Installation and Service Instructions
IS-R55
R55 Series Regulator
ISSUED: September 2005
Doc. #ISR55, ECN #050388, Rev. 1
Installation
1. The regulator should be installed with reasonable
accessibility for service whenever possible - repair service
kits are available. Keep pipe and tubing lengths to a minimum
with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint
compound should be used sparingly and applied only to
the male pipe - never into the female port. Do not use PTFE
tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break
off and lodge inside unit, possibly causing malfunction.
2. Install regulator so that media flow is in the direction of
arrow. Installation must be upstream (high pressure) side
and as close to the devices it is to service (valve, cylinder,
tool, etc.). Mounting may be in any position.
3. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the regulator
body for your convenience. It is necessary to install a
gauge or pipe plugs into each port during installation.
4. For protection against rust, pipe scale, and other foreign
matter, install a filter on the upstream (high pressure) side
as close to the regulator as possible.
Reduced Pressure Adjustment
To adjust reduced pressure settings, loosen lock screw in center
of knob and turn knob clockwise to increase pressure setting,
and counterclockwise to lower setting. With relieving-type
regulators, the reduced pressure follows adjustment of the screw.
With non-relieving regulators, adjustment for lower reduced
pressure will not be obtained until the reduced pressure system
is "bled off" or until air flow starts.
