LP-Gas is extremely
flammable and explosive. Failure to install parts exactly as described in the
instructions could result in a product that will not perform satisfactorily. Even if parts are correctly
installed, the product might fail to perform satisfactorily, if other parts are worn, corroded or dirty.

damage. Any such use or installation of parts must ONLY be done by experienced and trained
personnel using accepted governmental and industrial safety procedures.
Most RegO

repairing, proper repair using RegO
®
parts and procedures, and proper testing for leakage and
performance following repairs and installation.

Bench Test
1.
Pressurize valve to 300-500 psi (through the inlet connection) and
check valve for leakage, when looking into the outlet port, by ap-
plying a high quality leak detection solution around seat area and
seat cavity. Observe for one minute to detect leaks.
2.
Release 300-500 psi, apply 15-20 psi and look for any leakage as
above.
3.
Install outlet plug, again apply 300-500 psi and slowly open valve by
turning handwheel 1/4 turn incrementally. Check valve for leakage
by applying a high quality leak detection solution around stem, seal
housing and bonnet joint. Continue to rotate handwheel 1/4 turn
incrementally until valve is fully open (not back seated). Observe
for one minute to detect leaks.
