MODEL 415-1500 REGULATOR
090809PS; 091112PS
GENERAL
The model 415 is a piston type, hand load regulator
available in outlet pressure ranges
of 6000, 5000,
1500, and 400 PSI. It uses
an unbalanced poppet
design for ruggedness
and simplicity. There is a small
variation
of control pressure with changing inlet
pressure as noted in the specifications. A 30
micron
filter in
the poppet cartridge helps prevent damage by
contaminants.
SPECIFICATIONS
Max inlet pressure 6000 PSI
Outlet pressure
50 to 1500 PSI
Body ports
1/4" NPT - inlet and
outlet opposite each
other plus inlet and
outlet gauge ports at
60 degree spacing
Flow coefficient (Cv) .06 (equals .07" orifice)
Materials
anodized aluminum
body, brass and
stainless interiors
viton & KEL-F seals
Outlet pressure variation
70/1000 for -5000&6000
with inlet pressure
22/1000 for -1500
(outlet rise/ inlet drop in PSI) 6 /1000 for -400
Model 415B series
brass wetted surfaces
see note 7
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Refer to drawing 415 cross section and assemble in
clean dry area.
2. Blow all parts clean.
3. Inspect sealing area of vent seat item 3
with 10X
magnification and remove any particles.
4. Install O ring 13 on piston 4.
5. Completely pack
area between piston housing 5
and piston
4 with Cristo lub MCG 121 or 111 or
equivalent. Sufficient
grease should be used so it
takes pressure to extrude
grease out as piston is
inserted into housing. Wipe off excess.
6. Install
O ring 14 with Cristolub 121 or 111 grease
and install seat item 3.
7. Apply Slick 50 or equivalent EP grease to bearings
10 and 11, screw 8 and threads in housing 7.
8. Install spring guide 6, bearings 10 and
11, and
spring 12 as shown.
9. Install preassembled
poppet cartridge item 2,
preassembled piston housing and O ring 15 as shown.
Lubricate O rings and threads with Cristolub
121or 111
grease or equivalent.
10. Holding
cap downward, assemble cap and body.
Torque to 20 to 30 ft lbs.
11. Install adjusting
screw and knob with Slick 50
grease on threads.
INSTALLATION
Use a suitable pipe thread
sealant such as
Teflon tape on inlet and outlet threads. Avoid
over torquing pipe
thread. Normal torque
applied with a 6 or 8 inch long
wrench is ample.
Use ample Teflon tape - 3 or 4
turns, not 1 or 2
turns. The inlet is on the left when facing
the
adjusting knob with the two gage ports
upward. An optional panel mounting ring is
available (part no.
657). The ring clamps to the
cap portion of the
regulator at any desired
location and orientation. The ring has two
threaded holes parallel to
the regulator spaced
2.8" apart. The regulator is
NOT shipped
oxygen clean and should NOT be used for
oxygen service as
provided. Consult the
factory for details on oxygen service.
AS WITH
ANY REGULATOR, A
RELIEF VALVE SET
SLIGHTLY
ABOVE THE MAXIMUM DESIRED
CONTROL PRESSURE SHOULD BE
INSTALLED ON THE OUTLET SIDE.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
CAUTION
-
As with any regulator or
valve,
particulates or moisture can plug or
freeze the
internal filter or valve seat. This can occur
when
up-stream dryers
are not changed or remain
unused for long
periods allowing corrosion
materials to accumulate. In
critical applications
where it is important not to lose flow, a
larger
particulate filter should be used upstream. Also
an orifice such as the Aqua
model 796 should be
used
downstream. This reduces the tendency to
freeze when moisture is present. Consult factory
for details. The
user should establish time
intervals for changing the valve cartridge, filter
and
upstream dryers
based on experience and
service conditions. No representation is made
herein concerning such time intervals as each
use
is
unique. Back-up systems should be used in
very critical applications since
field maintenance is
hard to insure. The poppet cartridge 832
is a
factory assembled item and should be replaced if
required and
not disassembled unless absolutely
necessary. Spare cartridges are available
at a
nominal cost and should be kept on hand if rapid
repairs
are required. IN ALL CASES THE UNIT
CAN
BE RETURNED TO THE FACTORY OR
DEALER FOR
REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY IF
APPLICABLE OR
AT A NOMINAL CHARGE.
Maintenance or repairs should only be done by
qualified personnel in a clean environment by
following the drawings herein.
