Reassembly
The regulator is reassembled in the reverse order of disassembly, observing the following
precautions. Please reference the Bill of Material and Assembly Drawing for the correct
location of replacement parts and correct torque specifications.
1. Inspect all parts and replace those worn or damaged with TESCOM replacement
parts.
2. All parts should be cleaned to the cleanliness level required for safe operation with
the media and system they will be used in. All parts in the flow stream must be free of
particles which could prevent proper seating of the main valve.
3.
Apply a thin uniform coating of fluorocarbon grease to any or all of the following
parts: Indentation of spring button, threaded portion of adjusting screw, entire
threaded area of the bonnet, all O-rings, all threaded parts internal to regulator.
WARNING
Do not apply any type of grease to threaded internal parts of regulators that come
standard with metal to metal diaphragm seals. Regulators with metal to metal diaphragm
seals have Metal listed as the diaphragm material on their installation drawing.
NOTE:
Do
NOT
apply any type of grease to the inlet or outlet connections.
4. Valve seat must be installed with the chamfered side towards the valve.
5. Standard Regulator with Control Knob - The body and bonnet are best joined by
holding the bonnet assembly open end up and lowering all required items into place
one at a time. The last item to be placed in the bonnet will be the diaphragm. It can be
centered on the seating surface of the bonnet before the body assembly is inverted
and screwed into the bonnet firmly – hand tight. The 44-2300 is an exception. In this
case stack the diaphragm, diaphragm back up plate, load spring and spring button
on top of the body. Lower the bonnet and screw the bonnet onto the body firmly-
hand tight. Regulator should then be placed in vise and bonnet re-torqued to correct
specifications. See Assembly Drawing.
6. Dome/Combination Spring and Dome Loaded Regulators are more easily
reassembled by holding regulator firmly in vise and reinstalling dome.
WARNING
After regulator has been reassembled, it MUST be connected to a pressure source with
media compatible with the use of the regulator and pressurized to check for internal and
external leakage and operating characteristics.
Back Pressure Regulators - Piston-Sensed
General
TESCOM piston sensed back pressure regulators are specifically engineered for
applications requiring dependable pressure regulation. These regulators are especially
appropriate for installations where the system or process requires the pressure to be
limited to a maximum pressure. The control pressure range can be up to a maximum of
20,000 psi.
