ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
1. Before installing, be sure pipe ends are reamed and threads are cut to size.
Blow out lines to remove all loose scale and other foreign matter that can
damage valve seat.
2. Install regulator in the line with the arrow on the body pointing in the direction of
flow.
3. Connect
1
⁄4" or
3
⁄8" equalizer pipe as shown from the diaphragm chamber
to a point in the reduced pressure line not less than 18" but preferably a
greater distance from the regulator.
4. Install a needle valve in the control line. If uneven pressure should cause the
regulator to pulsate, its action can be stabilized by throttling the valve.
15" diameter chambers are standardly furnished with a pressure relief valve,
factory set at 60psi to protect the chamber from excessive pressure. A drain
line should be attached to the relief valve to channel any potential discharge to
a safe place of disposal.

⁄8" equalizer pipe as shown from the diaphragm chamber to a point
in the reduced pressure line or to the special tapping provided in the low pressure
side of the regulator body. This tapping gives you a convenient, economical means
of attaching the equalizer line, facilitating installation and eliminating fittings.

tor to pulsate, its action can be stabilized by throttling the valve.

ment. In the event of such defects within the warranty period, the Company will, at its option, replace
or recondition the product without charge.
THE WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN IS GIVEN EXPRESSLY AND IS THE ONLY WARRANTY
GIVEN BY THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT. THE COMPANY MAKES NO OTHER

or consequential damages, including without limitation, lost profits or the cost of repairing or replacing
other property which is damaged if this product does not work properly, other costs resulting from labor
charges, delays, vandalism, negligence, fouling caused by foreign material, damage from adverse water
conditions, chemical, or any other circumstances over which the Company has no control. This warranty
shall be invalidated by any abuse, misuse, misapplication, improper installation or improper maintenance
or alteration of the product.
Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some States do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore the above limitations may
not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights

TO ADJUST: When diaphragm is above the line, turn adjusting collar from left to right
to increase the reduced pressure - opposite to decrease reduced pressure.
When diaphragm is below the line, turn adjusting collar from right to left to increase
the reduced pressure - opposite to decrease the reduced pressure.
A steel rod is provided to turn adjusting collar.
Tighten packing nut lightly if leaks occur around stem. Repack stem when light nut
pressure cannot stop leak. Do not tighten packing nut enough to bind stem. This
causes uneven regulation and excessive stem wear.
TO CLEAN: Inspect or replace worn valve disc, disconnect control pipe and unscrew
bonnet from valve body using blunt tool and hammer on bonnet lugs. Lift entire top-
work clear of body.
Anytime a reducing valve is adjusted, the use of a pressure gauge is recommended
to verify correct pressure setting.

Installation
LF127W may be installed with diaphragm above or
below the line.
When a reducing valve is used, it makes a closed system; therefore, a pressure
relief valve must be installed in the downstream side of the regulator to protect
equipment against excess pressure which is built up by the expansion of water
from the domestic hot water supply tank or heater.
