WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions or 

to properly install and maintain this 

equipment could result in an explosion

 regulators must be installed, 

operated and maintained in accordance 

with federal, state and local codes, rules 

and regulations and Emerson Process 

Management Regulator Technologies, Inc. 

(Regulator Technologies) instructions.
If the regulator vents gas or a leak 

develops in the system, service to the unit 

may be required. Failure to correct trouble 

could result in a hazardous condition. 
Call a gas service person to service the 

unit. Only a qualified person must install 

or service the regulator.

Introduction

Scope of the Manual

This Instruction Manual provides installation, adjustment 

and maintenance instructions and parts ordering 

information for the 299H Series regulators. Complete 

instructions and parts list for the 67C Series filtered pilot 

supply regulator and other Fisher equipment are found 

in separate instruction manuals.

Description 

The 299H Series pressure reducing regulators provide 

a broad capacity of controlled pressure ranges and 

capacities in a wide variety of distribution, industrial 

and commercial applications. A 299H Series regulator 

has a pilot integrally mounted to the actuator casing. 

The 299H Series regulators can handle inlet pressures 

up to 175 psi / 12.1 bar depending on orifice size.

Figure 1.

 299H Series Pressure Reducing Regulator

The integral token relief on the Types 299HR and 

299HSR regulators is located in the pilot and opens 

to relieve minor overpressure.

The Type 299HS provides overpressure or overpressure 

and underpressure protection by completely shutting off 

the flow of gas to the downstream system. It comes with 

a Type VSX-2 slam-shut device which can be configured 

for Ovepressure Shutoff (OPSO) or Overpressure and 

Underpressure Shutoff (OPSO/UPSO). The slam-shut 

device’s actions are independent of the main valve and 

of variations to the inlet pressure. The Type VSX-2  

slam-shut device has internal or external registration. 

External registration requires a downstream sensing line.
