Installation
Fluid pressure regulators are used for accurate positive
control of the fluid pressure to spray guns, dispensing
valves or atomizing heads.
Regulators installed at circulating line take-offs or
pumps are used to reduce main line pressure and
maintain the desired fluid pressure to the spray gun,
dispensing valve, or atomizing head.
Before Installing the Fluid
Regulator
1.
Determine placement of the fluid regulators in sys-
tem.
2.
Install a ball valve for inlet and outlet of the regula-
tor.
3.
Install temporary plumbing between the ball valves.
4.
Thoroughly flush the system to remove metal chips
and other contaminants and to check for leaks.
Installing the Fluid Regulator
1.
Remove the temporary plumbing and install one
regulator for each spray gun. A mounting stud,
washers, and locknut are provided for mounting the
regulator either from the bottom or side.
2.
Put sealer on threaded connections, except on
swivel unions as it interferes with the swivel action.
3.
Connect the fluid supply line to the 3/8 npt(f) inlet of
the fluid regulator.
4.
Connect the fluid line between the gun and the reg-
ulator’s 1/4 npt(f) outlet of choice.
NOTE: Make sure that the direction of the fluid flow
agrees with the IN and OUT markings on the regula-
tor body.
5.
Flush and test the entire system.
