Air Regulators
Type 77
Vacuum Regulator Series
Features
•Single-unit control of pressures from 29" Hg
vacuum to 150 PSI
•Flow capacity up to 40 SCFM
•Dampening action of aspirator tube maintains
stable output pressure
•Output virtually unaffected by changes in
supply pressure
•Can be disassembled and serviced without
removing from line
Description
Bellofram’s Type 77 Vacuum Regulator incorporates a fixed negative 15 PSIG bias spring
to maintain vacuum outputs up to 29" Hg. An
adjustable opposing range spring increases
controlled pressure outputs up to 150 PSIG.
Output pressure droop under varying downstream flow conditions is minimized by use of an
aspirator tube which adjusts the air supply valve
opening in accordance with flow velocity. A
balanced supply valve, utilizing a reinforced rolling diaphragm, keeps regulator output virtually
immune to changes in supply pressure. Stack-up
construction makes the Type 77 easily serviceable, without removing it from the air line.
Applications
The Type 77 provides precise control in subatmospheric pressure applications. Specific uses
include sample collecting systems, air quality
monitoring, parts coating operations, and other
industrial functions requiring controlled system
pressure from 29" Hg vacuum to 150 PSIG.
The regulator may be installed either upstream
or downstream from the vacuum pump.
Upstream installation (Figure 1) is preferred
when rapid evacuation of a vessel or system is
required, because the exhaust capacity of the
pump is normally greater than that of the regulator. In all other applications, the regulator can
be located between the pump and the vessel.

Regulator Options and Accessories
Corrosive Resistant Epoxy Finish
An epoxy paint applied to the body and bonnet of the regulator exterior
surfaces to provide increased corrosion resistance.
Mounting Bracket
Steel (dichromate finish) bracket for side mounting.
Pressure Gauge
Dual scale 2.5 in. (63 mm) gauges. Ranges include 30" Hg – 15 PSIG
(-100 to 100 kPa), 30" Hg – 60 PSIG (-100 to 400 kPa), and 30" Hg – 150
