WARNING
7.  Separate the remainder of the diaphragm unit 
parts. Take the lock nut (key 31) off of the pusher 
post (key 10). Slide off the lock washer (key 28), 
lower spring seat (key 8), diaphragm (key 12), 
washer (key 58) and gasket (key 29).
8.  Slip the valve plug (key 4) onto the pusher post 
(key 10). Place a gasket (key 29) on the shaft of 
the pusher post over the threaded portion until 
it rests on the base of the post. The printed side 
should be facing upwards when installed. Place a 
metal washer (key 58) on top of the gasket.
9.  Slip the lower spring seat (key 8) and lock washer 
(key 28) back onto the pusher post (key 10). 
Lubricate the threads of the pusher post and 
tighten the pusher post lock nut (key 31) until 
the lock washer is flat and then turn the nut an 
additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Return the diaphragm 
(key 12), spring seat and pusher post assembly to 
the body (key 1).
10.  Set the relief valve spring (key 11) in the lower 
spring seat and place the upper spring seat (key 9) 
on the spring.
11.  Put the spring case (key 2) over the spring 
(key 11) and onto the body (key 1). Tighten the 
cap screws (key 16) finger tight only.
12.  To ensure proper slack in the diaphragm (key 12), 
apply some spring compression by turning 
the adjusting screw (key 15) clockwise. Finish 
tightening the cap screws (key 16) with 10 to  
13 ft-lbs / 13.56 to 17.63 N•m of torque.
Type 112 Restrictor Maintenance
Avoid personal injury or damage 
to property from sudden release of 
pressure or uncontrolled process 
fluid. Before starting to disassemble, 
carefully release all pressures 
according to the shutdown procedure. 
Use gauges to monitor inlet, loading 
and outlet pressures while releasing 
these pressures.
Note
Accumulated dirt, mineral deposit, 
clogged debris or sediment buildup 
inside the restrictor may cause the 
unit response to get slower and unit 
performance to decrease. If any of these 
is suspected, immediately inspect and 
clean the restrictor.
Perform the following procedure if O-rings are 
leaking or if there is a need to inspect and remove 
accumulated dirt, mineral deposit, clogged debris or 
sediment buildup inside the restrictor. Key numbers 
are referenced in Figure 17.
1.  Unscrew the groove valve (key 22) and retainer 
(key 23) just enough to loosen them, but do not 
completely separate.
2.  As shown in Figure 9, push on the retainer 
(key 23) to push the groove valve (key 22) out of 
the body (key 21), then complete disassembly.
3.  Inspect the gaps and small spaces inside 
the restrictor. Check and remove any debris, 
accumulated dirt, mineral deposit or sediment 
buildup that clogs the restrictor. 
4.  Replace the groove valve O-rings (key 24) if 
necessary, being sure to lightly apply lubricant to 
the replacement O-rings before installing them in 
the groove valve and retainer.
5.  Install the groove valve (key 22) into the same 
side of the body where the scale appears. Install 
the retainer into the opposite side of the body and 
tighten until both are secure.
6.  When all maintenance is complete, refer to the 
Startup and Adjustment section to put the regulator 
back into operation.
