Technical bulletin describing Pulsafeeder degassing heads and 5‑function degas valves for diaphragm pumps, including operation and installation guidance.
About this manual
The bulletin explains how degassing heads and 5‑function degas valves automatically purge gases that escape during dosing of chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide, preventing pump priming problems. These devices are intended for suction‑lift applications where the degas unit can vent to atmosphere.
Two solutions are offered: a degassing head (preferred method) that adds a shuttle valve and a 5‑function degas valve (alternate method) that replaces the standard bleed valve. Installation details, conversion kits, and applicable pump models are provided, along with technical support contact information.

Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of a degassing head or valve?
It provides a way for gases that have escaped to be purged automatically, eliminating the need to manually re‑prime the pump.
Which pumps can use the 5 Function Degas Valve?
All diaphragm pumps except those with a #8 head size, such as LPH8SA and industrial mechanical pumps like the Black Line series.
How can an existing pump be converted to a degassing head?
By ordering a KOP kit in the degas configuration with the appropriate connection code for the pump model.
