Hydra-Cell M03XABGFHEC 3.0 GPM Stainless Steel Viton Diaphragm Pump
The Hydra-Cell M03XABGFHEC is a rugged, seal-less diaphragm pump built for facilities that can't afford downtime from leaking seals or worn packing. With a 316 stainless steel pump head and Viton diaphragms and O-rings, it's built to move corrosive, abrasive, and non-lubricating fluids without breaking a sweat, all while delivering up to 3.0 GPM. Because it uses a hollow shaft designed to mount directly to a NEMA 56C motor frame, installation is simple and there's no shaft coupling or guard to fuss with.
What really sets this pump apart is what it doesn't need. There are no packing glands, cup seals, or mechanical seals to wear out and leak, so operators get a cleaner, safer installation with far less routine maintenance. The pump can even run dry or against a closed inlet without damage, which is a huge advantage in metering and dosing applications where flow can be interrupted unexpectedly. Multiple hydraulically balanced diaphragms work together to produce smooth, low-pulsation flow, which many other positive displacement pump designs simply can't match.
Whether it's handling chemical injection, filtration feed, or general industrial fluid transfer, the M03XABGFHEC is engineered to keep running reliably in demanding environments. Its stainless steel construction stands up to a wide range of chemicals, and its Viton elastomers extend compatibility even further into higher-temperature and more aggressive fluid applications.

FAQs
Q: Can the Hydra-Cell M03XABGFHEC run without liquid in the line?
A: Yes, its seal-less diaphragm design allows it to run dry or against a closed inlet without sustaining damage, which is unusual among positive displacement pumps.
Q: What fluids is this pump best suited for?
A: With a 316 stainless steel head and Viton seals, it handles a wide range of corrosive, abrasive, and non-lubricating fluids, making it a strong fit for chemical metering and industrial dosing applications.
Q: Does this pump require a separate motor coupling?
A: No, the hollow pump shaft is designed to mount directly onto a NEMA 56C frame motor, so no external coupling or guard is needed.
Q: How often do the check valves need to be serviced?
A: Check valve assemblies are typically the only wear items and often last several thousand hours of continuous operation before replacement is needed.
Q: Is this pump suitable for pulsation-sensitive applications?
A: Yes, the multi-diaphragm hydraulic balancing produces smooth, near-linear flow with minimal pulsation compared to single-piston or plunger pumps.
