LThese models are and certified.
The fluid supply system’s main line pressures often exceed the pressure range of the gauge supplied
with regulators 214706, 26C160, and 24A082. Exposing this gauge to excessive pressure can damage
the gauge, causing inaccurate readings and the needle will not return to zero.
This damage is not covered y the Graco warranty.

WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can splash fluid in the eyes or on the skin
and cause serious injury.
DDo not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, ody, glove, or rag.
DFollow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 whenever you: are instructed to relieve the
pressure; stop spraying; clean, check, or service the equipment; and install or clean the fluid
nozzle.
DTighten all the fluid connections efore operating the equipment.
DCheck the hoses, tu es, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot e repaired; replace the entire hose.
INSTRUCTIONS
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture, malfunction, or start unexpectedly and result
in a serious injury.
DThis equipment is for professional use only.
DRead all the instruction manuals, tags, and la els efore operating the equipment.
DUse the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are uncertain a out usage, call your Graco
distri utor.
DDo not alter or modify this equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories.
DCheck the equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
DDo not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component.
DUse fluids that are compati le with the equipment wetted parts. See the Technical Data section of
all the equipment manuals. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.
DNever use 1,1,1--trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocar on solvents, or
fluids containing such solvents in these regulators. In the event that there is a diaphragm failure, a
serious chemical reaction could occur, with the possi ility of explosion.
DRoute the hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not
expose Graco hoses to temperatures a ove 180_F (82_C) or elow --40_F (--40_C).
DNever kink or over end the hoses or use the hoses to pull equipment.
DComply with all applica le local, state, and national fire, electrical, and other safety
regulations.

Installation
Fluid pressure regulators are used for accurate, posi-
tive control of the fluid pressure to spray guns, dis-
pensing valves or atomizing heads.
Regulators installed at circulating line take-offs or
pumps are used to reduce main line pressure and
maintain the desired fluid pressure to the spray gun or
atomizing head.
Before Installing the Fluid Regulator
1. Determine where to locate the regulator.
2. Install a all valve for the regulator inlet and outlet.
3. Install temporary plum ing etween the all
valves.
4. Thoroughly flush the system to remove metal
chips and other contaminants and to check for
leaks.
Installing the Fluid Regulator
1. Remove the temporary plum ing and install one
regulator for each spray gun. See the Dimension-
al Dra ing on page 21 for regulator dimensions.
Mount the regulator in a vertical position, as shown
in Figs. 1 and 2, for the est flow and minimum
pigment settling. The gauge, if used, must e
mounted vertically. If the regulator is mounted
horizontally, an el ow must e used so the gauge
will e vertical.
2. Put sealer on threaded connections, except on the
swiveling end of swivel unions as it interferes with
the swivel action.
3. Flush and test the entire system. Be sure to follow
the flushing procedure on page 8.

DThe new system must e cleaned and tested
thoroughly efore admitting fluid to the regulator
to avoid contaminants clogging or damaging the
regulator.
DAlways use the lowest possi le air and fluid
pressures for your application. High pressures
cause premature spray nozzle and pump wear.
NOTE: Reference num ers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the Figs. and Parts Drawing.
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Read warnings, page 5.
1. Shut off the pump.
2. Close the fluid regulator’s inlet all valve. Refer to
Figs. 1 and 2.
3. Relieve fluid pressure in the fluid regulator y
triggering the spray gun.
Flushing Procedure
DFlush efore changing colors, efore fluid can dry in
the equipment, at the end of the day, efore storing,
and efore repairing equipment.
DFlush at the lowest pressure possi le. Check
connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
DFlush with a fluid that is compati le with the fluid
eing dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
1. Record the pressure adjustment setting of the fluid
regulator efore flushing.
2. Shut off the pump and relieve fluid pressure in the
system y triggering the gun and opening the ack
pressure regulator or other ypass valve.
3. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of
the lowest rated system component. Remove the
gauge if the flushing pressure will exceed the
gauge range.
4. Open the fluid regulator fully.
a. Spring Operated Regulators Only (see Fig. 3).
The regulator can e fully opened in two ways:
DUsing the male end (B) of the regulator
key (24), turn the socket--head adjustment
screw (19) fully counterclockwise. The
pressure setting will e retained.
DUsing the female end (A) of the regulator
key (24), turn the adjustment screw (12)
fully clockwise. You will have to reset
pressure after flushing.
. Air Operated Regulator Only. The regulator
can e fully opened in two ways:
DClose the outlet valve at the air regulator
and open the air regulator ypass valve, to
supply air directly to the fluid regulator; do
not exceed the maximum rated air pres-
sure of the fluid regulator. Pressure setting
of the fluid regulator will e retained using
this method.
DIncrease the air regulator setting to fully
open the fluid regulator. You will have to
reset the fluid regulator’s pressure setting
after flushing.
5. Supply solvent to the system. Set pump to the
lowest possi le pressure, and start pump.
6. Flush until thoroughly clean.

Operation
7. Adjust the fluid regulator to the desired setting.
a. Spring Operated Regulators Only (see Fig. 3).
The regulator can e adjusted in two ways:
DUsing the male end (B) of the regulator
key (24), turn the socket--head adjustment
screw (19) fully clockwise. Verify that the
pressure setting has not changed.
DUsing the female end (A) of the regulator
key (24), turn the adjustment screw (12)
counterclockwise to return to the desired
pressure setting.
. Air Operated Regulator Only. The regulator
can e adjusted in two ways:
DClose the air regulator ypass valve and
open the outlet valve at the air regulator.
Verify that the pressure setting has not
changed.
DAdjust the air regulator to return to the
desired fluid pressure setting.
Regulating Fluid Pressure
Spring Operated Regulator
1. Close the regulator: engage the female end (A) of
the key (24) with the adjusting screw (12) and turn
it counterclockwise to relieve the spring tension.
See Fig. 3.
2. Start the pump and open the fluid regulator’s inlet
all valve to admit fluid to the regulator. See Fig. 1.
3. Turn the key (24) clockwise to increase fluid pres-
sure. See Fig. 3. Adjust for the desired spray
pattern.
NOTE: If using a fluid pressure gauge, reduce the
regulator pressure efore partially relieving pressure in
the gun hose, to ensure a correct gauge reading. Then
increase regulator pressure to the desired setting.
Air Operated Regulator
1. Start the pump and open the fluid regulator’s inlet
all valve to admit fluid to the regulator. See Fig. 2.
2. Increase the air pressure to o tain the desired fluid
pressure. Adjust for the desired spray pattern.
NOTE: If using a fluid pressure gauge, reduce the
regulator pressure efore partially relieving pressure in
the gun hose, to ensure a correct gauge reading. Then
increase regulator pressure to the desired setting.
NOTE: Make sure the air leed hole in the air line
fitting (29) is not plugged. Refer to page 12.
For the est results, use an air regulator with at least a
2 in. (51 mm) diameter diaphragm to control this fluid
regulator.
