rEgulaTOr
Disconnect the hosing from your Inline Regulator allowing it to be unscrewed
fromtheFrontRegulatorMount(FRM)(sEE figurE 5.7).
Turn the Inline Regulator upside down and carefully unscrew the two
sections, taking care not to lose any of the washers that form the spring
pack inside the regulator (sEE figurE 5.8).
Byrmlygrippingtheexposedendofthebrassregulatorpiston,carefully
remove the piston and spring stack in its entirety (sEE figurE 5.9).
Thespringpackcomprisesof16 sprungwashers,whichmustbeinthe
correct conguration for the inline regulator to perform at the required
pressure range(sEE figurE 5.10).
Inserta1/8”hexkeyintotheadjuster
screw in the bottom half of the
inline regulator, and wind the screw
clockwise through the bottom section
of the regulator body (sEE figurE
5.11) and pull free when it will no
longer turn upwards anymore.

UsingadryQ-tip,cleanthesealthatsitsatthetopofthebodyofthebottom
section of the Inline regulator (sEE figurE 5.12). Using a light oil and a
freshQ-tip,re-lubricatethesealreadyforre-assembly.
Thoroughlycleanthetwoo-ringsontheadjusterscrewandlubricateready
forre-assembly(sEE figurE 5.13). Inspect top face of adjuster unit for
any excessive wear or damage as this could cause inline regulator to creep
(sEE figurE 5.14).
Note: The sealing face on the inline regulator piston can also cause the
regulator to creep or “supercharge”, so this should also be checked.
Withthethreadedsectiontowardstothebaseoftheregulator body,re-
insert the adjuster screw into the bottom half of the regulator body (sEE
figurE 5.15)
. Apply light pressure to the top of the adjuster screw and
usinga1/8th"hexkeywindtheadjusterscrewcounterclockwiseuntilit
stopsatthebaseoftheregulatorbody.Turntheadjusterscrewveturns
in a clockwise direction to set the inline regulator pressure at approximately
300-350psi.
Nexttakethepistonandspringstackandcleantheo-ringattheendofthe
piston,re-lubricatingitwithalightsmearofVaselinereadyforre-assembly
(sEE figurE 5.16). Insert the piston and spring stack into the top half
of the inline regulator body (sEE
figurE 5.17)
.
Keeping the top half of the inline
regulator upside down, screw the two
halves of the inline regulator together
(sEE figurE 5.18).
You have now stripped,
cleaned, lubricated and
assembled your inline
regulator.
