Looking at the FX published parts list for the Streamline (attached) I found a note regarding the regulator.
The note is about the Belville washers (Part G3) and it instructs the reader to see the "regulator pressure chart schematic" to identify the parts
Take a look at the attached pdf and it will make sense.
I've outlined the part and the note in orange

My question is:
Can anyone point me to "the regulator pressure chart schematic"?
It is not on the FX website

Thanks
Edward

ahhh the elusive chart, I'm sure they have it somewhere, I've found that a average .35mm thickness is about 110 bar to 140 bar, I like to average them out as close as possible so they all work the same. I also lube with with my beloved Mobile One so they slip properly when under load, if one needs lower pressures, you need to go a bit thinner on the average.

Interesting approach, @HogKiller!
I was thinking the chart might show the different arrangements of Bellville washers for different power and output levels

This is what I came up with, YMMV. Please note that I said .35 but I've got a horrible issue with my memory and numbers, it could have very well have been .45 on my friends FX.. I know these are good at least for my gun(s).

Sadly that PDF only gives you an idea of what a regulator is 'kind of' set at by color code on the regulator.
You can get some information from this video

I'd love to have that Regulator tester as the Huma tester I have does not work with the stock FX regulator.
I may see if I can have parts made to work.

Now I do have a RED color (140 Bar) Streamline Regulator if you want any info on it. I run a Huma in the Streamline now.

Your offer of info off the red Streamline regulator is most appreciated, @Privaterr.
I will pass on that for now.
The regulator in my 25 caliber is working properly
And I got into this thread to gather info should it ever need work.
A Huma reg for it is a very good idea.
How is it working out for you?
Also, did you install a plenum along with it, or just swap one reg for the other?
