Aqua Environment 415-1500-NA 415 Series Reducing Regulator Hand/Spring Loaded 1/4" FNPT 50-1500 PSI Outlet Pressure Range Non-Adjustable

The model 415 is a piston type, hand load regulator. 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.

Features:

• Reducing Regulator
• Hand/Spring Loaded
• 1/4 in. FNPT Fittings
• 0 to 1500 psi out
• Non-adjustable (bolt/nut replaces knob)

Typical Applications:

• Component testing
• Air tank fill stations
• Firefighting air systems
• Instrumentation and calibration panels
• Process industry control
• Shipboard and offshore air and gas control
• Aircraft service equipment
• Electronic industry rare gas flow
• Vehicle CNG stations

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. AS WITH ANY REGULATOR, A RELIEF VALVE SET SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE MAXIMUM DESIRED CONTROL PRESSURE SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE OUTLET SIDE.

Maintenance and repair

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.
