1. The pressure/temperature limits in this Instructional Manual and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
2. Contact your local Sales Office for details on available constructions.
3. Maximum pressure to prevent damage to internal parts and leakage to atmosphere.
4. End connection clamps and gaskets to be supplied by the user.
Principle of Operation
Pressure in the controlled system (regulator outlet pressure)
registers beneath the diaphragm of the regulator and
opposes the force provided by the predetermined spring
compression. When regulator spring force exceeds
diaphragm force exerted by the outlet pressure, the spring
will keep the valve plug open to permit additional flow to the
downstream system. As downstream demand decreases the
outlet pressure will increase. This increase registers on the
diaphragm and the valve plug moves closer to the orifice to
decrease the flow rate.
Installation
Clean out all pipelines before installation of the regulator
and check to be sure the regulator has not been damaged
or collected foreign material during shipping. The regulator
may be installed in any position desired. However, to ensure
self-draining (from outlet to inlet) the regulator should be
installed with the spring case in the upright vertical position.
The arrow on the body indicates flow direction.
The piping flange to regulator end connection flange clamps
and gaskets are supplied by the user. Clamp gaskets must
be compatible with the system requirements. Install and
tighten clamps to manufacture’s specifications.
Note
It is important that the regulator be installed
so that the vent hole in the spring case is
unobstructed at all times.
