4. Setup and Installation
The Regun DN20 Pressure Regulator is designed for straightforward installation. It should be installed upstream of the water supply equipment you wish to protect. Ensure the flow direction arrow on the valve body aligns with the direction of water flow in your system.
- Preparation: Turn off the main water supply before beginning installation. Drain the pipes to relieve any existing pressure.
- Placement: Select a suitable location for installation, typically after the main shut-off valve and before the appliances or fixtures requiring pressure regulation.
- Connection: Connect the regulator to your plumbing system using appropriate DN20 fittings. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Use thread sealant tape (PTFE tape) on threaded connections for a secure seal.
- Gauge Installation: Screw the pressure gauge into the designated port on the regulator. Ensure it is finger-tight, then use a wrench for a final snug turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- System Re-pressurization: Slowly turn on the main water supply, checking for any leaks.
Note: For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to have the installation performed by a qualified plumber or technician.

5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the pressure regulator can be adjusted to your desired output pressure within its operational range (0.05-0.8 Mpa).
- Initial Check: Observe the pressure gauge to see the current regulated pressure.
- Adjusting Pressure: Locate the adjustment knob on the top cover of the regulator.
- To increase pressure, turn the knob clockwise.
- To decrease pressure, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
- Monitoring: Make small adjustments and observe the pressure gauge until the desired pressure is achieved. Allow the system to stabilize after each adjustment.

6. Maintenance
The Regun DN20 Pressure Regulator is designed for low maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure its longevity and continued performance.
- Leak Inspection: Periodically inspect all connections for any signs of water leaks. Tighten connections if necessary.
- Pressure Monitoring: Regularly check the pressure gauge to ensure the system pressure remains within the desired range. Significant fluctuations may indicate an issue.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the regulator clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the brass finish.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No pressure reduction | Regulator installed backward; internal blockage. | Check flow direction arrow; inspect for debris and clean. |
| Pressure fluctuates significantly | System demand changes rapidly; faulty regulator. | This is normal for high demand changes; if persistent, consider professional inspection or replacement. |
| Water leaks from connections | Loose connections; insufficient thread sealant. | Tighten connections; reapply thread sealant tape. |
| Pressure gauge not working | Gauge faulty; not properly installed. | Ensure gauge is securely screwed in; replace gauge if defective. |
