Gemue Code 29 EPDM diaphragm
Gemue Code 29 is the EPDM diaphragm from Gemue. It is the wearing part of a diaphragm valve: it separates actuator and medium, seals against the valve body and is deformed with every switching cycle. We are an authorised Gemue dealer and stock 49 versions of this series.
Where this diaphragm is used
The diaphragm is fitted in Gemue diaphragm valves and is the part that gets replaced first during operation – the valve body and the pipework stay untouched. Replacing it is routine maintenance: remove the top works, change the diaphragm, refit the top works. Complete valves are in the diaphragm valves category, further wearing and spare parts in valve spare parts.
Material and range of use
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber) is the standard material for water, aqueous solutions, alkalis, hot water and steam and therefore covers most plant engineering applications. EPDM is not resistant to mineral oils, greases and fuels – NBR or FKM are the right choice there.
Diaphragm sizes and selection
This series covers diaphragm sizes 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200. The diaphragm size is the valve size and therefore the decisive selection criterion: it is part of the type code on the installed valve and has to match exactly. A diaphragm of the wrong size will not seal, even if it can be fitted.
Versions for special requirements
Beyond the standard version this series offers:
- versions with an integrated CONEXO RFID chip for electronic identification and traceability
- versions whose wetted parts are cleaned for ultra-pure media and packed in film
- versions whose medium area is cleaned for paint compatibility
Replacement and ordering
The decisive details for ordering are the diaphragm size and the material of the installed valve; both are part of the type code shown in the short description of every item and in the technical data. If you are unsure which diaphragm belongs in your valve, send us the type code or the item number of the valve and we will check it. Diaphragms are wearing parts – it pays to order a set for the next service at the same time.
