Scope

This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance 

instructions for the Mooney Series 21 Regulator. The manual is 

divided into the following sections:

Product Description

Baker Hughes’s Mooney Series 21 Regulator is a pressure control 

regulator designed for use in both gas and liquid applications.

Series 21 - 

Brass construction with 3 to 450 psi (0.20 bar - 31 

bar) control pressure range.

Series 21H - 

High pressure brass construction with a 200 to 900 

psi (14 bar - 62 bar)  control pressure range.

Series 21S -

 Stainless steel construction with a 3 to 450 (0.20 

bar - 31 bar) control pressure range.

Series 21HS - 

High pressure, stainless steel construction with a 

200 to 900 psi (14 bar - 62 bar) control pressure range.
The  parts  in  all  constructions  are  interchangeable.  The  high 

pressure constructions (Series 21H and 21HS) differ from the 

Series 21 and 21S with the addition of a diaphragm spacer 

assembly that reduces the effective area of the diaphragm and 

increases the spring range of the black and green springs. 

General Description

(Refer to Figure 1)

Spring Housing (1): 

The Regulator Spring Housing is provided 

with a 1/4 inch NPT vent connection which may be piped to a 

safe area or pressure loaded for remote control of the pressure 

setting. The Spring Housing may also be pressurized for use in 

differential pressure control or remote control applications. The 

Main Spring may be changed by simply removing the Closing 

Cap (1A).

Body Insert Assembly (2):

 A removable Body Insert Assembly 

(cartridge),  at  the  bottom  of  the  Regulator  Body,  contains  the 

inner valve mechanism. The cartridge may be replaced with a 

spare  unit  for  fast  trouble  shooting  or  repair.  The  Body  Insert 

Assembly is also field repairable.

Sensing and Outlet Ports (3): 

The Series 21 Regulator has 

combined SENSE and OUTLET connections. 

Diaphragm Spacer Assembly (4):

 The addition of this assembly 

converts the Series 21 & 21S Regulator into the high pressure 

Series 21H & 21HS. It reduces the regulator diaphragm area and 

increases the spring range of the black and green springs.
