Abstract
A pressure adjustment screw for a fluid flow control device cannot for safety's sake be rotated within a threaded cylindrical bore on the device's body to withdraw it beyond an extreme pressure level safety setting. To allow field adjustment of the set point pressure and at the same time to prevent withdrawal of the adjustment screw beyond the extreme pressure level safety setting, a stop collar is fixed within the cylindrical bore in a position contacting the adjustment screw when the adjustment screw is in its extreme pressure level safety setting. The invention includes a number of means for fixing the stop collar in this position, as do methods for fixing the stop collar in this position.
