Diaphragm and Spring
Remove the diaphragm head cap screw (33), 1.
spring seat (23), diaphragm head (22) and separate
the diaphragm (21) from the post and pin assembly
(19).
After examination and / or replacement, reas-2.
semble by installing diaphragm on post and pin
assembly and reinstalling diaphragm head, spring
seat and cap screw.
Hook the post and pin assembly onto the lever, 3.
rotating the diaphragm assembly until holes match
up with threaded holes in diaphragm case.
Unhook the post and pin assembly from the lever 4.
and torque the diaphragm head cap screw to 7 ft-
lbs (9 N•m).
Re-hook the post and pin assembly to the lever and 5.
re-check diaphragm hole alignment, loosening and
adjusting as necessary, making sure to re-torque
the diaphragm head cap screw appropriately each
time.
Once proper hole alignment is achieved re-hook 6.
the post and pin assembly to the lever.
Apply lubricant to upper spring seat and install with 7.
the Spring.
Install the upper housing such that the screened 8.
vent assembly is in the preferred orientation.
Install the upper housing cap screws through the 9.
upper housing and diaphragm and screw into the
threaded holes in the diaphragm case nger tight.
Install the adjustment screw into the upper housing, 10.
putting slack into the diaphragm.
Finish tightening the upper housing cap screws, 11.
using a crisscross method, and tightening each to
7 ft.-lbs (9 N•m).
Re-adjust the regulator per the instructions on page 12.
one under Startup Operation.
Mark 627 Regulator Tips
Overpressure protection must always be installed 1.
to protect against overpressure of regulator, as
well as overpressure of downstream equipment in
the event of a regulator failure. Also, downstream
pressure that is substantially higher than the pres-
sure setting may result in damage to the regulator
components.
When sizing regulator you should utilize the small-2.
est orice necessary to accommodate the desired
ow/pressure requirement. Pipe size should pref-
erably be 1”, but no smaller than ¾”.
When picking spring range, if two available spring 3.
ranges will accommodate the preferred pressure
setting, utilize the lower range spring, as it will allow
ner adjustment of the setting.
ADJUSTING SET POINT: Prior to adjustment the 4.
regulator should be owing 5% or higher of the
normal operating ow.
Vent should be oriented such that it is protected 5.
from water and other material which might collect
in the Upper Housing.
It is not uncommon that a small amount of gas may 6.
migrate through the diaphragm material. Proper
venting should be installed to avoid dangerous gas
build up.
Downstream pressure will change to some degree 7.
if upstream pressure changes.
FREEZING: Freezing is a common issue where the 8.
ow of pressurized gas is concerned due to normal
refrigerative effects. It is expected that the user will
realize approximately 1°F in temperature drop for
each 15 psi of differential across the regulator. This
may be particularly problematic during cold weath-
er, when temperatures drop below 45°F (7°C). It is
important that the system be designed to alleviate
this problem by utilizing one or more methods such
as:
Multiple regulated pressure drops
Application of heat to the gas
Removal of water from the gas
Utilizing antifreeze solutions in the ow
Failure to consider the temperature-drop aspect
may result in ice plugging of the orice or erratic
performance due to ice formation on other compo-
nents within the regulator.
Noise can be generated in regulators with large 9.
pressure drops and high ow volumes, resulting in
premature wear of regulator components.
Regulators inability to maintain published ow rate 10.
may be as a result of inefcient piping on both the
upstream and downstream side of the regulator.
Upstream pressure should be checked at body
inlet.
