Installation Guide

Remove the red shipping plugs from the inlet and outlet to vent the OWRGD prior to installation.
Keep the piping interior, regulator inlet, and regulator outlet free from dirt, chemical sealant (pipe
dope), Teflon tape, or other debris. Materials in piping or regulator inlet or outlet create a loss of
pressure control. Apply pipe sealant on the male (exterior) pipe threads. Sealing materials can
lodge in the regulator and cause a loss of pressure control. Gas must flow through the valve body
in the same direction as the arrow on the valve. Gas flowing in the wrong direction may prevent a
disconnect.
OWRGD Valve Positions
The OWRGD valve positions are shown in the illustrations.
Valve open: valve slot horizontal Valve closed: valve slot positioned at angle
Note: For devices that are mounted in a horizontal position, the OWRGD valve shaft is
closed, the valve shaft is in a 7:00/1:00 orientation. The valve rotates counterclockwise from
open to closed but does not rotate a full 90 degrees. If the device is mounted vertically, the
valve shaft orientation changes to a 5:00/11:00 orientation.
Installing the OWRGD in the Pipe
1. Select the location for the OWRGD and plan piping revisions to accommodate the gas flow
direction, OWRGD device body length, swing radius, and antenna clearance.
