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 adjustment knob facing upwards.
Operation Note: All handle directions are when viewed from above. Outlet and control pressure settings are obtained by adjusting the handle (or adjusting screw). To increase the outlet or control pressure, rotate the handle clockwise. To decrease the outlet or control pressure, rotate the handle counter-clockwise and vent the downstream side of the regulator.
Points of attention before assembly All parts must be clean and undamaged before starting assembly. Swagelok recommends replacing all o-rings and the diaphragm before assembly. All threaded parts must be lightly lubricated before assembly, this to avoid galling of threads. ...
