Maintenance  

 

WARNING 
Incorrect or improper repair or servicing of this product can cause serious personal injury and 
property damage. 

 

All repairs, servicing, and testing of this product must be performed by competent personnel. 

Following any maintenance of the regulator, it is recommended that the product be tested for operation 
and leakage. 

The product should be checked periodically for proper and safe operation. 

It is the user’s sole 

responsibility to determine the frequency of maintenance based on the application. 

To reduce maintenance related system downtime to a minimum, either during commissioning or normal 
operation, Swagelok recommends having maintenance kits readily available on site. The need for 
maintenance kits is particularly important during the commissioning phase of a system installation due to 
residual assembly debris remaining in the system. Such debris can cause a seat leak in the regulator, 
resulting in components needing to be replaced.
