Installation
Fluid pressure regulators are used for accurate, posi- tive control of the fluid pressure to spray guns, dis- pensing valves or atomizing heads.
Regulators installed at circulating line
Before Installing the Fluid Regulator
1.Determine where to locate the regulator.
2.Install a ball valve for the regulator inlet and outlet.
3.Install temporary plumbing between the ball valves.
4.Thoroughly flush the system to remove metal chips and other contaminants and to check for leaks.
Installing the Fluid Regulator
1.Remove the temporary plumbing and install one regulator for each spray gun. See the Dimension- al Drawing on page 21 for regulator dimensions. Mount the regulator in a vertical position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, for the best flow and minimum pigment settling. The gauge, if used, must be mounted vertically. If the regulator is mounted horizontally, an elbow must be used so the gauge will be vertical.
2.Put sealer on threaded connections, except on the swiveling end of swivel unions as it interferes with the swivel action.
3.Flush and test the entire system. Be sure to follow the flushing procedure on page 8.
