1. SAFETY
Always have a fire extinguisher nearby.
9
Never use oxygen or fuel gas to blow soot or dirt from your clothes.
8
DO NOT wear ragged clothes, as sparks can ignite the ragged or loose ends.
8
Secure cylinders to a trolley, wall or post to prevent them from falling.
9
All cylinders should be used and stored in an upright position.
9
Never drop or strike a cylinder. DO NOT use cylinders that have been dented.
8
Cylinder caps should be used when storing or moving cylinders.
9
Empty cylinders should be kept in specified areas and clearly marked 'EMPTY'.
9
Inspect fittings for damage. If any damage is found, replace immediately.
9
Always use reverse flow check valves on torch and flashback arrestors on the regulator.
9
This greatly reduces the possibility of mixing gases in the regulator or hoses. Reverse flow check
valves are an important safety precaution.
Keep all threads and unions clean and free from oil, dirt or grease.
9
Never apply oil or grease to any thread, inlet or outlet connection or cylinder valves.
8
For safety advice regarding gas bottles (oxygen and acetylene) refer to the supplier of the bottles.
9
Make sure bottle keys are in place at all times so that in the event of an emergency the valves can be turned off quickly.
9
LEAKING HOSES CAN KILL. Leak test all connections and valves prior to each use of the equipment.
9
Remember at all times
9
At no time may you interchange parts contained in this kit with those of other manufacturers. Only Sealey replacement items should be
9
used.
The regulator in this kit has no user-serviceable parts. All repairs/calibrations must only be undertaken by a BCGA approved service
9
agent.
2. INTRODUCTION
Twin gauge regulator complies to BS EN ISO 2503 with bull nose adaptor and 3/8"BSP hose union. Displays bottle pressure and
working pressure for oxygen.
3. ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Danger of explosion. All parts which come into contact with oxygen, including hands and tools, must be free from oil or
‰
grease. If grease or oil is found on a cylinder, discontinue its use immediately and contact your gas supplier.
3.1. PREPARING THE CYLINDER
3.1.1. Make sure that the cylinder to be used is safe and properly secured as noted in the safety precautions.
3.1.2. Whilst standing to one side or to the rear of the cylinder 'crack' the cylinder valve. 'Cracking' is to quickly open and close the valve
allowing gas to escape and thus clear the valve of any dust, dirt or foreign bodies.
3.2. CONNECTING THE GAS REGULATOR TO THE CYLINDER
NOTE: Pressure regulators should be treated as precision instruments and should not be jarred or knocked.
3.2.1. Function of the regulator.
Fitted to the outlets of the gas cylinder valves, the pressure regulator reduces the pressure of the gas from cylinder pressure to the
constant lower pressure required for the operation of the equipment. The left hand gauge indicates the pressure in the cylinder.
The right hand gauge indicates the pressure of the gas being delivered to the torch. Pressure reduction within the regulator occurs in
two stages.
3.2.2. Use only oxygen regulators to control the oxygen supply. Switching regulators from non-oxygen to oxygen use can introduce
contaminants to the system. Ensure that the valve is always clean and completely free of grease or oil. Use a dry lint free cloth
to thoroughly clean the regulator before use. Never use an oxygen regulator for other gases.
3.2.3. Attach oxygen regulator to the appropriate cylinder and ensure the inlet filter is in place and is not blocked or contaminated.
Do not use any form of jointing paste or tape between regulator and cylinder valve.
3.2.4. Before attaching the regulator, wipe the fittings with a clean dry lint free cloth. Screw the union at the base of the regulator to the
appropriate cylinder by hand. Ensure that the regulator is correctly orientated so as to be seen properly by the operator in use.
