SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
These Safety Precautions are for your protection. They summarize precautionary information from the references listed in Additional Safety
Information section. Before performing any installation or operating
procedures, be sure to read and follow the safety precautions listed
below as well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets, labels,
etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can result in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS - Some welding,
cutting and gouging processes are noisy and require
ear protection. Hot metal can cause skin burns and
heat rays may injure eyes. Training in the proper
use of the processes and equipment is essential to
prevent accidents. Also:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any
work area, even if welding helmets, face shields, or
goggles are also required.
2. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve shirt,
cuess trousers, high-topped shoes, and a welding helmet or cap
for hair protection, to protect against hot sparks and hot metal. A
ameproof apron may also be desirable as protection against radiated heat and sparks.
3. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trousers cus,
or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned, and open
pockets eliminated from the front of clothing.
4. Protect other personnel from hot sparks with a suitable non-ammable partition or curtains.
5. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding.
Chipped slag may be hot and can travel considerable distances.
Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS - Heat from a ame can act as an ignition
source. Hot slag or sparks can also cause res or explosions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from
the work area or completely cover the materials with a
protective non-ammable covering. Combustible materials include wood, cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels,
solvents, paints and coatings, paper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in oors or
wall openings and cause a hidden smoldering re on the oor below.
Make certain that such openings are protected from hot sparks and
metal.
3. Do not weld, cut, or perform any other hot work on materials, containers, or piping until it has been completely cleaned so that no
substances on the material can produce ammable or toxic vapors.
Do not do hot work on closed containers. They may explode.
4. Have re extinguishing equipment handy for instant use, such as a
garden hose, a pail of water or sand, or portable re extinguisher. Be
sure you are trained in its use.
5. After completing operations, inspect the work area to be sure that
there are no hot sparks or hot metal which could cause a later re.
Use re watchers when necessary.
6. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B, “Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Processes”, which is available from
the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269.
FUMES AND GASES - Fumes and gases, particularly in conned spaces,
can cause discomfort or injury. Do not breathe fumes or gases from
welding or cutting, Therefore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in
the work area by natural or mechanical ventilation
means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge on materials such
as galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, zinc, lead,
beryllium, or cadmium unless positive mechanical
ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes and
gases from these materials.
2. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation while operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not adequate. Stop work
at once and take necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work
area. Do not continue to operate if physical discomfort persists.
3. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 listed below for specic ventilation
recommendations.
4. WARNING: This product, when used for welding or cutting,
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE - Faulty or improperly maintained equipment, such as torches, hoses and regulators, can result in poor work,
but even more important, it can cause injury or death through res.
1. Always have qualied personnel perform the installation,
2. Keep all oxy-fuel equipment free of grease or oil. Grease,
oil, and other similar combustible materials, when ignited, can burn
violently in the presence of oxygen.
3. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep equipment away
from heat and wet conditions, oil or grease, corrosive atmospheres
and inclement weather.
4. Keep all safety devices in position and in good repair.
5. Use equipment for its intended purpose. Do not modify it in any
manner.
GAS CYLINDER HANDLING - Gas cylinders, if mishandled, can rupture
or explode violently. Sudden rupture of a cylinder, valve or relief
device can injure or kill you. Therefore:
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper
instructions for mounting the regulator to the gas cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or strap to
suitable hand trucks, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never secure
cylinders to work tables or xtures where they may become part of
an electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have the valve protection cap in place on top of the cylinder if no regulators is installed.
Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand trucks. Avoid rough
handling of cylinders.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, or ame of a welding, cutting, or gouging operation. Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1, “Precautions for
Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders:, which is available
from the Compressed Gas Association, 1235 Jeerson Davis Highway,
Arlington, VA 22202.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION - For more information on safe
practices for oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment, ask your
distributor for a copy of “Precautions and Safe Practices for
Gas Welding, Cutting, and Heating”, Form 2035. Gas apparatus
safety guidelines are also available on video cassettes from your

INSTALLATION
As supplied, Oxweld Regulation Panels are ready to be
permanently ush-mounted to a wall or column. Bolt
holes in the steel frame are conveniently located to simplify placement of the panel. Regulation panels should
be mounted securely by fastening the frame to the wall
or steel column. (See specic Regulation Panel Diagram
for hole spacing and physical size).
NOTE: Install panels in vertical position, gas inlets up.
WARNING
PIPE FUEL GAS RELIEF VALVE TO EXHAUST OUT OF
BUILDING AS NOTED IN REGULATION PANEL DIAGRAMS.
1. If mounting to a wall of masonry construction, use
1/2-in. bolts or lag screws. Thread the bolts into expansion anchors placed in holes drilled in the wall.
2. If mounting to a steel column, fabricate horizontal
braces wide enough to extend to the outside edges
ofthe panel. Permanently mount the braces to the
column by securely welding or bolting in place then
attach the panel with 1/2-in. machine hardware.
CONNECTIONS
INLET CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Before beginning, make sure all inlet and outlet ball
valves are closed and pressure adjusting screws on
regulators are backed out all the way. Regulation
Panels are supplied with 3/4" NPT oxygen and fuel
gas inlet ball valves. For proper installation, permanently attach mill piping to gas service inlets. See Figures 2 and 3.

2225202 -Attach 3/8" diameter fuel gas hose with
"B" size (CGA No. 023) tting to brass fuel gas outlet
nipple then attach 1/2" diameter oxygen hose with
"C" size (CGA No. 024) tting to oxygen outlet nipple.
(3) Outlet Panels-PiN 2116395, 2224540 and
2225203-Attach 3/8" diameter fuel gas hose with
"B" size (CGA No. 023) tting to brass fuel gas outlet
nipple then attach 3/8" diameter oxygen hose with
"B" size (CGA No. 022) tting to oxygen outlet nipple.
NOTE: Make certain hose lengths do not exceed
recommended maximum lengths for the
torch being used.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
All connections should be thoroughly tested for leaks after the panel is rst hooked up, and at regular intervals
thereafter. After all connections have been made, make
sure all valves downstream are closed. Then turn in the
regulator pressure-adjusting screw until the oxygen delivery-pressure gauge registers 50 psi, the fuel gas delivery-pressure gauge registers 10 psi. Using Leak Test Solution suitable for oxygen service, such as P/N 998771 (8 oz.
container) check for leaks at all connections. Bubbling at
any point indicates leakage and the leaking connection
should be tightened. If this does not stop the leakage,
close the appropriate inlet valve, open the downstream
valve to remove all pressure from the line, and nally
release the regulator pressure-adjusting screw by turning it counterclockwise. Then, break the leaking connection, wipe metal seating surfaces with a clean, dry cloth,
and examine them or nicks and scratches. Remake the
connection(s) and retest. Do not try to operate until all
connections are gas-tight.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To Increase Delivery Pressure
Turn the pressure-adjusting screw to the right (clockwise). To decrease delivery pressure, turn the pressure
adjusting screw to the left (counterclockwise). The torch
and regulation panel ball valves should be open whenever adjusting delivery pressure. If they are not open,
true work-pressure reading on the delivery-pressure
gauge cannot be obtained.
To Release Pressure
If work is to be stopped for a half-hour or more, release
all pressure from the regulators as follows:
1. Close the inlet ball valves.
2. Open the torch valves until the regulator gauge
hands return to the pins.
4
3. Release the pressure adjusting screws by turning
thern to the left (clockwise) until they turn freely.
4. Close the torch valves. Always follow the steps outlined above before removing a regulator from a station. If the regulator is to be out of service for several
days, or longer, turn in the pressure adjusting screw
enough to move the seat o the nozzle.
