Installation & Notes

  • Depressurize equipment and follow the service manual for your exact model.

  • If your schematic does not show a Restrict-A-Flo valve, this restrictor is not applicable to that model.

Frequently Asked Questions

It provides a precise passage for the fluid, limiting flow to stabilize pressure and spray pattern. Without it, flow can surge and cause uneven atomization or downstream component wear.

Open your model’s parts diagram and look for a Restrict-A-Flo valve. If present, note the associated items—housing 166206 and nut 166209—then match the restrictor part number to 166208.

Common signs include unstable pressure, irregular fan pattern, excessive flow to the gun, and accelerated wear on downstream components. Replace the insert if the orifice is worn or damaged.
