the by-passing block. Then disassemble pulsation dampener. LP by-passes are fabricated from 2:1 SE head + flat face flange Torque Sequence - Recommended tightening torque values, by bolt diameter and bolt grade. Using anti-seize, these figures produce a preload approx. 70% of minimum yield. 304 stainless steel strut valve As used on all aircraft for 40 years. 0.75” AF hex swivel nut, use standard wrench. Change to strut valve for 49.99 can save 550 and a life.
