    This document provides instructions for changing a gas cylinder: 1) Close the cylinder valve, reduce the outlet pressure, and vent any gas in the regulator. 2) Remove the empty cylinder and regulator, secure the replacement cylinder, and remove the plastic plug from the new cylinder valve. 3) Inspect and replace the regulator seal if needed, attach the regulator to the new cylinder valve, and slowly open the cylinder valve while standing to the side. 4) Check for leaks and retighten the connection if needed, then mark the inlet and outlet pressure gauges.

    Standard Procedure: Gas Cylinder Change Over.

    4 Cylinder pressure gauge

    Outlet pressure gauge 5 1 Cylinder valve

    3 Regulator connector

    Regulator control valve 2

    Figure 1 Typical side entry attached regulator (non-flammable gas).

    a. Close Cylinder valve 1 (turn hand wheel clockwise).

    b. Reduce the outlet pressure (turn the Regulator control valve 2 anti-clockwise).

    c. Vent any gas in the regulator at any secondary supply valve or attached apparatus
    whenever possible. (Exercise caution when venting flammable, corrosive or toxic gas).

    d. Remove the regulator from the cylinder valve (undo the connector 3 at the cylinder valve
    with a regulator spanner). Remember for flammable gas, connectors are left hand thread.

    e. Remove the empty/unwanted cylinder.

    f. Secure the replacement cylinder at 2/3 its height or in restraint provided.

    g. Secure empty/unwanted cylinder to cylinder trolley.

    h. Remove the plastic plug from the cylinder valve outlet (DO NOT use gas pressure).

    i. Inspect regulator inlet spigot, “O” ring or seal for serviceability (replace if necessary).

    j. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve and tighten using a regulator spanner.

    k. While standing to the side (neither in front of nor behind the regulator) slowly open the
    cylinder valve anti-clockwise. Open FULLY, then close half a turn.

    l. Check the regulator to valve connection with a leak detector or soapy water (other suitable
    liquid that will not damage the valve or regulator could be used) for leaks. If bubbles form
    or a leak is detected close the cylinder valve and retighten the connector. Open the cylinder
    valve and leak test again. Repeat until there are no leaks detected. If a leak remains,
    regulator replacement may be required.

    m. Mark the FULL inlet pressure on the cylinder pressure gauge 4 with tape or marker pen if
    required.

    n. Adjust the Regulator control valve 2 (clockwise) to the required pressure and mark the
    outlet pressure gauge 5 if required.
