Reassembly of the SuperFlow® 350 Demand Regulator
SuperFlow® 350 Regulator
B
CAUTION
Be sure the washer and spacer in-
stalled on the inlet valve shaft are in-
stalled in the correct sequence. If they
are not, the regulator will not perform
properly.
5) Using the socket wrench from the tool kit, run
the lock nut onto the inlet valve stem approxi-
mately 1 ½ to 2 turns, leaving enough slack to al-
low installation of the lever. With the inlet valve
pressed in, the washer and spacer must be loose
on the inlet valve stem so the lever can be in-
stalled.
6) Check the roller lever. The lever legs MUST
be parallel to each other and free of any nicks or
burrs. Check them with a straight edge and align
them if necessary by carefully bending them with
pliers.
7) With the inlet valve stem depressed into the
regulator body, insert the feet of the roller lever
between the washer and spacer, then release the
pressure on the inlet valve.
8) Hold the inlet valve with the castle wrench so
that it cannot rotate, tighten the nut until three
threads are visible past the nut. This will be ac-
ceptable for initial set up.
9) While holding the lever down, install the
inlet nipple with its O-ring on, into the regu-
lator body. Using the torque wrench, tight-
en the inlet nipple see "Torque Specs" on
page APNDX-19 for correct torque. Make sure
the jam nut is completely threaded on to the inlet
nipple.
10) Lightly lubricate the piston and spacer. In-
stall the piston, spring set and spacer into the
adjustment tube of the regulator body, sequence
as shown in the blow-apart drawing.
11) For the adjustment shaft, lightly lubricate
the new O-ring then install it and the new wash-
er onto the shaft.
12) Slide the packing nut onto the adjustment
shaft, then slip the knob onto the end of the shaft.
Hold the shaft and rotate the knob until the pin-
holes line up. Use the inlet valve holder - the “L”
shaped tool (or a
3/32
” punch), from the regulator
tool kit to accurately align these holes.
13) Install the retaining pin by tapping it in with
a small hammer until it is flush with the outer
surface of the knob.
Install the retaining pin into the adjustment knob.
14) Lightly lubricate the end of the shaft and the
threads with the appropriate lubricant. Thread
the adjustment shaft clockwise, using the ad-
justment knob, into the regulator tube until the
packing nut can be started.
Back out the adjustment knob once the packing
nut is engaged on the demand regulator body to
access the packing nut with the torque wrench.
Using a torque wrench, tighten the packing nut
see "Torque Specs" on page APNDX-19 for correct
15) Rotate the adjustment knob in i.e., clock-
wise, several turns, then recheck the torque one
more time. Ensure the adjustment shaft rotates
smoothly and there is no binding.
For Quad-Valve Exhaust
16) Stretch the Quad-Valve main exhaust body
onto the exhaust flange of the regulator. Install a
tie wrap and tighten. Cut and discard protruding
end of tie wrap. Rotate as needed so the port and
starboard whiskers can be installed.
For Tri-Valve Exhaust
17) Stretch the Tri-Valve
®
main exhaust body
onto the exhaust flange of the regulator. Rotate
