SuperFlow® 350 Regulator 

Reassembly of the SuperFlow® 350 Demand Regulator

lowing procedure is intended as a routine main-

tenance of the inlet valve mechanism. If an an-

nual overhaul is being done, replacement of all 

O-rings is required. 

1.6.2 Cleaning Instructions

1) If the inlet valve soft seat appears to be in 

good condition, clean and re-lubricate. Replace 

the seat if needed as per "1.5 Inspection of Su-

perFlow

®

 350 Demand Regulator Parts" on page 

SF350-11

2) Carefully clean all regulator components us-

ing a solution of dish soap and water, remove cor-

rosion by soaking for 15-30 minutes in a 

50/50

 solu-

tion of vinegar and water. A tube brush should 

be used to clean the inside of the regulator body.

B

 

CAUTION

Use only mild soap such as hand dish 

washing soap. Use only a tube brush 

that does not have an exposed metal 

tip, or use an all plastic brush. A tube 

brush with hard metal components 

could scratch the plated surfaces

Use care not to scratch the metal surfaces with 

the end of the tube brush. Use a soft nylon brush 

on all other surfaces. After cleaning rinse thor-

oughly with warm fresh water and blow or air 

dry.

3) Lay out all components and carefully inspect 

using a bright white light, for signs of damage. 

Replace any components in question. Re-clean 

any components that show signs of contamina-

tion. 

When completing a scheduled overhaul, always 

replace the diaphragm, exhaust valves and O-

rings. Replace any and all components that show 

signs of wear or damage.

1.7 Reassembly of the SuperFlow

®

 

350 Demand Regulator

1) Install the exhaust flange, gasket, and screws 

onto the regulator body. Use Loctite

®

 222 to se-

cure the screws. Tighten the screws see "Torque 

Specs" on page APNDX-19 for correct torque.

WARNING

The gasket that sits between the 

regulator exhaust flange and regula-

tor body must be in place. Without 

this gasket, the regulator will leak and 

drowning could result.

The gasket must be installed between 

the flange and regulator body.

Be sure to use Loctite

®

 to install the 

screws in the regulator body.
