Installation
!
WARNING
Only qualified personnel shall install or service
a relief valve/backpressure regulator. Relief
valves and backpressure regulators should
be installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with international and applicable
codes and regulations and Emerson Process
Management Regulator Technologies,
Inc. instructions.
If the regulator vents fluid or a leak develops in
the system, it indicates that service is required.
Failure to take the regulator out of service
immediately may create a hazardous condition.
Personal injury, equipment damage, or leakage
due to escaping fluid or bursting of pressure
containing parts may result if this regulator
is overpressured or is installed where service
conditions could exceed the limits given in the
Specifications section, or where conditions
exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or
piping connections.
To avoid such injury or damage, provide
pressure relieving or pressure-limiting devices
(as required by the appropriate code, regulation
or standard) to prevent service conditions from
exceeding limits. Additionally, physical damage
to the regulator could result in personal injury
and property damage due to escaping fluid.
To avoid such injury and damage, install the
regulator in a safe location.

1. Proportional band includes outlet pressure drop plus hysteresis (friction), but does not include lockup.
2. Proportional band was determined with a pressure drop ranging from 3.4 to 10.3 bar / 50 to 150 psig. Approximately double the proportional band if the pressure drop is less than 3.4 bar / 50 psig
3. With Type 112 restrictor set on 2.
4. The spring ranges for the Type 161AYW is 7.5 to 30 mbar / 3 to 12 in. w.c.
5. The spring ranges for the Type 161AYW is 27 to 62 mbar / 11 to 25 in. w.c.
6. The spring ranges for the Type 161AYW is 0.06 to 0.17 bar / 0.9 to 2.5 psig.
7. Proportional band was determined with a pressure drop ranging from 6.9 to 20.7 bar / 100 to 300 psig. Approximately double the proportional band if the pressure drop is less than 6.9 bar / 100 psi.
