SuperFlow® 350 Regulator Disassembly

 

SuperFlow® 350 Regulator

set, and piston fall out of the adjustment tube of 

the regulator.

NOTE: If the spacer and the spring set are stuck, 

this indicates possible corrosion or saltwater in-

trusion into the adjustment tube or the adjust-

ment tube may be bent. This occurs if the helmet 

is dropped on the adjustment knob or the adjust-

ment knob otherwise impacts against a rigid ob-

ject. Repairs must be made by a trained KMDSI 

technician.

7) On the adjustment knob, drive out the retain-

ing pin using a 

3/32

" punch. Use a block of wood 

with a ¼" hole drilled through it to support the 

knob. Position the knob so the retaining pin is 

over the hole. The adjustment knob can be held 

against the wood block allowing the retaining pin 

to be driven into the ¼” hole.

8) Remove the inlet nipple from the regulator 

body. The O-ring should be replaced if a sched-

uled overhaul is being performed.

9) Place the castle wrench in the inlet nipple side 

of the demand regulator over the soft seat of the 

inlet valve to prevent the inlet valve from rotat-

ing.

The Castle Wrench and inlet valve.

Install the socket wrench from the KMDSI Tool 

Kit (Part #525-620) through the adjustment tube 

and engage the lock nut on the inlet valve. Loos-

en and remove the lock nut by rotating the socket 

wrench counterclockwise.

CAUTION

The inlet valve adjustment nut must 

never be reused. Reuse of the adjust-

ment nut will not allow the regulator to 

maintain proper adjustment.

10) Tilt the regulator and drop out the inlet valve 

and washer.

11) The spacer and lever will now fall out of the 

regulator body.
