MEGR-167CH/751
GAS REGULATOR
INSTRUCTIONS
Form #912 Rev A
These regulators are designed for air and gas service. Maximum pressures are described on the
individual labels. Operating temperatures are 0° to 160°F.
INSTALLATION:
Install the regulator as close to the instrument or tool it is to service. The words "IN" and
"OUT" are cast in the body to indicate the direction of flow. (NOTE: If a lubricator is to be
used in the system, install it downstream of the regulator.)
OPERATION:
MEGR-167CH/751: Before turning on the supply air, screw out the adjusting screw
until there is no compression on the regulating spring. Turn on
the air supply and turn the adjusting screw until the desired
secondary pressure is reached.
WARNING: The MEGR-167CH/751 is supplied with a 1/4"-18 NPT tapped vent
port that allows for installation of plumbing to capture exhaust gas.
Under no circumstances should this exhaust port be plugged. The
plugging of the vent port will cause damage to the internal
components of the regulator and prevent the regulator from
functioning properly.
