    Installation WARNING ® When installing a Swagelok self-venting regulator, position the vent connection or line away from operating personnel. Operating personnel must protect themselves from exposure to system fluids. CAUTION Do not use the regulators as a shutoff device. The preferred mounting position of the regulator is horizontal with the dome facing upwards.
  • Page 6 External feedback CAUTION When using the regulator with external feedback, make sure that the outlet pressure can be fed back to the external feedback connection before applying pressure to the regulator. Failing to do so may lead to damage and non-functioning of the regulator as the inlet pressure will be put straight through to the outlet.

    Operation  Make the final pressure setting in the direction of increasing pressure to obtain the most accurate set points.  Once fluid is flowing through the system, fine tuning may be required.  Icing of the regulator at high flow rates or high pressure drops may occur if the gaseous media or atmosphere contains moisture.
  • Page 8 Changing the set pressure  Check the supply of medium at the inlet side. CAUTION When using the LPRD20, 25, 30 or LPRD40 with an inlet pressure higher than 2 bar, a safety valve must be installed in the outlet line, because the outlet pressure may not exceed 2 bar. ...

Hexagon socket head screws M12 (body plug) 50 N·m (442 in.·lb) (LPRD30&40 only) Body plug 50 N·m (442 in.·lb) (LPRD20&25 only) Dome cover screws M6 15 N·m (132 in.·lb) Testing Check the regulator for leakage across the seat, with low- and high inlet pressure.
  • Page 11: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting Problem: The outlet pressure creeps up, without increasing the dome pressure. Cause: A damaged valve and/or seat. Solution: Replace the valve and/or the seat. Problem: Leakage around the body plug. Cause: A damaged O-ring or insufficient torque on the body plug. Solution: Replace the O-ring or tighten the body plug according to the torque specifications.
