HSRL Series

introduction

Scope of the Manual

This Instruction Manual covers Installation and 

Maintenance for the HSRL Series regulators, which 

are second stage regulators used on LP-Gas vapor 

service applications.  They are not to be used on  

liquid service.

Description

The HSRL Series regulators are second stage low 

pressure regulators, provide low pressure, inches of 

water column, delivery pressures.  They are normally 

set at 11-inches w.c. / 27 mbar pressure.  They have 

high capacity internal relief valve construction.

all vents should be kept open to 

permit free flow of air in and out of 

the regulator.  Protect vent openings 

against the entrance of rain, snow, ice 

formation, paint, mud, insects, or any 

other foreign material that could plug 

the vent or vent line.

LP-Gas may discharge to the 

atmosphere through the vent.  an 

obstructed vent which limits air or 

gas flow can cause abnormally high 

pressure that could result in personal 

injury or property damage.  Failure to 

use a vent line on indoor installations 

can cause a hazardous accumulation 

of gas which could result in personal 

injury or property damage. 

General installation instructions

Before installing the regulator:

•  Check for damage, which might have occurred 

 

in shipment.

•  Check for and remove any dirt or foreign material, 

which may have accumulated in the regulator body.

• 

Replace old pigtails.  Blow out any debris, dirt or 

copper sulfate in the copper tubing and the pipeline.

• 

Apply pipe compound to the male threads of the 

pipe before installing the regulator.

•  Make sure gas flow through the regulator is in the 

same direction as the arrow on the body.  “Inlet” 

and “Outlet” connections are clearly marked.
