Using a dry Q-tip, clean the seal
that sits at the top of the body of
the bottom section of the Inline
regulator
(See Figure 6.13)
. Using
a light oil and a fresh Q-tip,
re-lubricate the seal ready for re-
assembly.
Thoroughly clean the two o-rings
on the adjuster screw and lubricate
ready for re-assembly
(See Figure
6.14)
. Inspect top face of adjuster
unit for any excessive wear or
damage as this could cause inline
regulator to creep
(See Figure 6.15)
.
Note: the sealing face on the inline
regulator piston can also cause the
regulator to creep or “supercharge”,
so this should also be checked.
With the threaded section towards
to the base of the regulator body,
re-insert the adjuster screw into
the bottom half of the regulator
body
(See Figure 6.16)
. Apply light
pressure to the top of the adjuster
screw and using a 1/8th" hex key
wind the adjuster screw counter
clockwise until it stops at the base
of the regulator body. Turn the
adjuster screw two full turns in a
clockwise direction to set the inline
regulator pressure at approximately
300 - 350 psi.
Next take the piston and spring
stack and clean the seal at the top
of the piston, re-lubricating it with
a light smear of Vaseline ready for
re-assembly
(See Figure 6.17)
. Insert
the piston and spring stack into the
top half of the inline regulator body
(See Figure 6.18)
.
Keeping the top half of the inline
regulator upside down, screw the
two halves of the inline regulator
together
(See Figure 6.19)
. You have now
stripped, cleaned, lubricated and
assembled your inline regulator.
