Table 8. Troubleshooting Guide
ISSUE POSSIBLE SOLUTION (SEE FIGURES 7 AND 14 FOR PARTS LOCATION)
Unit does not provide tight shutoff when
inlet pressure is below set pressure
Check for:
• damage or improper installation of the main valve O-rings
• erosion or trapped debris on the cage and diaphragm surfaces
• damage or debris on the surfaces of the pilot plug and seat
• mineral deposits or sediment buildup inside the spaces of the restrictor and/or pilot supply strainer/lter
• debris clogging the gaps inside the restrictor
Main valve is wide-open when inlet
pressure is below set pressure
Check for:
• debris in the restrictor, pilot or pilot supply strainer/lter
• debris in the main valve
• main valve and pilot diaphragms for damage
Liquid escapes from pilot spring case • Replace pilot diaphragm assembly
Liquid escapes from travel indicator • Replace indicator stem O-ring, if indicator is not desired, convert to a non-travel indicator assembly
Unit does not open when inlet pressure
is above set pressure
Check for:
• clogged main valve inlet strainer (if used) or pilot supply strainer/lter (if used)
• main valve diaphragm damage
• proper control line connection and make sure control line hand valve (if used) is open
Inlet pressure rises higher than expected
Check for:
• correct main valve sizing
• clogged main valve inlet strainer
• restrictive inlet or outlet piping
• plugged or restricted control line
• proper control line location (should not be installed in or directly downstream of an elbow or swage)
• proper springs in the main valve and pilot
Unit response gets slower and performance
starts to decrease
Check for:
• mineral deposits or sediment buildup inside the spaces of the restrictor
• debris clogging the gaps inside the restrictor
• clogged pilot supply lter/strainer

1. See Table 1 for main valve structural design ratings and Table 3 for pilot ratings.
2. For differential pressure above 400 psid / 27.6 bar d diaphragm temperatures are limited to 150°F / 66°C.
3. These are recommendations that provide the best regulator performance for a typical application. Please contact your local Sales Ofce for further information if a deviation from the
standard recommendations are required.
