WARNING
Do not use PTFE tape on pipe threads. Such use
could cause a hazardous condition due to loss of
grounding continuity. Also, if pieces of the tape break
off, the function of the regulator could be affected.
The installations shown in Fig. 1 are only a guide for
selecting and installing a circulating or direct system;
they are not actual system designs. Contact your
Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system
to suit your needs.
NOTE: Before you install the regulator, thoroughly
flush the system to remove metal chips and other
contaminants. A fluid filter (D) of 60-mesh or finer
should always be installed upstream of the regulator.
Connections
Install the fluid regulator (G) in the spray gun fluid
supply line (F), as shown in the typical installation
drawings on this page. Connect only one spray gun
or dispensing valve to each fluid regulator.
Apply pipe sealant to the male pipe threads, and
connect the fluid supply line (F) to the fluid regulator’s
3/8 npt(f) inlet. Connect the line from the gun (J) to the
fluid regulator’s 3/8 npt(f) outlet. Install the gauge or
plug into the 1/4 npt(f) gauge port.
Make sure the direction of fluid flow agrees with the IN
and OUT markings on the regulator body.
Flush the System
The regulator was tested in lightweight oil. Flush the
entire system with a solvent compatible with the fluid
being dispensed. Then test the system.
Mounting Bracket
A Mounting Bracket is available for mounting the
regulator. Order Part 222515 for the bracket and
mounting hardware.

Installation
Grounding the System
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the fluid pressure
regulator, ground the system as
explained below.
Pump: Use a ground wire and clamp. Loosen the
grounding lug locknut (W) and washer (X). Insert one
end of a 1.5 mm@(12 ga) minimum ground wire (Y)
into the slot in lug (Z) and tighten the locknut securely.
Connect the other end of the wire to a true earth
ground. Order Part 237569 Ground Wire and Clamp.

Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses.
Heaters, if used: See the heater instruction manual.
Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Spray gun: Ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.
Object being sprayed: Follow your local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on
a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard,
which interrupts the grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from
starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the
skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of
an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you
DAre instructed to relieve the pressure
DStop spraying
DCheck or service any of the system equipment
DInstall or clean the spray tips

8 308647
Operation
Adjusting the System Pressure
CAUTION
DThe new system must be cleaned and tested
thoroughly before admitting fluid to the regulator
to avoid contaminants clogging or damaging the
regulator.
DAlways use the lowest possible air and fluid
pressures for your application. High pressures
can cause premature spray tip, regulator, and
pump wear.
NOTES:
DThe fluid pressure regulator controls pressure
downstream from its outlet.
DIf you are using an accessory fluid pressure gauge
(H in Fig. 1), relieve the spray gun line pressure
after you reduce the regulator pressure to ensure a
correct gauge reading.
1. Make a note of the proper way to adjust pressure,
from the following descriptions:
DOn a spring-operated regulator, turn the
adjusting screw (10) counterclockwise to
decrease pressure and clockwise to increase
pressure to the spray gun or extruder gun.
DOn an air-operated regulator, increase supply
air pressure to increase fluid pressure.
Decrease supply air pressure to decrease fluid
pressure. Supply air up to 100 psi (0.7 MPa,
7 bar). See the chart on page 20 for air versus
fluid pressure.
NOTE: Air-operated regulator Models 238893 and
238894 are provided with an air supply regulator
(31) to control the fluid set pressure. For
increased sensitivity in pressure set point
performance, an alternative air regulator, such as
Part 206197, may be used. This alternative air
regulator uses a sensitive diaphragm design to
maintain a higher, more accurate air pressure
setting.
2. Adjust the pump air pressure and fluid regulator for
the desired spray pattern. Use the lowest possible
air and fluid pressures for your application. For
optimum performance, the inbound fluid pressure
should be at least 500 psi (3.4 MPa, 34 bar) above
the regulated fluid pressure.
NOTE: Do not exceed a 2000 psi (14 MPa,
138 bar) pressure drop between the regulator inlet
and outlet. Excessive pressure drop will cause
premature regulator component wear.
For example: With 3500 psi (24.5 MPa, 245 bar)
to the regulator, the minimum regulated outlet
pressure would be 1500 psi (10.5 MPa, 105 bar).
3. In a circulating system, also adjust the back
pressure valve (K).
4. Record all the settings for future reference.
Cleaning the Regulator
Do not allow fluid to settle in the system.
Flush the regulator whenever the rest of the system is
flushed (see page 9). Before you flush the system,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7,
then completely decrease the regulated fluid pressure.
See step 1 in Adjusting the System Pressure, at left.
Before you remove the regulator for thorough cleaning
and inspection, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
on page 7. Then remove the regulator, clean it, and
inspect all parts.

Operation
Flushing
DFlush before changing colors, before fluid can dry in
the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing,
and before repairing equipment.
DFlush at the lowest pressure possible. Check
connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
DFlush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid
being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
1. Record the pressure adjustment setting of the fluid
regulator before flushing.
2. Shut off the pump and relieve fluid pressure in the
system by triggering the gun and opening the back
pressure regulator or other bypass 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: Open the
fluid regulator by turning the adjusting screw
(10) fully clockwise.
b. Air Operated Regulator Only: Increase 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 possible pressure, and start pump.
6. Flush until thoroughly clean.
7. Adjust the fluid regulator to the desired setting.
a. Spring Operated Regulators Only: Turn the
adjustment screw (10) counterclockwise to
return to the desired pressure setting.
b. Air Operated Regulator Only: Adjust the air
regulator to return to the desired fluid pressure
setting.
