General information
The gas pressure governors conform to Regulation
(EU) 2016/426, and to the respective EN 88 stan-
dards. The governors are suitable to installation
systems with automatic gas burners including
mixed and combined systems and to industrial
distribution systems.
Technical features
Compensation diaphragm, operating diaphragm
and safety diaphragm: an external breather outlet
pipe is not necessary as the incorporated safety
diaphragm ensures that, in the event of breakage of
the operating diaphragm, no gas leakage (over 70
dm
3
/h) is possible inside the room (in compliance
with par. 6.2.3. EN13611 standard).
Setting
The outlet pressure can be set by means of the set-
screw (2); by turning clockwise this set-screw the
pressure is increased and by turning it anti-clock-
wise the pressure is decrease. The pipe fittings
located upstream and downstream the governor
allow the reading of the relative pressures, passing
from one family of gas to another, choosing the
most suitable spring and adjusting the set-screw
(2). The stabilized pressure should be checked with
a pressure gauge. After setting, replace the upper
cap (1).
Installation
Is suggested to Install the governor with the dia-
phragm positioned horizontally (on horizontal pipes).
Be careful to follow always the direction of gas flow
indicated by the arrow on the governor. Suitable
tools must be used for the governor fitting on the
inlet and outlet hubs. Never effect leverage on the
sleeve of the upper cover when fitting the governor.
For all models with the filter inside, the governor is
best fitted at a comfortable height from the ground
so as to facilitate the filter cleaning (fit always a suit-
able gas filter upstream the governor). Make sure
that the pipes are clean and aligned so the governor
is not under stress. Do not remove the perforated
diaphragm breather cap (3) and do not obstruct the
hole, otherwise the governor will not work. Install
the governor so avoiding contact with plastered
walls. Make sure that the governor is suitable to
the intended use. When the governor is installed
outdoors, we recommend providing protection (e.g.
a canopy) to prevent damage to the product by the
elements (water, etc.).
Maintenance
The governors are completely maintenance-free.
In the event of a breakdown, a general overhaul
and factory testing is recommended. To clean the
filter, simply remove the cover (9) and replace the
filter cartridge (7). To facilitate this operation, we
recommend leaving a clearance of about 400 mm
