Fitting & Care

  • Install in the flow direction marked on the regulator.
  • Leak-test every joint with approved solution after installation.

Common Mistakes

  • Removing the screen to cure low pressure, exposing the valve seat.
  • Using sealing tape loosely so fragments reach the screen.

When Gas Regulator & Valve Inlet Filter Screen Is Not the Right Choice
