How to Fix Your SCXE353.060 Valve: The Ultimate C113928 Diaphragm Kit Guide

Is your SCXE353.060 pulse valve malfunctioning, causing downtime in your dust collection system? The most likely culprit is a worn-out diaphragm. This comprehensive guide focuses on the C113928 diaphragm kits, the exact repair solution for this specific valve model. You will learn to identify failure symptoms, perform a correct replacement, and extend the valve’s lifespan. By the end, you’ll save on costly valve replacements and minimize operational disruption.

What is the C113928 Repair Kit?

The C113928 diaphragm kit is a genuine, all-in-one repair package designed exclusively for the SCXE353.060 series pulse valves. It contains every essential wear component needed to restore the valve’s core function.

A typical kit includes the main diaphragm, gaskets, O-rings, and sometimes a spring. Using this specific kit ensures perfect compatibility, reliable sealing, and optimal air pulse performance for efficient filter cleaning.

Symptoms Your SCXE353.060 Needs a C113928 Kit

Recognizing early warning signs can prevent complete valve failure. Look for these key indicators:

• Weak or No Pulse: The most common sign. A torn or fatigued diaphragm cannot create a strong air blast, leading to poor filter cleaning.
• Continuous Air Leak: You may hear a constant hissing sound from the valve’s exhaust port, indicating a failed diaphragm seal.
• Increased Compressor Load: The system compressor cycles more frequently to maintain pressure, wasting energy.
• Dust Emission & High Pressure Drop: Poor cleaning causes dust buildup on filters, increasing system resistance and potentially releasing dust downstream.

Step-by-Step: Replacing the Diaphragm with Your C113928 Kit

Safety First: Always isolate and depressurize the entire compressed air system before starting any work. Follow your plant’s lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures.

Step 1: Remove the Valve from the Header

Disconnect the airline and electrical solenoid connections. Unbolt the SCXE353.060 valve from its mounting on the dust collector tube sheet.

Step 2: Disassemble the Valve Body

Carefully unbolt the valve housing. Note the orientation of internal parts. Gently remove the old, worn diaphragm and all associated seals.

Step 3: Install New Components from the Kit

Thoroughly clean the valve housing surfaces. Install all new parts from your C113928 repair kit in the correct order, as per the diagram usually included. Ensure the new diaphragm is seated evenly without twists.

Step 4: Reassemble, Reinstall, and Test

Reassemble the valve halves evenly and tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern. Remount the valve, reconnect all lines, and restore power/air. Perform a manual test to verify a strong, clean pulse.

Pro Tips for Maintenance & Longer Service Life

• Use Clean, Dry Air: Ensure your compressed air supply has a proper dryer and filter. Moisture is a primary cause of diaphragm degradation.
• Keep a Spare Kit On Hand: Minimize downtime by having a C113928 kit in your maintenance inventory.
• Regular Inspection Schedule: Incorporate valve inspection into your preventive maintenance routine, checking for leaks or weak pulses.
• Torque Bolts Correctly: Avoid damaging the housing or causing leaks by using a torque wrench to specifications.

Conclusion and Next Steps

A failing diaphragm doesn’t mean you need a whole new valve. The C113928 diaphragm kit provides a cost-effective, reliable repair for your SCXE353.060 pulse valve, getting your dust collection system back to peak efficiency quickly. By following this guide, you can confidently perform the repair, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs.
