Yamada 771705 Diaphragm, Hytrel for NDP-80
The Yamada 771705 is the genuine Hytrel (TPEE) diaphragm for NDP-80 Series pumps including NDP-80BAH and NDP-80BSH. It is the part that actually moves the fluid: compressed air pushes one diaphragm out while the center rod pulls the other in, so one chamber discharges while the other fills, and the pump alternates between them for as long as air is supplied.
A diaphragm gives warning before it goes if you know what to look for. Output drops, the pump runs faster for less flow, and product starts showing up at the muffler, which is the classic symptom of a split diaphragm venting pumped fluid into the air side. Replace both diaphragms together even when only one has failed. The surviving one has done the same hours, and a mismatched pair loads the center rod unevenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How tight should the diaphragm plates be?
Tight enough to seal, following the factory torque figures and tightening opposite bolts in sequence rather than working around the circle. Overtightening pinches the bead and starts a crack at exactly the point that flexes most.
Q: What shortens diaphragm life most?
Running against a closed discharge, air pressure above the pump rating, and cavitation from a starved suction line. All three make the diaphragm work harder than it was designed to on every stroke.
Q: Do I need to change the center disks at the same time?
Inspect them. The disks clamp the diaphragm and any burr, dishing or corrosion on them is transferred straight into the new diaphragm as a stress point, so a marked disk is worth replacing while the pump is open.
Q: Why replace both diaphragms when only one failed?
The second one has seen exactly the same number of cycles and the same fluid, so it is close behind. Beyond that, two diaphragms of different age and stiffness load the center rod unevenly and shorten the life of the new one.
