Installation
Only qualied personnel should install or
service a backpressure regulator. Backpressure
regulators should be installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with international and
applicable codes and regulations, and Emerson
Process Management Regulator Technologies,
Inc. instructions.
If using a backpressure regulator on a
hazardous or ammable uid service, personal
injury and property damage could occur due to
re or explosion of vented uid that may have
accumulated. To prevent such injury or damage,
provide piping or tubing to vent the uid to a
safe, well-ventilated area or containment vessel.
Also, when venting a hazardous uid, the piping
or tubing should be located far enough away
from any buildings or windows so to not create
a further hazard, and the vent opening should be
protected against anything that could clog it.
Personal injury, equipment damage, or leakage
due to escaping uid or bursting of pressurecontaining parts may result if this backpressure
regulator is overpressured or is installed where
service conditions could exceed the limits
given in the Specications section, or where
conditions exceed any ratings of the adjacent
piping or piping connections.
To avoid such injury or damage, provide
pressure-relieving 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 backpressure
regulator could result in personal injury and
property damage due to escaping uid. To avoid
such injury and damage, install the backpressure
regulator in a safe location.
Clean out all pipelines before installation of the backpressure
regulator and check to be sure the backpressure regulator has
not been damaged or has collected foreign material during
shipping. For NPT bodies, apply pipe compound to the external
pipe threads. For anged bodies, use suitable line gaskets and
approved piping and bolting practices. Install the backpressure
regulator in any position desired, unless otherwise specied,
but be sure ow through the body is in the direction indicated by
the arrow on the body.
Note
It is important that the backpressure regulator
be installed so that the vent hole in the spring
case is unobstructed at all times. For outdoor
installations, the backpressure regulator should
be located away from vehicular trafc and
positioned so that water, ice, and other foreign
materials cannot enter the spring case through
the vent. Avoid placing the backpressure
regulator beneath eaves or downspouts, and be
sure it is above the probable snow level.

For installation of Types 289H, 289HH, and 289L backpressure
regulators, the vent in the spring case must remain plugged or
undrilled in order for the pitot tube to function properly.
Overpressure
Maximum inlet pressures depend upon body materials and
temperatures. Refer to the nameplate for the maximum inlet
pressure of the valve. The valve should be inspected for damage
after any overpressure condition. Fisher® backpressure
regulators are NOT ASME safety relief valves.
Startup
The backpressure 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 (if applicable).
Adjustment
To change the outlet pressure, remove closing cap or loosen the
locknut and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase outlet
pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Monitor the
outlet pressure with a test gauge during the adjustment. Replace
closing cap or tighten the locknut to maintain the desired setting.
Taking Out of Service (Shutdown)
To avoid personal injury resulting from sudden release
of pressure, isolate the backpressure regulator from
all pressure before attempting disassembly.
For the 2 NPT Type 289H backpressure regulators, when changing
from one spring range to another, it is recommended that a new
spring case be used so that the travel stop drive screw will be
positioned correctly for the corresponding spring range.
