1. Description
The SS-
414 is a ‘medium flow’ piston sensed pressure reducing regulator, which incorporates
a balanced main valve to provide stable control under varying inlet pressures. The regulator
has the option of a PEEK or PCTFE seat for gas service and Tecasint or ceramic for hydraulic
service.
These regulators can operate at depths of up to 3,000 metres, either using the external
seawater pressure as a reference pressure or working within a sealed chamber to remain
completely unaffected by outside conditions.
Operating at depths of up to 3,000 metres (10,000ft), the SS414 have been designed and
manufactured specifically to produce the highest standard of results within the challenging
subsea environment and features NV or SV 1:1 ratio sensor assembly, as standard for sub-sea
applications and incorporates, the option of the following top works assemblies, dependant
of the functionality requirements:
-

- Spring Loaded with Reference to External Sea Water Pressure.

Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EC Declaration
This equipment is designed and manufactured in accordance with Sound Engineering Practice
(SEP) Article 4, Paragraph 3 of the directive 2014/68/EC. As such, CE marking must not be
applied. The equipment is marked under section 3.3 of Essential Safety Requirements of the
directive.
2. Installation
Before system start-up, it is recommended that all lines should be free from any form of
contaminations, as those can affect regulator performance and functionality. all systems be
pressure tested, leak tested and purged with an inert gas such as nitrogen.
Prior to placing into service ensure that the regulator is in the fully closed position, with the
adjusting mechanism turned completely anti-clockwise.
For pre-set regulators the supply pressure should be increased gradually and also to be
mindful that downstream pressure will be present.
Check the model number reference to ensure that the pressure range complies with the
installation requirements.
Visually inspect the regulator for any signs of damage or contamination. If any foreign
materials are present and cannot be removed from the regulator, or if the threads on the
regulator appear to be damaged, please contact the office immediately to arrange for the
regulator to be returned for service.
