1. See Table 1 for main valve structural design ratings and Table 2 for pilot ratings.
2. The black and white, purple, black and red springs are only recommended for applications where the maximum inlet pressure can exceed 20.7 bar / 300 psig.
3. Maximum differential pressures may be lower for applications where cavitation may be present.
4. These are recommendations that provide the best regulator performance for a typical application. Please contact your local Sales Ofce for further information if a deviation from the
standard recommendations are required.
Table 5. Main Valve Maximum Pressure Ratings, Diaphragm Selection Information and Main Spring Selection(1)
Overpressure Protection
The recommended pressure limitations are
stamped on the regulator nameplate. Some type of
overpressure protection is needed if the actual inlet
pressure exceeds the maximum operating outlet
pressure rating. Overpressure protection should
also be provided if the regulator inlet pressure
is greater than the safe working pressure of the
downstream equipment.
Regulator operation below the maximum pressure
limitations does not preclude the possibility of
damage from external sources or debris in the line.
The regulator should be inspected for damage after
any overpressure condition.
Startup
The regulator is factory set at approximately
the midpoint of the spring range or the pressure
requested, so an initial adjustment may be required
to give the desired results. With proper installation
completed and relief valves properly adjusted,
slowly open the upstream and downstream
shutoff valves.
Adjustment
To change the outlet pressure, loosen the jam nut
and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase
outlet pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it.
Monitor the outlet pressure with a test gauge during
the adjustment. Tighten the jam nut to maintain the
desired setting.
Taking Out of Service (Shutdown)
WARNING
To avoid personal injury resulting from
sudden release of pressure, isolate the
regulator from all pressure before
attempting disassembly.
