WARNING  
INJECTION HAZARD  
Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely  
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also  
cause serious injury.  
D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate  
surgical treatment.  
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.  
D Keep your hands away from the end of the drain valve when opening it.  
D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.  
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,  
checking or servicing the equipment.  
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 before removing the regulator’s adjusting knob.  
D Do not pressurize the system when the fluid regulator’s adjusting knob is removed.  
D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.  
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.  
Do not repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.  
D Use only Graco approved hoses. Do not remove the spring guard that is used to help protect the  
hose from rupture caused by kinks or bends near the couplings.  
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD  
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,  
inhaled, or swallowed.  
D Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.  
D Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,  
state and national guidelines.  
D Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and  
solvent manufacturer.

Installation  
Fluid pressure regulators are used for accurate, posi-  
tive control of the fluid pressure to spray guns, dis-  
Installing the Fluid Regulator  
1. Remove the temporary plumbing and install one  
regulator for each spray gun. A mounting stud,  
washers, and locknut are provided for mounting  
the regulator either from the bottom or side.  
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,  
dispensing valve, or atomizing head.  
2. Put sealer on threaded connections, except on  
swivel unions as it interferes with the swivel action.  
Before Installing the Fluid Regulator  
3. Connect the fluid supply line to the 3/8 npt(f) inlet  
of the fluid regulator. Connect the fluid line be-  
tween the gun and the regulator’s 1/4 npt(f) outlet  
of choice. MAKE SURE that the direction of fluid  
flow agrees with the IN and OUT markings on the  
regulator body.  
1. Determine placement of the fluid regulator in  
system.  
2. Install a ball valve for inlet and outlet of the regula-  
tor.  
3. Install temporary plumbing between the ball  
valves.  
4. Flush and test the entire system.  
4. Thoroughly flush the system to remove metal  
chips and other contaminants and to check for  
leaks.

Operation  
6. Open the drain valve (required in your system),  
Pressure Relief Procedure  
having a container ready to catch the drainage.  
WARNING  
INJECTION HAZARD  
7. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to  
spray again.  
The system pressure must be manually  
relieved to prevent the system from  
starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid  
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely  
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved  
after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the  
tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve  
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear  
the tip or hose.  
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:  
Adjusting the Regulator  
D are instructed to relieve the pressure,  
The fluid pressure regulator controls pressure down-  
stream from its outlet.  
D stop spraying,  
To adjust the fluid regulator, first, back the knob out  
until there is no spring pressure. Then, turn the knob  
clockwise to increase pressure.  
D check or service any of the system equipment,  
D or install or clean the spray tip.  
NOTE: If you are using an accessory fluid pressure  
gauge, relieve the spray gun line when reducing pres-  
sure to ensure a correct gauge reading.  
1. Lock the gun trigger safety.  
2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in  
your system).  
Adjust the pump air pressure and the fluid regulator for  
the best spraying combination. In a circulating system,  
also adjust the back pressure valve.  
3. Unlock the gun trigger safety.  
Record all the settings for future reference. The valve  
cylinder (7) has exterior markings (set points 1 to 8) for  
repeat settings.  
4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a  
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve  
pressure.  
5. Lock the gun trigger safety.

Maintenance  
Cleaning  
WARNING  
When changing fluids or colors, the regulator should  
be disassembled and cleaned. Regular cleaning and  
inspection, and lubrication of the piston (15) and piston  
packing (10) are necessary to keep the fluid regulator  
working properly.  
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD  
To reduce the risk of serious bodily inju-  
ry, including fluid injection or splashing in  
the eyes or on the skin, always follow  
the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 before  
adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or removing the regu-  
lator from the system.  
1. Relieve all the air and fluid pressure in the system.  
2. Remove the regulator from the system.  
Never pressurize the system with the fluid regula-  
tor adjusting knob removed.  
3. Disassemble the regulator, referring to the Parts  
Drawing on page 9. Clean and inspect all parts.  
Never completely remove the adjusting knob when  
system pressure is present.  
CAUTION  
Use special care when handling the hard carbide  
portions of the piston (13) and seat (12). Damage will  
cause poor operation and leakage.  
Flushing  
D Flush before changing colors, before fluid can dry in  
the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing,  
and before repairing equipment.  
Repairing  
D Flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check  
Normally, only the ball support (21), seat (20) and  
piston packing (10) will ever need replacement. Repair  
Kit 220139 is available to replace these parts. See  
page 9.  
connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.  
D Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid  
being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.  
1. Lubricate the piston packing (10), piston (15), and  
spring locater (11) with lithium base grease.  
1. Record the pressure adjustment setting of the  
regulator before flushing.  
2. Place the washer (19) over the pointed end of the  
piston (15).  
2. Shut off the pump and relieve fluid pressure in the  
system by triggering the gun and opening the back  
pressure valve or other bypass valve.  
3. Place the packing (10), with its lips facing down,  
over the pointed end of the piston (15) and against  
the washer (19).  
3. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of  
the lowest rated system component.  
4. Insert the piston (15) into the bottom of the cylin-  
der (7) and gently work it into place.  
4. Open the fluid regulator by turning the adjusting  
knob (6) fully clockwise.  
5. Reassemble the remaining parts in reverse order  
of disassembly. Torque the valve seat (20) into the  
housing to 175 to 200 in-lb (20 to 22 NSm). Over  
tightening could break off the hex portion of the  
seat.  
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 return to the desired  
fluid pressure setting.  
NOTE: Do not allow paint or solvent to set in the  
system for a long time. Fluid could dry on the piston,  
causing leakage at the piston packing. If leakage  
occurs, disassemble and clean the regulator.
