Operation
WARNING
Do not exceed the specific pressure range for each valve.
Changing the set pressure
 Remove the wire lock seal.
 Remove the anti tamper cap.
 Unlock the lock nut on the set screw.
 Now the set screw can be turned.
 Turning the set screw clockwise increases the load and set pressure.
 Turning the set screw counter clockwise decreases the load and set pressure.

Maintenance
Annual maintenance is recommended under normal use.
More frequent maintenance may be required in heavy duty service.
Required tools for maintenance
 vise, to place the PRV in a secure and steady position
 wrench 10 mm
 wrench 13 mm
 wrench 22 mm
 pincers in various (small) sizes to take out the O-rings
 PRV2 O-ring cone (TF-4100)
 PRV cover socket (AST001191)
 PRV spring housing socket (AST001142)
 PRV2 O-ring guide (AST001164)
Pressure venting
 If no other means of venting pressure is provided, it is possible to turn the adjustment screw counter
clockwise.
Disassembly precautions
 Do not try to unscrew the spring housing before taking out the set screw first.
Disassembly
 Break the wire-lock seal.
 Remove the anti-tamper cap cover.
 Unlock locking nut.
 Turn adjustment screw fully counter clockwise.
 Loosen the spring housing.
 Remove spring housing, set spring, spring guide (2x).
 Remove valve housing and valve.
 Remove seat.
Inspection of disassembled parts
With all parts taken out it is now possible to inspect the components for damage.
If there is any damage or significant wear the valve and seat must be replaced.
Besides the valve/seat combination there is also the valve/valve housing combination. Make sure the
valve is smoothly guided through the valve housing.
Assembly
Follow the instructions for disassembly in reverse order to assemble the valve. Use system appropriate
lubricant.
Recommended torque
 Spring housing to body 50-55 N·m (445 in.·lb)
 Anti-tamper cap to spring housing 30 N·m (265 in.·lb)

Troubleshooting
Problem: The valve is relieving even though the inlet pressure is below the set point.
Cause: A damaged seat O-ring, valve or seat.
Solution: Replace for new seat O-ring, clean the valve and/or seat and check if it is closed. If not than
replace.
Problem: Leakage around the spring housing.
Cause: A damaged O-ring or insufficient torque on the spring housing.
Solution: Replace or tighten the spring housing.
Problem: The valve does not open, not even at pressures higher than maximum set pressure.
Cause: Valve is installed backwards or set spring is blocked.
Solution: Check the installed position of the PRV and the check set spring range. If the valve is installed
properly and the set spring range is adequate for the required set pressure, contact your
authorized Swagelok sales and service representative.
