Type 310A-32A Pressure Reducing Regulator and 

Type 310A-32A-32A Working Monitor Regulator

Introduction

Scope of the Manual

This Instruction Manual provides installation, 

maintenance, and parts ordering information for the 

Type 310A-32A pilot-operated, pressure reducing 

regulator and the Type 310A-32A-32A working monitor 

regulator.  Information on equipment used with this 

regulator is found in separate manuals.

Description

The Type 310A-32A pilot-operated, pressure reducing 

regulator includes a single Type 32A pilot mounted 

on the Type 310A main valve for pressure reducing or 

wide-open monitoring applications.

The Type 310A-32A-32A working monitor regulator 

includes Type 310A regulator which functions as the 

first-stage regulator in the working monitor situations 

by taking the initial pressure reduction and two 

Type 32A pilots which serve as the monitoring and 

working pilots.

Specifications

Ratings and specifications for the Type 310A 

configurations are listed in the Specifications section 

on page 2.  Some specifications for a specific regulator 

are stamped on a nameplate attached to the pilot 

spring case (key 1, Figure 9).
