Maintenance, Overhaul & Test Instructions

Carter Model 47013 Hose End Regulator

INTRODUCTION
specifying the pressure setting as the dash
number to the basic model number, i.e. 4701345 is a regulator with a 45 psi spring. When the
regulator is obtained as an integral part or as an
option to a nozzle it is specified as noted in
paragraph 3.0.

This manual furnishes detailed instructions

covering the maintenance and overhaul of
Carter Model 47013 hose end regulator
designed to provide a relatively fixed pressure at
its outlet. Three pressure settings (35, 45, and
55 psi) are available and are procured by

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
"surge" pressure from being sensed within the
aircraft. The unit is a direct acting spring loaded
regulator which will control pressure at its outlet
in accordance with the spring force provided
therein. A double ended piston of different areas
is balanced against the spring and atmospheric
pressure to provide the control. The smaller end
of the piston is vented to the atmosphere
through a screened breather to provide an
atmospheric pressure reference point.

Carter Model 47013-* hose end regulator is

designed to be used as a part of Carter Model
64200 or 64348 nozzle to provide a maximum
pressure at its outlet ("nozzle pressure") to
control the flow of fuel into the aircraft. In
addition the unit responds to increases in
pressure within the aircraft fuel manifold caused
by closure of the aircraft's tank level control
valves to either maintain the desired maximum
pressure or to close to prevent an excessive

TABLE OF OPTIONS
the "F" option as a part of the nozzle part
number, e.g. 64348F43H is a nozzle with 45 psi
regulator, ball valve with 2-1/2" NPT inlet. Refer
to SM64200 or SM64348 for more details. All
units use the same Housing (29) and there is no
external method of determining which unit is in
use. The individual springs are color coded as
explained in a later section of this manual.

The unit is available with three different spring

settings, 35, 45 and 55 psi. The unit is also
available as an integral part or option of the
64200 or 64348 nozzle when the 64015 ball
valve option is also specified. In this case the
basic option letter to be included in the nozzle
part number is "F" and the spring setting must
be specified as either a "3, 4 or 5" appended to

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
fuel increases in this cavity, it will be forced out
of the breather with each stroke of the piston.
This small leakage is normal, however as wear
on the seal and piston become more with use
the leakage will become more significant and the
parts should be replaced. The breather port
should not be plugged at any time. This will
make the unit inoperable. The swivel joints in the
64348 allow the rotating of the regulator into any
360 position.

The subject regulator incorporates a fairly highly

loaded spring that moves the piston against the
pressure during operation. It is worth noting that
one should take care in disassembly so as not to
be injured by the spring loaded piston.
The smaller end of the piston is vented to the
atmosphere through a breather. Due to the fact
that the piston is sealed with a sliding Teflon
seal there is always a minute amount of leakage
from the pressure side of the piston to the
chamber behind the piston. As the amount of

DISASSEMBLY

6.1

Remove the regulator from the nozzle as

detailed in SM64348, paragraph 6.3 or or
SM64200, Paragraph 6.2.

6.2

No part number - Seal run-in tool - See

Figure 2.

WL4680 Torque Wrench or Standard torque

wrench is required for some disassembly
and re-assembly. WL4680 includes several
sockets for special usage on Carter
products.

Remove the ball valve from the inlet of the unit

as instructed in SM64015.

SM47013
6.3

Depress piston (2) with the use of an arbor press

or equivalent in order to remove the Retaining
Ring (1) from its groove in the Housing (29).

6.6

Screws (9) are self-locking type screws that

utilize a nylon insert in the threads to affect the
resistance required to provide the locking. They
are designed to be reused a number of times
before losing their locking effectivity. Using a
torque driver, remove Screw (9) and Washer
(10), measuring the torque during removal. If
the torque is less than 1.5 in lbs (0.017 m kg)
discard the screw and replace it with a new one
during reassembly. This permits the remainder
of the parts, O-ring (15), Seal Spacers (16), Seal
(17), O-Ring (18), Quad-ring (12), Ball (13) and
Spring (14), to be removed. Be careful not to
lose the small Ball (13).

6.7

Carefully remove the Outer Piston Seal (7) and

O-Ring (8) from their groove in the outlet of the
Housing (29).

6.8

The Teflon Seal (19) and O-ring (20) should only

be removed if the Seal (19) is damaged. The Oring is a flurosilicone compound and is not
affected by age. To remove it use an "o-ring
pick" being careful not to damage the Housing
(29). Once removed, the Seal (19) must be
replaced as well as the O-ring (20).

WARNING
Piston (2) is under an initial spring load of
approximately 65 pounds. Use care in
disassembly to avoid serious injury to personnel
and equipment.
6.4

6.5

Slowly release the load from the arbor press and

allow the Piston Spring (6), (6A), or (6B) to push
the piston assembly out of the Housing (29). It is
now possible to remove the Outer Piston (2), the
Screw (4), the "Stat-O-Seal" (5) and the Inner
Piston (3) as an assembly. Screw (4) should be
removed and discarded at this time. Reusing this
screw is not recommended.
The regulator is supplied with either of three
Springs (6) that are rated to produce a controlled
pressure at the nozzle of 35, 45 or 55 psig. The
springs can be identified as shown in the table
below.

removed with abrasive. Excessive burring may
result in hanging up of the part within the nozzle
body making it impossible to disassemble in the
future.

Inspect all metal parts for dings, gouges,

abrasions, etc. Use 320 grit paper to smooth and
remove sharp edges. Replace any part with
damage exceeding 15% of local wall thickness.
Use alodine 1200 to touch up bared aluminum. On
older units that do not have the replaceable wear
rings, carefully check the edges of the ball races in
end of the Housing (29) for excessive wear or
burrs. This part is dry film lubricated. If the ball
groove is shiny the part should be replaced or the
dry film lubricant be reapplied. An easily used

inserted into the Housing Assy (29) first, followed
by a Spacer (16) then the other Seal (17). If only a
single Seal (17) is used, a Spacer (16) is inserted
on either side of the Seal (17).

Reassemble in reverse order of disassembly,

noting the following:

8.1

8.2

Do not lubricate any seals or o-rings with the

exception of items 12, 19 & 20. These may be
lubricated for ease of installation. Lubrication of
the other seals may tend to cause leakage or
pressure creep.
Install O-ring (8) into the outside groove of Seal
(7). This sub-assembly can be installed into the
groove in the Housing (29). Install Body (29) into
a vise with the outlet accessible. Insert the
lapping tool described in Figure 2 into a variable
speed hand drill. Insert the modified Outer
Piston on the tool into the Seal (7). Lubricate the
seal and tool liberally with alcohol to prevent the
seal from turning during the lapping operation.
Start the drill at a medium speed (about 1,000
rpm) and move the tool up and down staying in
the seal for at least one minute. Remove tool
and clean seal and tool with alcohol.

8.3

Two drops of Loctite 222, 242 or 271 shall be

applied to the threads of the Screw (4) prior to its
being inserted into the assembly. (Shake the
Loctite well before using). The Screw (4) shall be
tightened to a torque limit of 18 to 20 in-lbs
(0.207 to 0.230 kg-m).

8.4

On older units, only one each O-ring (18) and Seal

(17) were used with two Spacers (16). It is
recommended that this be changed to agree with
the illustrated Figure I. O-ring (18) is installed in the
groove in Seal (17) prior to inserting into Housing

The reassembled unit may be tested as a

component of a complete nozzle.

9.2

Test conditions

8.5

Insert Spring (14), Ball (13) and Quad-ring (12)

into hole in Housing (29).

8.6

Install O-ring (15) into the Housing (29) and

using the four Screws (9) and Washers (10)
reassemble the Seal Retainer (11) making sure
that the bleed hole is correctly aligned with the
Ball (13).

8.7

The remainder of the parts may be re-installed.

8.8

If Seal (19) and O-ring (20) were removed,

replacement of both is required. Install O-ring (20)
in the groove, then carefully force Seal (19) onto
Housing (29) and into the larger ball groove.
Carefully start the Seal (19) into the o-ring groove
on top of O-ring (20) at one point only. Holding the
Seal (19) in this position use a .250 inch (6 mm)
diameter nylon rod as a tool. Place the rod in the
ball groove underneath the Seal (19) at the point
where it has been started into the o-ring groove.
Push the Seal (19) into its final position by moving
the rod slowly around the part in the ball groove.
Carter part number 23620 Bearing used on the
60427 can be utilized for this purpose.

If Wear Ring (29B) was removed replace it. Do

not use the unit without this ring if it was present
when the unit was disassembled.

leakage, distortion or any other damage to any

part of the regulator. There shall be no evidence
of distortion or damage to any part of the
regulator. Formation of a free-falling drop of test
fluid from the ambient vent port during the second
minute of pressurization shall be cause for
rejection. Leakage from this port can be caused
by the seals of the Inner Piston (3) or the sealing
surface of the piston itself.

Test media shall be JP-4, Jet A or odorless

kerosene, commercial solvent 140.
9.3

Functional Test
Note: If the Unit is tested as a part of the nozzle,
the nozzle should be attached to a Carter
6958CG or CH and maintained in an open
position during any test subjecting the assembly
to 300 psi.

9.3.1

May 2006

Simultaneously apply 300 psi fluid pressure to the

inlet and outlet of the Unit for 2 minutes, then
reduce pressure to zero. If pressure is applied
only to the inlet of the nozzle, the use of Block Out
Device Model 61656 shall be used to assure that
the regulator piston is maintained in an open
position. During the second minute of
pressurization, check the regulator for external

9.3.2

The unit shall be installed in a test setup that

provides a flow rate of 500 cc/min with gauges
(0-100 psi) mounted upstream and downstream.
Fill the unit with test fluid, ensuring that all air is
purged from the assembly. Apply 15 + 3 psig
above the regulator spring rating to the inlet of
the Unit and establish a flow of 500 + 50 cc/min.
and read the outlet pressure. The outlet
pressure shall not exceed 5 psig above the
pressure rating of the regulator.

the pressure at its outlet. If the refueling system

utilizes a secondary control valve it will be
necessary to override the regulator to determine
if the secondary is functioning properly. Naturally
one can remove the regulator. The better choice
is to utilize a block out device. There are two
possible choices of block out devices available
on the market.

Carter has a new block out device, Model

61656, that does not introduce fuel into the
ambient chamber and therefore overcomes the
continuous bleed flow from the Breather Assembly
(19). This block out device, shown in Figure 4, can
be used on the majority of all Carter regulators.
There are some old units in service that will require
the use of the hose method described above. On
these units the hole at the bottom of the Breather
Assembly (19) port is not large enough to accept
the 61656. The instructions for use of the 61656
are included on the unit.

One such device consists of two fittings on a

short hose that will connect the regulator breather
port to a nozzle port. This will deactivate the
regulator by routing the nozzle pressure into the
ambient sense port (breather port). The regulator
will therefore stay open. The refueling system may
be fully checked out independently from the
regulator. This type of device has a large
disadvantage. Fuel injected within the ambient
cavity of the regulator must be drained. This is
difficult and the fuel will continue to be pushed out
of the Breather Assembly (19) for days after such a
use. With such bleed flow one can't determine
whether the unit is simply purging itself or whether
there is a main seal leak.

CAUTION
Do not refuel an aircraft with the block out device
in place. The hose end regulator will not be
operative, therefore the primary control system
will not function.
After using the hose type block out device, cycle
the system several times to force residual fuel
out of the breather port of the regulator.

Hose type block out devices are commercially

available to fit all Carter nozzles and regulators.
These units provide a quick disconnect fitting to
replace the Breather Assy (19), a dry break fitting
to fit into one of the nozzle ports and the hose
assembly with the mating male disconnect fittings.
The special fittings provided for the regulator and
nozzle can remain installed at all times.
10.0

May 2006

Another use for the block out device would occur

should a pressure defueling of the aircraft be
required and the pressure anticipated at the
nozzle would be greater than 30 psi. The device
is not normally required on suction defueling.

Notes:

1.

All part numbers beginning with "GF" are interchangeable with those beginning with either "AN" or "MS". If the "GF" is
followed by three numbers it is interchangeable with and "AN" part, otherwise it is interchangeable with an "MS" part
of the same number.

2.

The recommended spare parts shown above are the number required to support 10 Units for one year or each overhaul
whichever is sooner. These quantities do not include replacement spares for intermediate replacement of parts required
by abuse or misuse of the equipment. The recommended quantities are based on the ratio of spare parts sold for each
unit during a one year period of time. The actual quantity required will vary from location to location.

3.

Both items (12) and (15) are current production parts that replaced NAS1594-007 O-ring and 210174-229 Quad-ring
respectively. These change were made as design improvements. The older parts can continue to be used until the
newer parts are available. When ordered, the older parts will automatically be replaced with the new parts.
