1.1 Pre-Installation Requirements
1.1.1 These products are intended for use with industrial compressed air systems only.
CAUTION
1.1.2 Clean all pipe lines to remove dirt and scale prior to installation.
NOTE
CAUTION
1.1.3 A filter (40 micron or less is recommended) should be installed ahead of the regulator to prevent foreign matter in the air line f
1.2 Panel Mounting
1.2.1 Install regulator in air line; body is fitted with a 1/8” NPT/BSP for inlet and outlet connections. The regulator can be
mounted in any position without affecting its operation. Apply a small amount of compound to the male threads only.
1.2.2 Inlet and outlet connections are labeled and should be tightly secured. Make sure all connections are right and that the
exhaust vents in the bottom and side of the regulator are not blocked.
1.2.3 For panel mounting, the panel mounting nut should be tightened with a torque of 60 in. lbs.
Contact factory prior to use with other gases.
Failures attributable to contamination are not covered by the warranty.
This instrument vents to atmosphere. The use of supply gas other than air may create a hazardous
environment
.
Repeated cycling of supply pressure may cause increased leakage and premature product failure.

3. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
1.3.1 Install supplied O-rings into IN port and OUT port counterbores
before mounting to manifold.
1.3.2 Venting will occur through center hole of mounting plate;
Prevent obstruction for proper venting.

2.1 Operation
2.1.1 Turn on the supply pressure slowly and then turn the adjusting knob until the desired output pressure is reached.
NOTE
Since this instrument utilizes an air bleed servo-control action, a slight sound of escaping air may
be heard in the area of the housing. This is normal and is required for the precise control which
this regulator offers.
3.1 Repairs
3.1.1 In the event of unit failure, the PRG98 can be returned to the factory through point of purchase for repair during the
warranty period.
3.1.2 All units returned for repair must be authorized prior to receipt at the factory. Contact a representative at the point of
purchase to receive a Return Authorization Number.
