Installation
Clean out all pipelines before installation of the regulator
and check to be sure the regulator has not been damaged
or has collected foreign material during shipping. For NPT
bodies, apply pipe compound to the male pipe threads.
Startup and Adjustment
The Type 112 restrictor controls the regulator's proportional band (droop) and speed of response. The restrictor
can be used to fine tune the regulator for maximum performance by decreasing the restrictor setting for tighter
control (increased opening speed, decreased closing
speed); or increasing the restrictor setting for maximum
stability (decreased opening speed, increased closing
speed). A lower setting also provides a narrower proportional band for better accuracy. The START position has
the largest flow, is most stable, and easiest for startup,
however, using the START position is not necessary. The
“0” setting has the smallest (minimum) flow passage; at
no point of rotation will the Type 112 restrictor be completely shut off. After initial adjustment, the restrictor does
not need to be adjusted for maintenance or startup.
Taking Out of Service (Shutdown)
To avoid personal injury resulting from sudden
release of pressure, isolate the regulator from
all pressure before attempting disassembly.
Only qualified personnel should install or service
a regulator. Regulators should be installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with
international and applicable codes and
regulations, and Fisher instructions.
If the regulator vents fluid or a leak develops in
the system, it indicates that service is required.
Failure to take the regulator out of service
immediately may create a hazardous condition.
Personal injury, equipment damage, or leakage
due to escaping fluid or bursting of pressurecontaining parts may result if this regulator is
overpressured or is installed where service
conditions could exceed the limits given in the
Specifications section, or where conditions
exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or piping
connections.
To avoid such injury or damage, provide pressurerelieving or pressure-limiting devices (as required
by the appropriate code, regulation, or standard)
to prevent service conditions from exceeding
limits.
Additionally, physical damage to the regulator
could result in personal injury and property
damage due to escaping fluid. To avoid such injury
and damage, install the regulator in a safe
location.
1. The pressure/temperature limits in this installation guide and any applicable
standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
