INSTALLATION

1. Refer to the above WARNING before installing regulator.
2. Make sure that system piping and regulator are the same pipe size.

Avoid using fittings, couplings, etc. that restrict airflow.

3. Install unit as near as possible to regulated air application.
4. Position unit so air flows in direction indicated by arrow on the top or

bottom of regulator body.

5. Regulator may be installed with adjusting knob located in the up or

down position only.

6. Panel mount regulators require a 1-1/4" (31,7 mm) diameter hole and

are mountable on panels up to 1/8" (3,2 mm) thick. To panel mount
regulator or install using L-Type (wall mount) bracket, snap off adjusting
knob by rotating the panel nut counterclockwise allowing the
mechanical advantage of the screw thread to lift the knob off. Fit bonnet
threads into panel or bracket hole. Replace panel nut and tighten.
Replace adjusting knob by snapping back onto regulator bonnet.

OPERATION

1. NOTE: Maximum pressure rating is 300 psig (20,7 bar). Maximum

temperature is 175°F (79,4°C).

2. To adjust regulator pull up on adjusting knob.
3. Before turning on supply air pressure, turn the adjusting knob counter-

clockwise until there is no load on the regulating main spring.

4. To set the downstream pressure turn on the supply air pressure and then

turn the adjusting knob clockwise until the desired secondary pressure is
reached. Push the adjusting knob down to lock knob in place.

5. When making a change in pressure setting, always approach the

desired pressure from a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher
to a lower setting first reduce to some pressure point less than that
desired and then increase to the desired pressure.

MAINTENANCE

1. Given normal operating conditions this unit will be trouble-free. For

long service life, occasionally disassemble and clean body, diaphragm,
valve and valve seat. Service unit at least every six months.

2. TO REPLACE OR SERVICE VALVE ASSEMBLY:

a. Depressurize unit.
b. Turn adjusting knob counterclockwise to relieve compression on spring.
c. Insert flat head screw driver into bottom plug slot and slowly rotate

counterclockwise.

d. Remove bottom plug and bottom valve spring. Valve assembly can now

be removed for cleaning or replacement. When replacing valve
assembly lightly lubricate valve O-ring with teflon based grease.

e. Reinsert valve assembly and bottom spring. Align bottom plug so that

tabs match body slots and arrow points in the direction of air flow.

f. Before returning to service, insure that all seals have been reinstalled or

replaced.

g. Insert flat head screwdriver into bottom plug slot, lightly press downward

and slowly rotate clockwise to securely lock bottom plug in place.

3. TO REPLACE OR SERVICE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY:

a. Depressurize unit.
b. Turn adjusting knob counterclockwise to relieve compression on spring.
c. Remove bonnet from body by turning counterclockwise.
d. Remove main spring.

e. Remove diaphragm assembly to clean or replace.
f. Reinstall diaphragm assembly with spring rest in the up position.
g. Place main spring on spring rest.
h. Align bonnet assembly into body. Turn bonnet clockwise and tighten to

5 lb/ft (6-8 N-m).

i. Slowly pressurize unit to assume proper seating of all components.

4. IF UNIT WILL NOT REGULATE TO DESIRED PRESSURE OR IF

DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE BECOMES EXCESSIVE, disassemble,
clean and check valve O-ring, valve stem and valve seat for wear or
damage. Replace worn or damaged parts with original manufacturer’s
service parts.
