Important Acid Catalyst Information Important Acid Catalyst Information two-component, wood-finishing Regulator model 26A086 is designed for acid catalysts (“acid”) currently used in materials. Current acids in use (with pH levels as low as 1) are more corrosive than earlier acids. More corrosion-resistant wetted materials of construction are required, and must be used without substitution, to withstand the increased corrosive properties of these acids.
Installation Installation Do not use PTFE tape on pipe threads. Such use could cause a hazardous condition due to the loss of grounding continuity. Also, if pieces of the tape break off, the function of the regulator could be affected. Multiple Circulating Spray Station Single Direct Spray Station 06461...
. 1 are only a guide for selecting and installing a circulating or direct system; they are not actual system designs. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit your needs. The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk NOTE: Before you install the regulator, thoroughly flush of static sparking.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Adjusting the System Pressure Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever NOTICE you see this symbol. • The new system must be cleaned and tested thoroughly before admitting fluid to the regulator to avoid contaminants clogging or damaging the regulator.
Operation Flushing Procedure 2. Adjust the pump air pressure and fluid regulator for the desired spray pattern. Use the lowest possible air and fluid pressures for your application. For optimum performance, the inbound fluid pressure should be at least 500 psi (3.4 MPa, 34 bar) above the regulated fluid pressure.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10, before checking or repairing the equipment. NOTE: check all possible solutions in the chart below before you disassemble the regulator. Problem Cause Solution No pressure regulation Damaged diaphragm Replace diaphragm. Leaking or dirty seat Replace cartridge, or clean seat.

Service 6. Remove the o-ring (17) from the groove in the base NOTE: The diaphragms will have a bow in them housing (4), clean and inspect the base housing, before you install them. and replace if necessary. 10. Align the holes in the diaphragms with the backing 7.
Service Replacing the Cartridge See Fig. 3, and follow the steps below. For parts that 3. Inspect and clean the internal walls of the base are not called out in Fig. 3, see Parts, starting on page housing (4). NOTE: Be careful that you do not scrape or gouge the internal walls of the base housing, because they NOTICE are sealing surfaces.
