2021.08.19 REV. PRESSURE CONTROLLER OPERATING MANUAL 7
Device Ports
Your pressure controller has been shipped with plastic plugs fitted into its ports. To decrease
the chance of contaminating the flow stream, do not remove these plugs until you are ready
to install the device.
Standard pressure controllers have female inlet and outlet ports. VCR® and other specialty
fittings may have male connections.
•
If you are using a fitting that does not have a face seal, use thread-sealing Teflon tape to
prevent leakage around the port threads, but do not wrap the first two threads. This
will minimize the possibility of getting tape into the flow stream.
• Face seal fittings do not need Teflon tape applied to the threads.
!
Warning: It is not recommended to use pipe dopes or sealants on the process connections
as these compounds can cause permanent damage to the controller should they get
into the flow stream.
Connecting Your Pressure Controller
Connect the controller so that the flow travels in the same direction as the flow arrow, usually
from left to right from the front of the device

Warning: Using the pressure controller above the maximum specified common mode
or burst pressure will result in permanent damage to the internal pressure sensors.
