Checking the usage
Intended use
The gas pressure regulator VGBF serves to maintain
a constant outlet pressure pddespite changing gas
flow rates and inlet pressures puin gas pipelines.
This function is only guaranteed when used within
the specified fields of application – see page 5
(Technical data).
Any other use is considered as non-compliant.

Installation
CAUTION
Please observe the following to ensure that the
gas pressure regulator is not damaged during the
installation:
– Install the unit free of mechanical stress.
– Do not clamp the unit in a vice or use it as a
lever. Risk of external leakage.
– Sealing material, cuttings and other impurities
must not be allowed to get into the regulator
housing.
– The installation location must be dry. Do not
store or install the unit in the open air.
– Dropping the device can cause permanent dam-
age. In this event, replace the entire device and
associated modules before use.
– Installation in the horizontal position, never up-
side down. VGBF 15 – 50 can also be installed
in the vertical position.
▷The outlet pressure pdis set at the factory with
the spring dome pointing vertically upwards.
VGBF 15 – 50: if installed with the spring dome
in the horizontal position, check and adjust the
outlet pressure pd, see page 4 (Changing
the outlet pressure pd).
▷
The housing must not touch any surrounding walls.
Minimum clearance 20 mm. Ensure that there is
sufficient space for installation and adjustment.
Install a filter upstream of the unit, in order to
protect it against impurities in the pipeline.

secured to the spring dome with an adhesive
strip on delivery.

Tightness test
WARNING
If gas-filled spaces have been opened, check them
for tightness.
Block the pipeline at the inlet and outlet.
Slowly apply inlet pressure pu.
(pu≤ 1.5 × pu max., see type label)
Slowly apply outlet pressure pd.
(pd≤ 1.5 × pd, see type table)
CAUTION
– First apply the inlet pressure p
u
– then the outlet
pressure pd.
– The inlet pressure pumust always be equal to
or higher than the outlet pressure pd.
– In the event of non-compliance with the se-
quence, the inlet pressure compensation dia
-
phragm will reverse.

Changing the outlet pressure pd
▷The outlet pressure pdis set at the factory with
the spring dome pointing vertically upwards. If
the VGBF is installed with the spring dome in
the horizontal position, check and adjust the
outlet pressure pd.
▷Use the test points on the unit only for measure-
ments of zero flow or very slight flow.

pressure pdon the type label.
Checking the function
Request different outputs on the burner in order
to change the flow rate.
Close the manual valve at the inlet a little in order
to change the inlet pressure pu.
▷Despite changing flow rates and inlet pressures
pu (within the capacity range of the VGBF), the
outlet pressure pdmust remain constant
(±10–15%).
Reduce the capacity to low-fire rate and close
the valve downstream of the VGBF.
▷
Approx. 30 seconds after the valve has been
closed, the outlet pressure pdshould not in-
crease significantly.
Check the tightness of the VGBF during operation
to detect possible leaks due to hardened rubber
materials.

6 If a leak is found, replace the rubber materials.
▷Selecting spare parts:
see www.adlatus.org, Part Detective.
7 Then check for tightness once again.
Replacing the spring
Choose a spring according to the outlet pressure
range (see page 6 (Spring table)).
Remove the cover cap.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
– The taut spring can pop out when opening the
spring dome. Therefore, decompress the spring
as far as it will go before opening. Then turn
back 5 × to relax the spring counter bearing.

Maintenance
In order to ensure smooth operation, check the tight-
ness and function of the gas pressure regulator every
year, or every six months if operated with biogas, see
page 4 (Checking the function) and page 3
(Tightness test).
▷
Spare parts, see www.adlatus.org, PartDetective.
▷If gas-filled space has been opened, check the
tightness and function, see page 3 (Tightness
test) and page 4 (Checking the function).
Technical data
Gas type: natural gas, town gas, LPG (gaseous)
and biogas, VGBF..V for air.
Outlet pressure ranges:
The outlet pressure range is achieved through the
use of different springs (see page 6 (Spring
table)).
Rp 1/4 connection for test points or even for a
pilot gas line:
at the inlet: VGBF 15 and 25,
at inlet and outlet: VGBF 40 – 150.
Ambient temperature: -15 to +60°C,
VGBF..V: 0 to 60°C.
No condensation permitted.
Long-term use in the upper ambient temperature
range accelerates the ageing of the elastomer ma-
terials and reduces the service life (please contact
manufacturer).
Storage temperature: -15 to +40°C,
VGBF..V: 0 to 40°C.
Strainers that are possibly fitted serve as flow
conditioners.
Housing: aluminium,
diaphragms: NBR or Viton,
valve seat: aluminium,
valve stem: aluminium,
valve disc: vulcanized NBR or Viton seal.
Internal thread: Rp to ISO 7-1,
flanged connection: PN 16 to ISO 7005,
