The spool valve chamber (see Figure 23) must also be vented through the spool valve cover. Install a tube fitting into
the spool valve cover (part no. 179477). Connect the necessary tubing/piping to this fitting to route the exhausted na-
tural gas to a safe environment. The maximum allowable back pressure in the spool valve chamber is 8 psig (.55 barg).
Pressures greater than 8 psig will cause vented gas to leak past the spool cover O-ring to the atmosphere and will result
in overshoot of the positioner.
