Please observe the previously mentioned safety precautions before actual
installation.
1.1 Before removing the cylinder cap, move the cylinder of gas to the work
site:
a. Secure cylinder to floor, wall or bench with appropriate chain or
stand to prevent toppling.
b. Remove the cylinder cap.
c. Be sure the cylinder valve is tightly closed (clockwise).
d. Remove the cylinder valve plug, if any.
e. Inspect the cylinder valve and threads for damage or contamination.
1.2 Following procedures below, secure the regulator inlet connector to the
outlet connector on the cylinder. Use an open-end wrench, not a pipe wrench.
a. The connection should be easily threaded. Do not force. If it is
not easy, you may have the wrong regulator for the gas you are
using.
b. LEFT HAND THREADS are used on some inlet connectors and are
indicated by a notch in the middle of the hex nut.
c. GASKETS are used on some inlet connectors. If so, it will be pro-
vided with the regulator. Be sure the gasket is in good shape. Do not
overtighten to avoid squashing the gasket into the gas line. You may
want to order an extra supply of these gaskets from your gas supplier.
d. Never use oil or grease on regulator or cylinder fittings, as you may
contaminate pure gases, or create a fire hazard.
1.3 Close the regulator by turning the pressure control knob, or handle,
counterclockwise. As the control knob is closed, turning should become
easier.
1.4 Shut the regulator outlet valve (if supplied) by turning the knob on the
valve clockwise.
1.5 Observing the following procedures; make connections from the regula-
tor outlet to your downstream equipment.
a. BE SURE TO CONSIDER ALL FACTORS WHEN SELECT-
ING MATERIALS. For example, if you have both high pressure
and corrosive service, select material that is suitable for both.
