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. Fig. 1.

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. Fig. 4.

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.
