The Model 1000HP is a pressure reducing regulator used to control downstream (outlet or P2) pressure to levels
between 10 and 300 psig (0.7-20.6 Barg). Sizes are 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2" (DN15, 20, 25, 32, 40 and
50).
The unit is designed for liquid, gaseous or steam service with proper trim utilization, and proper jet selection.
Refer to Technical Bulletin 1000HP-TB for sizing, application and selection recommendations.

CAUTION
For welded installations, all internal trim parts,
seals and diaphragm(s) must be removed from
regulator body prior to welding into pipeline. The
heat of fusion welding will damage non-metallic
parts if not removed. NOTE: This does not apply
to units equipped with extended pipe nipples.
II. INSTALLATION
1. An inlet block valve should always be installed.
An outlet block valve is recommended.
2. If service application is continuous such that
shut down is not readily accomplished, it is rec om mended that an inlet block valve and a man u al
bypass valve be installed.
3. Pipe unions must be installed to allow removal
from piping. Trim can only be changed by unit
removal from pipeline. If fl anges are utilized, a
lap joint fl ange is required on the inlet end of the
regulator to help align bolt holes as the cylinder
screws into place.
4. An outlet pressure gauge should be located ap prox i mate ly ten pipe diameters down stream, and
with in sight.
5. All installations should include a downstream relief de vice if the inlet pressure could exceed the
pressure rating of any downstream equip ment or
the maximum outlet pressure rating of the unit.
CAUTION
Installation of adequate overpressure protection
is recommended to protect the regulator from
overpressure and all downstream equipment from
damage in the event of regulator failure.

III. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
1. The Model 1000 is available in two variations:
1000LP (larger diaphragm) for downstream pressure control from 1-30 psig (0.07-2.06 Barg);
1000HP (small er diaphragm) for down stream
pressure control from 10-300 psig (0.7-20.6
Barg), body size dependent.
2. Movement occurs as pressure variations reg ister
on the diaphragm. The registering pres sure is
the outlet, P
range spring opposes di a phragm move ment. As
out let pressure drops, the range spring push es
the diaph ragm down, opening the port; as outlet
pressure increases, the dia phragm pushes up
and the port closes.
3. The Model 1000 includes a rocker arm in its op er a tion al mechanism. The rocker arm allows the
regulator to operate fl ow-to-open (FTO), rather
than conventional fl ow-to-close (FTC), which
increases rangeability.

body near the outlet. These clear ances vary as
to whether the fl uid is a gas (including steam), a
liquid, or a viscous liquid (requires Option 1000-
27). Jets must be se lec ted to match one of these
three general fl uids. An improper jet selection will
reduce perfor mance.

IV. STARTUP
1. Start with the block valves closed. A bypass
valve may be used to maintain outlet pressure
in the downstream system without changing the
fol low ing steps.
2. Relax the range spring by turning the adjusting
screw counterclockwise (CCW) a min i mum of
three (3) full revolutions. This re duces the outlet
(down stream) pres sure set point.
2IOM-1000HP-Basic
3. If it is a “hot” piping system, and equipped with
a bypass valve, slowly open the bypass valve
to pre-heat the system piping and to allow slow
expansion of the piping. Ensure proper steam
trap operation if installed. Closely monitor out let
(downstream) pressure via gauge to ensure not
over-pressurizing. NOTE: If no bypass valve is
installed, extra caution should be used in start ing
up a cold system; i.e. do everything slowly.
Page 3
4. Crack open the outlet (downstream) block
valve.
5. Slowly open the inlet (upstream) block valve ob serv ing the outlet (downstream) pressure gauge.
Determine if the regulator is fl owing. If not, slowly
rotate the regulator adjusting screw clockwise
(CW) until fl ow begins.
8. When fl ow is established steady enough that the
outlet (downstream) block valve is fully open, begin to slowly close the bypass valve if in stalled.
9. Develop system fl ow to a level near its expected
normal rate, and reset the regulator set point by
turning the adjusting screw CW to increase outlet
pressure, or CCW to reduce outlet pres sure.
6. Continue to slowly open the inlet (upstream) block
valve until fully open.
7. Continue to slowly open the outlet (down stream)
block valve, especially when the down stream piping system isn't pres surized. If the outlet (downstream) pressure exceeds the de sired pres sure,
close the block valve and go to Step 2, then return
to Step 4.
SECTION V
V. SHUTDOWN
1. On systems with a bypass valve, and where sys tem pressure is to be maintained as the regulator
is shut down, slowly open the bypass valve while
closing the inlet (up stream) block valve. Fully
close the inlet (up stream) block valve. (When on
bypass, the system pressure must be constantly
observed and manually reg u lat ed.) Close the
outlet (downstream) block valve.
SECTION VI
VI. MAINTENANCE
WARNING
SYSTEM UNDER PRESSURE. Prior to per form ing
any maintenance, isolate the regulator from the
system and relieve all pressure. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
A. General:
1. Maintenance pro ce dures hereinafter are
based upon removal of the unit from the
pipeline where in stalled.
10. Reduce system fl ow to a minimum level and
ob serve set point. Outlet pressure will rise from
the set point of Step 9. The maximum rise in
outlet pressure on de creas ing fl ow should not
exceed the stated upper limit of the range spring
by greater than 30%; i.e. 10–40 psig (0.7-2.75
Barg) range spring, at low fl ow the outlet pres sure
should not exceed 52 psig (3.6 Barg). If it does,
consult factory.
CAUTION
Do not walk away and leave a by passed regulator
un at tend ed.
2. If the regulator and system are to both be shut down, slowly close the inlet (upstream) block
valve. Close the outlet (downstream) valve only
if reg u la tor removal is required.
4. Regulators originally supplied as “oxygen
cleaned” (Options 1000-55) are assembled

If any of the above dimensions are ex ceeded
by 1/8" (3 mm), re place rocker arm (14).
21. Using small gauge wire approximately 18"
(500 mm) long, form a hook and place the
hook over one prong of the rocker arm (14),
and rotate the rocker arm (14) up until slack
is removed in the mechanism. Secure the
wire through a body (1) fl ange bolt hole on
the outlet side of the regulator.
22. Take the diaphragm sub-assembly (Step 16)
and lower it down into the body (1) cavity
off-center approximately 3/4"-1" (20-25 mm)
and to wards the inlet side of the regulator.
When fully low ered, slide the diaphragm subas sem bly horizontally to wards the regulator's
out let. The wire of Step 21 should hold the
rocker arm (14) up to allow engaging of the
pusher plate and stud (13) (with stud nut (10)
and stud collar (16)), so the rocker arm (14)
prongs rest directly on the stud collar (16).
(Do not allow the rocker arm (14) prongs
to get between the stud nut (10) and the
stud collar (16).) Pull fi rmly to remove wire
hold ing rocker arm (14) up.
23. Align diaphragm (20) bolt holes with body (1)
fl ange bolt holes. Set range spring (27) onto
pressure plate (3), place spring button (4) on
top of range spring (27). Place multi-pur pose,
high temperature grease into de pres sion of

19. Check rocker arm shaft (17) for wear and
straightness. Replace if damaged. Rein stall
in body (1) through rocker arm (14). Apply
thread sealant to the rocker arm shaft (17)
threads prior to tightening. Make sure that
the rocker arm shaft (17) enters the support
slot opposite the threaded open ing, and does
24. Aligning the matchmarks, place spring cham ber (2) over the above stacked parts. Install
all bolts (8), nuts (9) and nameplate (28) by
hand tight en ing. Tighten bolting (8 and 9) in
a cross pattern that allows spring chamber
(2) to be pulled down evenly. Rec om mend ed
torques are as follows:
not align crooked and re strained from full
thread engagement of the rocker arm shaft
(17). Make sure that the rocker arm (14)
prongs that straddle the piston (24) hold the
piston collar (23) against the piston (24); do
not allow the rocker arm (14) prongs to push
directly on the piston (24).
20. Clean the body (1) diaphragm fl ange. Install
a new diaphragm gasket (19). Composition
(soft) diaphragms require no diaphragm gas ket. NOTE:Use only gaskets man u fac tured
by Cashco, Inc., that are of the same ma te ri al
* Minimum recommended torque regardless of gas ket ma te -
ri als. Some gasket materials may require higher bolt torques
to obtain adequate seal.
Gasket ma te ri al may take a “set” with time; a re check of
torques should be made if the unit has been stored on the
shelf for over 30 days.
NOTE: Never replace bolting (8 and 9) with just any bolting if
lost. Bolt heads and nuts are marked with spec i fi ca tion iden ti-fi ca tion num bers. Use only proper grades as re placements.
25. Reinstall adjusting screw (6) with locknut
(7); install closing cap (31) if provided.
26. Soap solution test around bolting (8 and 9),
body (1), spring chamber (2) fl anges, and
cyl in der (21)-to-body (1) joint for leak age.
Ensure that an outlet pressure is main tained
during this leak test of at least mid-range
spring level; i.e. 10-40 psig (0.7-2.75 Barg)

C. Special Instructions for Diaphragm
Removal.
1. If Option 1000-3, Handwheel or Tee-bar, is
uti lized, the adjusting screw (6) and locknut
(7) are replaced re spec tive ly by handwheel/
tee-bar adjusting screw (6) and locking le ver
(7).
2. Use only gaskets of the same material as
those originally utilized. Cashco's Option
1000-45, non-asbestos construction, uti liz es
spe cial gas kets.
D. Diaphragm Setting Adjustment:
1. In the previous “Sub-Section B. Diaph ragm
Replace ment”, care was taken to prevent
re mov al of the stud collar (16) and stud nut
(10). Location of the stud nut (10) is a critical
ad just ment for a Model 1000 regulator.
2. Not removing the stud nut (10) will provide
per for mance equal to original factory per form ance when a diaphragm(s) (20) is re placed
with a like diaphragm(s) (20). How ever, if the
stud nut (10) is removed, or a switch is made
from metal to composition diaphragm (20), or
vice versa, the dia phragm setting should be
checked.
3. Follow procedure “Sub-Section B. Dia phragm
Re place ment” to the point of re mov ing
diaphragm(s) (20), Step 14. Remove di a phragm gasket (19) and pusher plate stud
gas ket (12). Obtain a fl at 12" x 1-1/2" x 1/4"
(300 mm x 40 mm x 6 mm) plate bar with a
3/4" (20 mm) hole drilled in the center. Hook
the pusher plate stud (13) into the rocker arm
(14) prongs prop er ly. Pull fi rmly up on the
pusher plate stud (13) to ensure that all slack
is re moved from the mech a nism and that the
piston (24) is seat ed fi rmly. Relax the pulling
and place the fl at bar over the pusher plate
stud (13) with the stud (13) passing through
the hole of the bar. Again, pull fi rmly up to
remove mech a nism slack. One of three positions will be reached:
a. Diaphragm setting too high. Pusher plate
stud (13) will lift the fl at bar over 0.020"
(0.50 mm).
b. Diaphragm setting acceptable. Bar lift ed
be tween 0.010"-0.020" (0.25-0.50 mm).
c. Diaphragm setting too low. Bar lifted less
than 0.010" (0.25 mm), or failed to be
lifted.
4. The castle style stud nut (10) has six lo ca tions
per revolution to align the stud nut (10) slots
with the drilled hole through the pusher plate
stud (13). Each stud nut (10) slot represents
a movement up/down of 0.010" (0.25 mm).
NOTE: The ideal diaphragm set ting is 0.015"
(0.38 mm) high, and better per for mance
is usu al ly obtained when the di a phragm is
slight ly higher rather than low er. As the measuring of thousandths of an inch is dif fi cult with
such a procedure, it is rec om mended that the
“null” position be found where the di a phragm
(20) is fl ush with the body (1) fl ange (bar ap-
prox i mate ly at 0.000" (0.00 mm)). Remove
the push er plate stud (13), rotate the stud nut
(10) one or two slots CCW to bring the setting
to 0.010"-0.020" (0.25-0.50 mm) high.

E. Trim Removal and Replacement
1. Install body (1) horizontally in a vise with the
spring chamber (2) directed upwards, and the
body (1) held at the outlet end.
2. Use a box end wrench or socket, with a lever
length of at least 24 inches (600 mm), and
place it over the hex surfaces of the cylinder
(21). The wrench should be rapped with a
ham mer to loosen.
CAUTION
Take precaution to not allow the piston (24) to fall
from within the cylinder (21); tip cylinder with hex end
down.
3. Continue to unscrew cylinder (21) until re moved. The piston (24) and piston collar (23)
should come out by gravity with the cylinder
(21) removal.
4. If an Option 1000-17 piston spring (30) is utilized, it also should be removed and re placed
at trim replacement.
5. Inspect inside surface of cylinder (21) at four
points:
a. Valve seat (21.2). Check for ero sion/
wear on seat ing surfaces. If wear is ex ces sive, con sider utilizing Option 100015, stel lited seat sur faces.
b. Seat (21.2). Check for wire drawing
be tween cyl in der (21.1) and valve seat
(21.2) where pressed in. If wear exists
here, an Option 1000-14, integral seat,
should be utilized as a re place ment.
c. Flow induced wear at expansion zone
where fl uid turns to enter the piston (24)
center.
d. Where the piston (24) ribbed guides bear
(guide zone).
If wear is signifi cant at any of these points,
both cylinder sub-assembly (21) and piston
sub-assembly (24 or 24, 25 and 26) should

be replaced. (Cashco, Inc., does not rec om mend attempting to replace the valve seat
(21.2) by pressing out and then re-pressing
in. Cashco, Inc., also recom mends that a
cyl in der (21) and piston (24 or 24, 25 and 26)
be replaced as a set. Composition seat discs
(25) may be re placed individually.)
6. If a composition (soft) seat trim design is uti lized, use the following sub-steps:
a. Tighten the “fl ats” of the seat disc screw
(26) within a vise. Firmly hand-grip the
piston (24) and turn CCW to loosen the
seat disc screw (26). If too tight, place a
screwdriver or similar rod within the pis ton
(24) port holes and rotate. Remove the
piston (24), and inspect for raised burrs
around the port holes if a device is used
to loosen; deburr as re quired. NOTE: Do
not grip the piston (24) with a wrench.
b. Remove the seat disc (25) and clean the
re cessed piston (24) area where the seat
disc (25) is placed. If the edges which
form the recess of the piston (24) are
worn, also replace piston (24) and seat
disc screw (26).
c. Place seat disc (25) into recessed end of
piston (24).
d. Place thread sealant on threaded por tion
of seat disc screw (26), and manu ally ro tate piston (24) into seat disc screw (26)
(still fi xed in vise) to secure seat disc (25).
Tight en seat disc screw (26) fi rmly. Do

the seat disc screw (26) into the seat disc
(25); the seat disc (25) should lay fl at with
no rounded sur face. A mech anical aid is
nor mal ly not required; hand-tightening is
nor mal ly suf fi cient.
7. If utilized, place piston spring (30) over
small er end of cylinder (21).
8. Insert piston assembly (24 metal seat; 24,
25 and 26 comp. seat) into end of cylinder
(21).
9. Place piston collar (23) over end of piston
(24), ensuring that the spherical surface of
the piston (24) and the piston collar (23) bear
against each other.
10. Clean the body (1) cavity through the open ings. Clean the “jet area” just inside the body
(1) outlet end through which the piston (24)
projects. Clean all parts to be reused. NOTE:
On valves originally sup plied with Option

12. Lubricate the cylinder (21) threads lightly with
thread sealant. Insert the entire trim stack
into the body (1) opening and screw until
tightly seated. Using the ham mer and wrench
handle, impact the cylinder (21) into the body
(1). NOTES: 1. Take special pre cau tion to
keep piston collar from getting “cocked” at an
angle when inserted. 2. On 2" brass bodies
(1) with brass trim, a TFE body O-ring (43) is
utilized to seal between the body (1) and the
cylinder (21) sub-as sem bly.
13. Inspect the body (1) outlet end to ensure
that the piston (24) is located nearly concentric to the body (1) bore in the jet area with
clear ance. Under no conditions should the
piston (24) be touching the body (1). Use
two pencils or similar shafts to place in inlet
and outlet ends of regulator and alternately
push on each end of the piston (24) to ensure
free movement. (Total move ment is ap prox i mate ly 1/8" (3 mm).)
14. Bench test unit for suitable operation and seat
leakage. NOTE: Regulators are not nor mal ly
tight shutoff devices. Pressure must build
above setpoint for best shutoff.
11. Use special care cleaning the fl at mating
sur fac es of the body (1) and cylinder (21)
shoulder, as this pressurized joint is metalto-metal with no gasket.
15. Soap solution test around cylinder (21)-tobody (1) con nec tion for leakage. Test pres sure should be a minimum of 100 psig (7.0
Barg) at the inlet, or actual service con di tions
if high er.

2. Regulator outlet (downstream) pressure too low.
Possible CausesRemedies
A. Setpoint too low.A. Turn adjusting screw down (CW) to increase setpoint.
B. Regulator undersized.B1. Confi rm by opening bypass valve together with regulator.
B2. Check actual fl ow conditions, resize; if regulator has inadequate capacity, replace with larger unit.
C. Plugged inlet strainer.C. Remove strainer screen and clean; consider leaving screen out.
D. Plugged trim.D. Remove trim and check for plugged holes in piston, or debris in guide
zone or jet zone.
E. Incorrect range spring (turning adjusting

level up to proper level).
F. Too much droop.F1. Review droop expected. (See 2.B1 above.)
F2. Diaphragm setting too low; check setting and raise as required.
F3. Consider composition diaphragm over metal.
F4. Improper jet; make sure jet matches actual fl uid.
G. Restricted diaphragm movement (pressure
plate hitting upstops)
G1. Diaphragm setting too high; check and lower as required.
G2. Ensure no moisture in spring chamber at temperatures below freeze point.
Ensure no dust or debris entering vent opening. If rainwater or debris can
enter, reorient spring chamber.
H. Restricted diaphragm movement
(overstretched diaphragm).
H1. Diaphragm setting too low; check and increase as required.
H2. Ensure no moisture in spring chamber at temperatures below freeze point.
Ensure no dust or debris entering vent opening. If rainwater or debris can
enter, reorient spring chamber.
3. Leakage through the spring chamber vent hole.
Possible CausesRemedies
A. Normal-life diaphragm failure.A. Replace diaphragm.
B. Abnormal short-life diaphragm failure.B1. Can be caused by excessive chattering. See No. 1 to remedy chatter.
B2. Can be caused by corrosive action. Consider alternate diaphragm material.
B3. For composition diaphragms, ensure not subjecting to over-temperature conditions.
B4. Downstream (outlet) pressure buildup occurring that overstresses diaphragms.
C. Pusher plate gasket leaking.C. Replace gasket.
D. Improper (oversized) jet.D. Replace existing piston with new piston with proper jet.
E. Plugged trim.E. Remove trim and check for plugged holes in piston, or debris in guide
zone or jet zone.
4. Excessive pressure downstream.
Possible CausesRemedies
A. Regulator not closing tightly.A1. Overly compressed range spring; i.e. approaching solid height. Use next
higher range spring.
A2. Inspect the seating. Clean and lap metal seat surfaces; replace if lapping
does not remedy. If composition seats are depressed, nicked or embedded
with debris, replace seat disc.
A3. Diaphragm setting too high; check setting.
A4. Inlet pressure too high for orifi ce size; check permissible inlet (Plevel for a given outlet. Change to reduced port if required.

A5. Leakage past pressed in valve seat ring; consider integral seat.
A6. When diaphragm sub-assembly was put into place, the rocker arm got
between the stud collar and the stud nut rather than on top of the stud collar.
B. Downstream block.B. Check system; isolate (block) fl ow at regulator inlet, not outlet. Relocate
regulator if necessary.
C. No pressure relief protection.C. Install safety relief valve, or rupture disc.
D. Restricted diaphragm movement.D1. Diaphragm setting too high; check and lower as required.
D2. Ensure no moisture in spring chamber at temperatures below freeze point.
Ensure no dust or debris entering vent opening. If rainwater or debris can
enter, reorient spring chamber.
