 Type LR125 Pressure Reducing Liquid Regulator and Type MR95H/MR95HP Pilot

Failure to follow these instructions or 

to properly install and maintain this 

equipment could result in bursting 

of the equipment and/or chemical 

contamination causing property damage 

and personal injury or death.
Fisher™ 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. (Emerson)  instructions.
If the regulator discharges process 

fluid 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 qualified service person to service 

the unit. Installation, operation and 

maintenance procedures performed 

by unqualified personnel may result 

in improper adjustment and unsafe 

operation. Either condition may result in 

equipment damage or personal injury. 

Only a qualified person must install or 

service the regulator.

The Type LR125 is designed for liquid 

service. Do not operate the regulator

below the process fluid’s freezing point 

or above its boiling point which are 

dependent on the process fluid and the 

application pressures.
