Versamatic E5-½” Bolted Metal AODD Pump
Versa-Matic E5-½” Bolted Metallic AODD Pump
The Versa-Matic E5 ½” (13 mm) Bolted Metallic air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump is a compact industrial pump designed for controlled fluid transfer, OEM equipment, chemical dosing and other small-volume process applications.
With an adjustable flow rate up to 12 gpm (45.4 lpm), the E5 combines secure bolted construction with Versa-Matic’s non-stalling, lubrication-free air-valve system. The compact footprint and multiple material options allow the pump to be configured for a wide range of compatible industrial fluids.
Wetted constructions are available in aluminum, stainless steel and Alloy C. Multiple diaphragm, valve-ball and seat materials are also available to match different chemical compatibility, temperature and operating requirements.

Typical Applications
- Chemical dosing and transfer
- OEM equipment and packaged systems
- Sampling systems
- Small-volume process-fluid transfer
- Process skids
- Industrial lubrication systems
- Compatible solvent and chemical transfer
- Applications requiring stainless steel or Alloy C wetted construction
Material Selection
Aluminum: A lightweight metallic option suitable for many general industrial fluid-transfer applications where the fluid is compatible with aluminum.
Stainless Steel: Provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is suitable for applications requiring durable metallic wetted components.
Alloy C: Provides additional corrosion resistance for selected aggressive chemical applications where compatibility has been confirmed.
ATEX Configuration
ATEX configurations are available for applicable hazardous-area installations. The pump and associated equipment must be properly grounded and installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable site requirements.
