To test, after installation of new parts:
1. Attach the regulator to a full small tank of acetylene, and tighten the inlet connection nut with a wrench. Back out the regu‑
lator pressure‑adjusting screw as far as it will go. Then slowly open the tank valve. Place a lm of soapy water across the
regulator outlet. If the lm bubbles and breaks, there is leakage past the valve seat in the regulator.
2. Holding your thumb over the regulator outlet, turn in the pressure‑adjusting screw and test for leaks around the joint between
cap and body, and at the two vent holes in the cap.
3. If either of the above tests discloses leakage, disassemble the regulator, inspect all parts, and wipe them with a clean, lint‑free
cloth. Then reassemble and repeat the leak testing. If any leak persists, return the regulator to your dealer for repair.
