Cylinders must be secured in a safe fashion. For additional
information, refer to CGA Standard P-1, “Precautions for
Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders”.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION
Unscrew the cylinder cap.
Do not clamp regulator cap in a vise or grip it with a
pair of pliers. Distortion of cap can jam the internal
parts and cause excessively high delivery pressure
as well as weaken the threaded joint to the regulator
body. This may cause the cap to fly off and possibly
injure personnel in area.
D. Open the cylinder valve slightly, for an instant, to blow
out any dust or dirt that may have collected in the valve
outlet. BE SURE to keep your face away from the
valve outlet to protect your eyes.
E. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve. Align the
regulator so that the flowmeter is vertical and then
tighten the connection nut with a 1-1/8 in. open end
or adjustable wrench. To prevent damaging the O-
ring seals and plastic tube, do not use the flowmeter
tube as a 'handle' when attaching the regulator.

F. Close the flow control valve on the flowmeter.
G. Attach the gas hose from the rear of the Multimaster
160 to the regulator outlet connection.
Never stand directly in front of or behind the regula-
tor when opening the cylinder valve. Always stand
to one side.
H. Open the cylinder valve SLOWLY a fraction of a turn.
This will prevent damage to the gauge and critical
components in the regulator. When the gauge needle
stops moving, then open the cylinder valve fully.
I. Using a leak test solution, such as P/N 998771 (8 oz.
ctr) or soapy water, test for leakage around the cylin-
der valve stem, the regulator inlet connection, and
the hose connections at the regulator. Correct any
leaks before starting work.
3.5.2 TO REGULATE FLOW
Flow is controlled by adjusting the flowmeter valve until
desired flow is indicated by the ball float in the flowmeter
tube. Always take the reading across the TOP of the ball.
