Title: Changing regulator output pressure
Post by: goodland on July 10, 2012, 10:53:26 AM
I was wondering if any of you guys have any info on upping the output pressure.
Right now it's set at 800 psi would like to go to 1450psi.

It was a gift from my sister who thought I could use it in the field to refill.
It's only a 13 cu  3000 psi so that's not gonna help but it will fit in my my
Rws 850.

I guess the meat of the question is where do you purchase the washer stacks

If you have a Ninja regulator, you should be able to use this information....

That chart is only based on one regulator, and there will be some variation, but the trends should be pretty consistent, so once you have one pressure reading you should be able to shim to suit.... The stock 850 psi Ninja regulator uses a coil spring, not a stack of Belleville washers.... The higher pressure Ninjas use a stack of ten 0.032" thick bellevilles with one or two thinner ones (0.022") on the ends.... You can get the bellevilles and the flat shims from McMaster Carr....

The basic arrangement of Bellevilles is as follows:

The bellevilles are 5/16" ID x 5/8" OD and the flat shims are 3/8" ID and 5/8" OD.... Get several thicknesses of shims....

HTHs....
