MAXFLO REGULATOR CONVERSION

Is it possible to convert the low pressure inline maxflo regulator into a high pressure regulator.

[Ando]

Yep. You'll need the HP spring for it. Good luck finding one.

[sjrtk]

Yes it is you just need the high pressure spring pack and possibly piston. I am not sure about the piston but 100% on the spring pack. It should just be that easy.

Good luck to you.

[Ando]

You should be fine with the piston but you might want to ck the burst disk. I've never owned a LP version so they might have some very low PSI disk installed.

got burned on this deal now stuck with a clean fricken lpr version of the maxflo regulator very consistant though very surprised how consistant it was.

You might find a HP spring if you call some of the larger suppliers. It is quite possible that they have left over stock that is not listed on their web sites.

hp compression spring maxflo regulator

my guess is that its a
compression spring closed end ground helix left
if any one has a high pressure spring for an inline maxflo regulator or knowledge of material used please post thanks
or a spring manufacturer
and for those of you that have posted solutions already it's appreciated thanks alot.

and for those that said just drop the hp spring in place you are correct thats all that is needed. besides still needing an hp spring! ping

is this worthy of the deep blue room?

This is all reasoned and may be totally wrong.

All you should need is spring length uncompresed, diameter, and the desired psi. Springs are sold in load ranges in pounds per square inch or a total compressed weight load so that makes it easy. If it is total compressed weight load you just divide the area of the spring into the load.

If you want 1200 psi then the spring should be higher as you dont want to max it out, so a 1400 psi spring would be fine

Find a online supplier and give them a call and see if this logic works.

According to the link. The pistons are different between a LP and HP. They're only showing one spring though...
