EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture or malfunction and result in serious injury.
•
This equipment is for professional use only.
•
Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.
•
Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are not sure, call your Graco distributor.
•
Do not alter or modify this equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories.
•
Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
•
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. Refer to the
Technical Data on page 19 for the maximum working pressure of this equipment.
•
Use fluids and solvents which are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. Refer to the
Technical Data section of all equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer's
warnings.
•
Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not expose
Graco hoses to temperatures above 180F (82C) or below -40F (-40C).
•
Wear hearing protection when operating this equipment.
•
Never use 1,1, 1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use could result in a
chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion.
•
Comply with all applicable local, state, and national fire, electrical, and safety regulations.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can splash fluid in the eyes or on the skin and
cause serious injury.
•
Do not point the gun at anyone or at any parts of the body.
•
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 10 whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure;
stop spraying; clean, check, or repair the equipment; and install or clean the spray nozzle.
•
Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•
Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, or swallowed.
•
Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.
•
Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
•
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and
solvent manufacturer.
A fluid pressure regulator is used in air spray systems to
ensure accurate, positive control of fluid pressure to an
air spray gun or to a low pressure dispensing valve or
atomizing head.
A regulator installed at a circulating line take-off or pump
reduces main line pressure to maintain the desired fluid
pressure to the air spray gun or to a low pressure
dispensing valve or atomizing head.
Back Pressure Regulators
Models 233810, 233811, 233812, 233950, 234255,
234257, 234258, 233758, 234261, and 234262, are
back pressure regulators that limit the supply pressure
to a set value by opening an outlet and guiding back
excess material when the predetermined pressure has
been achieved. These valves are used in circulating
systems. Model 233810 pneumatic back pressure
regulator is shown in FIG. 1.
Fluid Pressure Regulators
Models 233757, 233759, 233774, 234263, 234267,
234273, and 17L324 (FIG. 2.) are mechanically
operated fluid pressure regulators designed primarily for
use with low to medium viscosity fluids.
Models 233773, 233809, 234256, and 234272 (FIG. 3.)
are pneumatically operated fluid pressure regulators
designed primarily for use with highly viscous coatings.

Install one regulator for each spray gun.
2.
Apply thread sealant to connections as necessary.
3.
Make sure that the direction of fluid flow agrees with
the flow direction markings on the regulator body.
a.
Install a fluid pressure regulator upstream of the
gun: Connect the fluid line from the pump to the
inlet of the fluid regulator. Connect the fluid line
to the gun to the regulator’s outlet.
b.
Install a back pressure regulator downstream of
the gun. Connect the fluid return line from the
gun to the inlet of the back pressure regulator.
Connect the fluid return line to the pump to the
regulator’s outlet.
4.
Flush and test the entire system.
FIG. 4., FIG. 5., and FIG. 6. show possible configurations
for installing a system. They do not depict actual system
designs. Consult your Graco distributor for assistance in
designing a system that meets your specific
requirements.

Flush Before First Use
Your pressure regulator has been tested in the factory
with an anti-corrosion liquid. Before using the regulator,
thoroughly flush the system with a solvent to remove
residue of this liquid as well as any contaminants that
have been introduced during assembly of the system.
Pressure Relief Procedure
1.
Shut off the air to the pump.
2.
Trigger the air spray gun to relieve the fluid
pressure.
3.
Open the fluid drain valve to relieve all fluid
pressure, having a container ready to catch the
drainage.
Adjusting the Regulator
The fluid pressure regulator controls pressure
downstream from its outlet. The inlet fluid pressure
should always be higher than the outlet fluid pressure.
If you are using an accessory fluid pressure gauge,
trigger the air spray gun to relieve pressure in the line
when reducing the pressure, to ensure a correct gauge
reading.
Adjust the pump air pressure and the fluid pressure
regulator for the best spraying combination.
In a circulating system, the back pressure valve controls
the fluid pressure upstream of its inlet in the same way.
Mechanical Regulator
1.
Back out the adjustment screw until there is no
spring pressure.
2.
Turn on the fluid supply, to admit fluid to the
regulator.
3.
Turn the screw clockwise to adjust fluid pressure to
the desired level.
Pneumatic Regulator
1.
With the fluid supply shut off, turn on the air
pressure to the regulator.
2.
Turn on the fluid supply, to admit fluid to the
regulator.
3.
Increase the fluid inlet pressure. When the fluid
outlet pressure is at the desired level, shut off the air
to the fluid regulator.
WARNING
Read the warnings on page 4, and follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure below whenever you:
•
are instructed to relieve pressure
•
stop spraying
•
check or service any of the equipment
•
install or clean the fluid nozzle.
Relieve the pressure (page 10) before checking or repairing the equipment.
To repair the regulator, refer to page 12.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Drop in fluid outlet pressure.
Ruptured diaphragm (15).
Replace diaphragm.
Air escaping (pneumatic regulators
only).
Check air hose and connections.
Replace piston seal (21).
Fluid outlet pressure increases to
level of fluid inlet pressure.
Valve ball (5) and seat (2) are worn
or stuck open.
Clean ball and seat. Replace worn or
damaged parts.
Fluid leaking from upper housing.
Ruptured diaphragm (15).
Replace diaphragm.
Flush before changing colors, at the end of the day,
before storing, and before repairing the equipment.
Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid you are
pumping and with the wetted parts of your system.
Check with your fluid manufacturer or supplier for
recommended flushing fluids and flushing frequency.
Relieve the pressure after flushing.
Do not allow paint or solvent to sit in the system for
extended periods. Fluid could dry in the regulator and
cause leakage. If leakage occurs, relieve pressure, then
disassemble and clean the regulator.
Cleaning and Repair
When changing fluids or colors, the regulator should be
disassembled and cleaned. Regular cleaning and
inspection of the internal parts is necessary to keep the
fluid regulator working properly.
1.
Relieve all air and fluid pressure in the system.
2.
Remove the regulator from the system.
3.
Disassemble the regulator (see the parts drawings
on pages 13 through 18).
4.
Clean and inspect all parts.
5.
Inspect the diaphragm, packings, o-rings, and seals
for wear. Check the ball and seat for nicks, wear, or
other damage.
6.
Lubricate packings, o-rings and seals when
reassembling the regulator.
CAUTION
Be very careful when handling the carbide balls and
seats. Damage will cause poor operation and
leakage.
