Regulator Assembly
•Do not overtighten fittings when assembling threaded connections!
•Do not allow glue to enter the 3/4" threaded inlet!
•Apply thread sealant tape or thread sealing compound to all threaded connections (except hose
threads) before installation.
Use only thread sealant tape or compound approved for ABS plastic on the
regulator’s fittings.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the regulator and will void the warranty.
Line Connection Components Installation
1.Install Male PVC Adapter into the 3/4" threaded outlet.
2.Glue 1.44" threaded PCV pipe to the 3/4" slip by
thread PVC elbow. Allow time for the glue to set
before installing to the 3/4" female threaded inlet.
3.Install glued assembly to the 3/4" female threaded
inlet. Be sure the elbow is properly oriented for
connection to the water supply.
Note: The 3/4" Male adapter may be installed directly into
the 3/4" threaded inlet when PVC elbow is not required.
4.Install nylon 3/4" hose adapter to 3/4" slip by thread
PVC elbow.
Stand Tube Installation
1.Place one (1) o-ring against the shoulder of the stand tube
outlet. Lubricate the o-ring with water or soapy water.
DO NOT USE PETROLEUM BASED
LUBRICANTS!
2.Push the stand tube assembly over the lubricated o-ring
until it hits the top of the regulator. Make sure the o-ring
is properly positioned.
3.Locate clamp below the o-ring and tighten. Make sure the
stand tube is secure but to not overtighten the clamp.
Water Supply Connection
After the regulator assembly is attached to the nipple line connect the regulator assembly to the water supply.
See
for installation layout guidelines.
•Brood grow systems use a
5/8"
[1.59 cm]
flexible
hose assembly to connect
to the nylon 3/4" hose
adapter.
•Layer systems use a 3/4"
[1.91 cm]
flexible hose
assembly to connect to the
nylon 3/4" hose adapter.
