Type EZR Pressure Reducing Regulator

Introduction

Scope of the Manual

This instruction manual provides installation, 

startup, adjustment, maintenance and parts ordering 

information for Type EZR pressure reducing regulator, 

Types 112 restrictor, 161AY, 161EB and PRX Series 

pilot. Any accessories used with this regulator are 

covered in their respective instruction manuals.

Product Description

The Type EZR pilot-operated, pressure reducing 

regulators are used for natural gas, air or other 

non-corrosive gas applications and include a 

Type 112 restrictor and a 161EB, 161AY or 

PRX Series pilot. 

Pilot Type Descriptions

Type 161AY

—Low-pressure pilot with an outlet 

pressure range of 6 in. w.c. to 7 psig / 15 mbar to  

0.48 bar. Pilot bleeds (exhausts) downstream through 

the sense (control) line.
