Due to normal wear and damage that may occur
from external sources, the regulator should be
inspected periodically. Parts such as the O-rings,
gaskets, diaphragm, and packing should be replaced
as necessary. The frequency of inspection and
replacement depends upon the severity of service
conditions or the requirements of state and federal laws.
Suitable lubricants are shown in the assembly
drawings. Apply the lubricants as the regulator is
being reassembled.
Refer to Figure 4 or 5 while disassembling the
regulator. The regulator does not have to be taken
out of the pipeline to be disassembled. Relieve the
spring compression by turning the handwheel
(key 38) counterclockwise.
If it appears that the valve does not shut off tightly,
the orice and valve plug may be worn or damaged.
Proceed as follows to check them.
1. Unscrew the valve plug guide (key 5) from the
body (key 1). The valve plug spring (key 10) and
the valve plug (key 4) will normally come out of
the body along with the valve plug guide.
2. Remove the orice (key 3). Examine the orice
and valve plug seating surfaces for damage.
3. Lapping procedure:
a. Place a small amount of 500-grit silicon carbide
or aluminum oxide lapping compound on a at
surface such as a piece of heavy plate glass.
b. Take the valve plug or orice and move it in a
“Figure 8” motion on the lapping compound.
Do not allow the part to tip or rock since this
would round the corners.
c. Repeat step b for each part, this time using
an 800-grit or 1000-grit silicon carbide or
aluminum oxide lapping compound.
d. Wash away all traces of the lapping compound.
To help prevent scratching the seating surfaces,
a light coat of oil may be applied before returning
the valve plug and orice to the body.
4. Return the orice, valve plug, valve plug spring,
and valve plug guide to the body.
Leakage around the adjusting screw may indicate
worn packing material. Follow the instructions below
to replace the packing rings.
1. Take out the machine screw (key 41) and lift off
the washer (key 44) and handwheel (key 38).
2. Unscrew the packing box (key 32). Unscrew the
packing nut (key 35) and the packing follower
(key 34) off of the adjusting screw (key 33).
3. Unscrew and pull the adjusting screw out through
the bottom of the packing box.
4. Pull out the old packing (key 36) and replace it
with three new packing rings. Replace the
packing box gasket (key 37).
5. Reassemble the stufng box unit by returning the
adjusting screw to the inside of the packing box.
Slip the packing follower onto the adjusting
screw and into the packing box. Screw on the
packing nut.
6. Put the packing box back onto the spring case.
Set the handwheel and washer on the adjusting
screw and screw in the machine screw.
When the regulator does not respond to differential
pressure changes or the loading pressure seems to
leak to the downstream piping, the diaphragm could be
worn out or ruptured. Inspect the diaphragm as follows:
1. Remove the cap screws (key 16) from the
diaphragm casing. Lift the entire spring case
(key 2) off of the body.
2. Take the upper spring seat (key 9), regulator spring
(key 11) and the lower spring seat (key 8,
Type 95HD) out of the lower spring case. In
