Technical data
Fluid: Compressed air
Maximum pressure: 28 bar
Regulator type: Relieving or non-relieving diaphragm
Operating temperature:
Gauge: -20° to +65°C
No gauge: -20° to +80°C
Air supply must be dry enough to avoid ice formation
at temperatures below +2°C.
Main port size: 1/2", 3/4", 1"
Main port thread form: PTF or ISO G
Gauge ports:
1⁄8 PTF with PTF main ports
Rc1/8 with ISO G main ports
Outlet pressure adjustment ranges:**
0.1 to 3.5 bar
0.2 to 8.0 bar
0.7 to 17 bar (1/2" only)
** Outlet pressure can be adjusted to pressures in excess of,
and less than, those specied. Do not use these units to
control pressures outside of the specied ranges.
Typical ow with 7 bar inlet pressure, 4 bar set
pressure, and a 1 bar droop from set:
1/2" ports: 60 dm3/s , 3/4" ports: 80 dm3/s,
1" ports: 100 dm3/s
Materials:
Body: Zinc
Bonnet: Aluminum
Valve: Brass and nitrile
Valve seat: Brass
Elastomers: Nitrile
Bottom plug:
1/2" ports: Glass lled Nylon
3/4" and 1" ports: Aluminium
Replacement Items

1/2" Ported Regulators:
Relieving ............... 20AG-X4-100
Non-relieving ....... 20AG-4-100
3/4" and 1" Ported Regulators:
Relieving ............... 20AG-X8-100
Non-relieving ....... 20AG-8-100
Installation
1. Shut off air pressure. Install regulator in air line
• with air ow in direction of arrow on body
• upstream of lubricators and cycling valves
• as close as possible to the device being serviced
• at any angle
2. Connect piping to proper ports using pipe thread
sealant on male threads only. Do not allow
sealant to enter interior of regulator.
3. Install a pressure gauge or plug the gauge ports.
Gauge ports can also be used as additional
outlets for regulated air.
4. Install a Norgren general purpose lter upstream
of the regulator.
Adjustment
1. Before applying inlet pressure to regulator, turn
adjustment (1) counterclockwise to remove all
force on regulating spring (6).
2. Apply inlet pressure, then turn adjustment (1)
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure setting.
3. Always approach the desired pressure from a
lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a
lower setting, rst reduce to some pressure less
than that desired, then bring up to the desired
pressure.
Note
With non-relieving regulators, make pressure reductions with
some air ow in the system. If made under no ow (dead-
end) conditions, the regulator will trap the over-pressure in
the downstream line.
4. Tighten lock nut (2) to lock pressure setting.
Disassembly
1. Regulator can be disassembled without removal
from air line.
2. Shut off inlet pressure. Reduce pressure in inlet
and outlet lines to zero.
3. Turn adjustment (1) counterclockwise to remove
all force on regulating spring (6).
4. Disassemble in general accordance with the
item numbers on exploded view. Do not remove
valve seat (14) unless replacement is necessary.
Remove o-ring (8) using a hook shaped tool,
taking care not to damage o-ring seating
surfaces and valve seat.

Cleaning
1. Clean parts with warm water and soap.
2. Rinse and dry parts. Blow out internal passages
in body with clean, dry compressed air.
3. Inspect parts. Replace those found to be damaged.
Assembly
1. Lubricate o-rings, adjusting screw threads and tip
(1), center bore in bottom plug (9), valve stem and
body (13), with a light coat of good quality o-ring
grease.
2. Assemble the unit as shown on the exploded view.

Warning
These products are intended for use in industrial compressed air systems only.
Do not use these products where pressures and temperatures can exceed those
listed under »Technical features/data«. Before using these products with luids
other than those speciied, for non-industrial applications, life-support systems
or other applications not within published speciications, consult IMI Precision
Engineering, Norgren Ltd.
Through misuse, age, or malfunction, components used in luid power systems
can fail in various modes. The system designer is warned to consider the failure
modes of all component parts used in luid power systems and to provide
adequate safeguards to prevent personal injury or damage to equipment in the
event of such failure.
System designers must provide a warning to end users in the system
instructional manual if protection against a failure mode cannot be adequately
provided. System designers and end users are cautioned to review speciic
warnings found in instruction sheets packed and shipped with these products.
