The regulator should have two gauges; one for tank pressure and one for line pressure. The equipment allows leak
testing, purging, or dehydration to be done safely.
Procedures
Use dry nitrogen (N) for dehydration, pressure testing, purging, and soldering. Always use the proper equipment and
procedures.
1. Attach a gauge manifold set to the system.
2. Close both hand valves on the gauge manifold.
3. Connect the center hose from the gauge manifold to pressure regulator outlet on the nitrogen supply bottle. Adjust
the pressure regulator to the correct pressure for the required procedure. Refer to (
).
4. Purge the system from the high side to the low side.
