A4W, A4WB, A4WS, A4WBS Parts List 

Caution

Regulators with ‘B’ features can only 

be adjusted with the pilot solenoid 

de-energized.  Regulators with the 

‘S’ feature can only be adjusted with 

the solenoid energized.

!

A4W Disassembly
(See also Bulletin RSBCV)

All A4W series regulators can be 
disassembled and all serviceable 
and moving parts replaced without 
disturbing the piping, but of course, 
dis assembly will cause exposure of 
some section of piping to atmosphere, 
which should be addressed before 
disassembly by evacuation and re-
claim of the refrigerant.

For the A4W series inlet regulators, the 
seal cap (#1) should be loosened and 
the adjustment stem (#7) backed out 
until no further spring compression 
is felt.  If it is known that access to the 
range spring (#9) and diaphragm (#14) 
is not required, the sub-assembly from 
the port plate up can remain intact 
and the regulator set point can thus 
be preserved, avoiding the need for 
gross adjustments when the valve is 
put back in service.  If access to the 
pilot assembly (#17 – 21) on an A4W 
is required, then the compression 
must be taken off  the range spring as 
described above, and the bonnet bolts 
(#4) removed.  If a solenoid fea ture is 
incorporated, the solenoid coil (#45) 
should now be removed by removing 
the coil clip (#44).  Never energize a 
solenoid coil that is not mounted and 
secured on its solenoid actuator (#46).

After removing the bonnet assembly 
bolts, the bonnet can be easily 
lifted off , and will usually leave the 
diaphragm resting on top of the gasket 
(#15) and o-ring (#16).  Th

  e bolts (#25) 

retaining the lower sub-assembly can 
now be removed.  Th

  e wear aspects of 

the port plate (#34) are the diaphragm 
and the pilot assembly, which is 
pressed into the top of the port plate.  
Remove the diaphragm and inspect 
carefully for cracks, or scarring around 
the pilot seat area. Th

  is is most easily 

done by looking down a piece of 
large tubing, through the diaphragm, 
at a safety lamp or similar light
