MODEL L
TWO-STAGE REGULATOR REPAIR KIT INSTRUCTIONS
Important: Any maintenance, service or repair
should be performed by trained and experi-
enced service technicians. Proper tools and
equipment should be used to prevent injury to
the servicing technician, property or system
components. Service repairs should always be
performed in a safe environment and the tech-
nician should always wear protective clothing
to prevent injury.
The IMPCO PPI-16 repair kit instructions will
provide the technician information to success-
fully repair the Model L regulator. Always in-
spect the major casting pieces for damage,
corrosion or cracks before attempting a service
repair. Be sure the repair kit part number you
are using is correct for the regulator being ser-
viced. Diaphragms are color coded and have
different performance characteristics:
BLACK: Hydrin diaphragm material is the
standard material and is well suited for the
most common applications.
YELLOW: Silicone diaphragm material is the
optional upgrade material that provides excel-
lent flexibility in cold weather climates and is
more resistant to chemical contamination.
Model L Two Stage Converter
Do not use Teflon tape to seal any fuel fittings.
Failure to follow this warning may cause the
regulator to leak internally, possibly resulting in
serious injury and/or property damage and may
void any warranty coverage.

REBUILD INSTRUCTIONS
1. Model L Repair Kit (RK-L) contains all nec-
essary parts to replace components subject
to deterioration (see page 2 for repair kit
components). Installation of repair kit should
be necessary only at the time of a major
overhaul or when converter has been out of
service for a significant length of time.
Note: Gaskets and diaphragms deteriorate if
converter is stored after use.
2. Inspect repair kit component parts to ensure
the kit is complete. Start disassembly by
removing the eight screws (2) securing sec-
ondary cover assembly (3).
3. Tap cover (3) loose with plastic screwdriver
handle and remove secondary diaphragm
assembly (5). The diaphragm assembly
must be moved away from water inlet-outlet
to disengage diaphragm link from the lever
assembly. Discard diaphragm assembly.
4. Early Models Only For later models, skip to
step 7. Loosen screw (10) which retains ful-
crum pin (8).

5. Remove screw (10).
6. Slide fulcrum pin (8) to side as shown to
release lever assembly (6 & 7). In some
cases, the pin may come out entirely.
Retain it for reassembly steps. Skip to
Step 8.
7. Later Models Only For early models,
skip to Step 8. Remove two screws (28)
with T-20 Torx tool to release the fulcrum
pin (8).
8. Remove secondary lever and seat as-
sembly (6 & 7) and secondary regulator
spring (9). Retain pin and spring; discard
lever and seat.

9. Remove remaining screws (10) securing
primary diaphragm cover (11) and re-
move the cover.
10. Removal of primary diaphragm cover
(11) frees two primary springs (12) and

move springs and retain for reuse.
11. Remove primary diaphragm assembly
(13). Slide the diaphragm assembly to
disengage slot from primary valve pin
(20). Discard primary diaphragm as-
sembly. Pencil tip points out pin.
Note: Primary valve is actuated by this
pin through the body. This isolates the
diaphragm from any contact with liquid
propane.
12. Turn over and loosen fuel inlet bushing
(27) using a tube wrench or six sided
socket.
