2. Lubricate the internal area of the regulator with approved lubricant
where the Main Tube O-ring will insert. This is important to help
prevent this O-ring from possibly getting cut when it is installed.
3. Install the Main Tube into the regulator body. Install the O-ring and
the Bent Tube Adapter and tighten to the torque specifications from the
correct Table (by model), see "Torque Specs" on page APNDX-19.
4. Tighten the Packing Nut at the Flex Knob with a
15/16
" wrench to the
torque specifications from the correct Table (by model), see "Torque
Specs" on page APNDX-19. Turn in the Flex Knob until an audible click is
heard then out three full turns. This is typically very close to the op-
timum position to check the adjustment.
5. Test the regulator for proper adjustment. Follow the procedures in "1.2.1 455 Balanced Demand Regula-
tor Test for Correct Adjustment, Fully Assembled" on page 455BAL-1.
NOTE: If using a Superflow
®
450 that was purchased before May 2015 the Packing Lock Clip P/N 540-531
will appear to have a different shape than the one included in this kit. They are the same part, use the same
P/N, but have undergone a slight design change.
6. Install the Packing Lock Clip on the Main Tube, reinstall the Diaphragm and Cover Assembly. Tighten
the Screws to the torque specifications from the correct table, see "Torque Specs" on page APNDX-19.
