These Instructions are for experienced operators. If you are not familiar with the principles of operation and safe
practice for oxy-fuel gas equipment, we urge you to read our booklet “Precautions and Safe Practices for Welding,
Cutting and Heating”, Form 2035. Do not attempt to install or operate this equipment until you have read and fully
understand these Instructions. If you do not fully understand these Instructions, contact your supplier for further
information.
Be sure this information reaches the operator.
You can get extra copies through your supplier.
INSTALLATION
As supplied, Oxweld Regulation Panels are ready to
be permanently flush-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 specific Regulation Panel
Diagram for hole spacing and physical size).
NOTE: Install panels in vertical position, gas inlets
up.
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
of the 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.
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 first 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 finally 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
for nicks and scratches. Remake the connection(s)
and retest. Do not try to operate until all connections
are gas-tight.
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.
OUTLET CONNECTIONS
(2) Outlet Panels - P/N 2219101, 2224539 and
2225202 - Attach 3/8 diameter fuel gas hose with
B size (CGA No. 023) fitting to brass fuel gas
outlet nipple then attach 1/2 diameter oxygen hose
with C size (CGA No. 024) fitting to oxygen outlet
nipple.
(3) Outlet Panels-P/N 2116395, 2224540 and
2225203 - Attach 3/8 diameter fuel gas hose with
B size (CGA No. 023) fitting to brass fuel gas
outlet nipple then attach 3/8 diameter oxygen hose
with B size (CGA No. 022) fitting to oxygen outlet
nipple.
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.
2
3. Release the pressure adjusting screws by turning them 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 off
the nozzle.
MAINTENANCE
Refer to the individual Maintenance Instructions found
in the appropriate instructions for the component parts
of the regulation panels. These instructions are supplied with every panel. Refer to the list below and contact your Oxweld supplier if additional copies are
needed.
