3. محتويات العبوة
تأكد من وجود كافة المكونات قبل البدء في التثبيت:
- 1x Apollo 3/4" Bronze Double Union Threaded Water Pressure Regulator
- 1x Integrated Pressure Gauge
4. التثبيت
This regulator features a double union PEX-A (cold expansion) barb design for simplified installation in PEX-A piping systems. Ensure the regulator is installed in the correct flow direction, indicated by an arrow on the body.
- تحضير موقع التثبيت: Turn off the main water supply. Drain the water lines to relieve pressure. Select a suitable location for the regulator, typically after the main shut-off valve and before any branch lines.
- Cut and Prepare PEX-A Piping: Cut the PEX-A pipe to the required length, ensuring clean, square cuts. Prepare the pipe ends for cold expansion connections according to PEX-A system manufacturer guidelines.
- قم بتوصيل المنظم:
- Apply appropriate thread sealant (e.g., Teflon tape or pipe dope) to the male threads of the PEX-A fittings.
- Thread the PEX-A fittings onto the double union ends of the regulator. Ensure the flow arrow on the regulator body points in the direction of water flow into the building.
- Tighten the union nuts securely, but do not overtighten.
- Perform cold expansion connections on the PEX-A pipe ends to the fittings according to PEX-A system manufacturer instructions.
- تثبيت مقياس الضغط: The pressure gauge is typically pre-installed. Ensure it is securely threaded into the designated port on the regulator body.
- Restore Water Supply and Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as necessary.

5. تعليمات التشغيل
The regulator is factory-set at 50 psi and is adjustable from 15 psi to 75 psi. No special tools are required for adjustment.
- التحقق من الضغط الحالي: Observe the reading on the integrated pressure gauge. The gauge is color-coded to indicate pressure ranges (e.g., Low, Optimal, Excessive).
- ضبط الضغط:
- ل يزيد pressure: Turn the yellow adjustment handle في اتجاه عقارب الساعة.
- ل ينقص pressure: Turn the yellow adjustment handle عكس عقارب الساعه.
- Make small adjustments and allow the system pressure to stabilize before re-checking the gauge.
- تأكيد الإعداد: Once the desired pressure is achieved (typically between 50-60 psi for most residential applications), confirm the reading on the gauge.

6. الصيانة
The Apollo Water Pressure Regulator is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure optimal performance.
- Periodic Pressure Check: Periodically check the pressure gauge to ensure the system pressure remains at the desired setting. Fluctuations may indicate a need for adjustment or inspection.
- فحص التسرب: Annually inspect the regulator and connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion.
- تنظيف: Clean the exterior of the regulator with a damp استخدم قطعة قماش حسب الحاجة. لا تستخدم مواد كيميائية قاسية.
- Sediment Filter (Optional): If your water supply contains significant sediment, consider installing a sediment filter upstream of the pressure regulator to prevent internal clogging.
7. استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها
| مشكلة | السبب المحتمل | حل |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow or very low pressure downstream | Regulator set too low; Main water supply off; Regulator clogged. | Increase pressure setting; Check main water valve; Inspect for debris (consult a plumber if necessary). |
| Pressure too high downstream | Regulator set too high; Regulator malfunction. | Decrease pressure setting; If problem persists, regulator may need replacement. |
| Water hammer or fluctuating pressure | Rapid changes in water demand; Regulator bypass mechanism issue. | Ensure proper air chambers are installed in the plumbing system; Consult a plumber for regulator inspection. |
| تسربات في التوصيلات | Improperly tightened connections; Insufficient thread sealant. | Tighten connections; Reapply thread sealant if necessary (ensure water supply is off first). |
