Operation Required Tools for Operation No tools are required for changing the set pressure on a standard regulator. A 20 mm open-ended wrench and a 13 mm open-ended wrench or socket are required for anti-tamper regulators. Points of Attention Before Operation CAUTION The product can be hot or cold, depending on the environmental temperature and the process media temperature.
To reduce maintenance related system downtime to a minimum, either during commissioning or normal operation, Swagelok recommends having maintenance kits readily available on site. The need for maintenance kits is particularly important during the commissioning phase of a system installation due to residual assembly debris remaining in the system.
Points of Attention Before Removal from the System Swagelok recommends removing the regulator from the system for servicing and maintenance. Follow all local system safety and maintenance procedures when removing the regulator. WARNING Before removing a regulator from the system, to avoid personal injury, you must: ...

Reassembly RS(H)2 Series: Standard (Self-venting) Secure the body (1) in a vise, holding on the flats. Fit the poppet cartridge O-ring (2) onto the poppet cartridge (3). Lightly lubricate the cartridge threads then insert the cartridge (3) into the body (1) and torque to 22 lbf·ft (30 N·m). Fit the self-vent seat O-ring (8) onto the self-vent seat (7a) then insert the seat into the piston (9).
Testing Swagelok recommends that the regulator be tested for seat and shell leakage to atmosphere. A well performing regulator will not show any indication of leaking. If any evidence of a leak is identified this must be rectified. Any damaged components must be replaced.
