Procedure to install the Flow Regulator
The procedure to install Flow Regulator is as follows:
1.
Prior to installing the Flow regulator, the system should be properly flushed.
2.
Insert the Flow Regulator in valve body and rotate with the pipe wrench or appropriate tool in Clockwise
direction
to fit flow regulator in valve body. Follow the reverse sequence of steps shown in Figure above.
3.
Open isolation valves slowly. Fast opening of isolation valves under high pressure may cause damage to the seat
or diaphragm of the Flow regulator.
4.
Set the desired flow rate by adjusting the Flow Regulator with special adjustment key.
5.
