FAIRCHILD MODEL HPD
High Pressure Regulator
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions
Introduction
The Fairchild HPD series pressure regulator is
a precision engineered, diaphragm sensing,
pressure reducing regulator designed to
regulate pressure of speciality gases and
liquids. This single stage,low to medium flow
capacity pressure regulator will fullfil pressure
control requirements in analytical, medical and
laboratory instrumentation. The 316 stainless
steel construction and engineered polymer
seals permit the use of both corrossive and non
corrosive media.
Features
Three polymer seat materials provide
•
media compatility and supply pressure
capability up to 6,000 psig.
Inconel diaphragm for corrosion
•
resistance and long life.
Five outlet pressrue ranges provide
•
optimum sensitivity
20 micron inlet filter
•
0.06 Cv flow coefficient
•
Relieving and non relieving designs
•
Tamperproof adjustment option

Installation
You can mount the pressure regulator in any
position without affecting it's operation.
Clean all pipe fittings to remove contaminates
before installation.
Apply a minimum amount of pipe compound or
Teflon thread tape to the male threads of the fitting.
Start with the second thread back and work away
from the end of the fitting to avoid thread tape or
compound from contaminating the pressure
regulator.
The Inlet and Outlet are labeled "IN" and "OUT".
Tighten all connections securely. Avoid undersized
fittings that will limit the flow through the pressure
regulator
.
For more information, see Figure 1.
CAUTION
limit the supply pressure from the downstream
piping system. Employ properly sized pressure
limiting device to protect the piping system
downstream of the pressure regulator from the
effects of the supply pressure in the event of a
pressure regulator failure.
- Do not rely on the pressure regulator to

FAIRCHILD MODEL HPD
Pressure Regulator
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions
Panel Mounting
To panel mount the HPD, the knob must first be removed. To remove the knob, first using a small
screwdriver, pry up the insert in the top to expose the range screw and jam nut. Remove the jam nut and
then unscrew the knob from the range screw. Insert the HPD pressure regulator through the 1 3/8" hole in
the panel and fix it in place with the retaining nut. Reinstall the knob on the range screw and fix it in place
with the jam nut. Reinstall the knob cover
Knob adjustment
The knob on the HPD pressure regulator can be adjusted to limit the range of the output pressure. First
assure the pressure regulator has the intended operating supply pressure applied to the unit. Remove the
cover from the top of the knob and loosen the jam nut on the range screw. Insert a 3/16" hex wrench in the
range screw and adjust the pressure regulator to the desired maximum range. (Note, do not set the
pressure regulator to more than 110% of the rated range.) Adjust the knob so that it stops against the
bonnet. Tighten the jam nut to lock the knob to the range screw. Reinstall the knob cover.
