 Scope

This manual provides the installation, operation, and mainte-
nance for the Mooney Slam Shut a stand alone valve (SSV) 
and the Flowgrid Regulator and Slam Shut Valve  a regulator 
with integrated SSV. 

Instructions for the Flowgrid regulator and Pilot are found in 
separate IOM manuals.

 Product Description

The slam shut valve is an easy to maintain automatic shutoff 
device. The device is designed to shut off the flow of gas when 
the sensed pressure in the system either exceeds or drops 
below the set point. It can be used as a stand alone device or 
integrated into the 2” through 4” Flowgrid regulators.

The Mooney Slam Shut consists of a Flowgrid body, a shut 
off valve assembly with a cover and a slam shut device and a 
controller. 

The Series 50 and 50D controller mounts on the side of the 
2” through 4” shut off valves.

T he Flowgrid Regulator and Shut Off Valve consists of a 
Flowgrid regulator with a shut off valve inserted between the 
Flowgrid body and the regulator with a side mounted Series 
50 or 50D Controller. 

The controller can be supplied in three different configurations. 
1)  The single function controller (Figure 1) provides over or 
 

under pressure protection. 

2)  The Series 50D dual function controller (Figure 2) provides 
 

over and under pressure protection with both functions 

 

connection to a common sense port.

3)  The Series 50D controller with dual sense ports provides 
 

over or under pressure protection at two different locations. 

 

Each function is connected to it own sense port. This 

 

allows the monitoring of two independent locations for 

 

over pressure or under pressure conditions, each with its  

 

own set point.
