Failure to follow these instructions or
to properly install and maintain this
equipment could result in an explosion
and/or re causing property damage and
personal injury or death.
Fisher® regulators must be installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance
with federal, state, and local codes, rules
and regulations, and Emerson Process
Management Regulator Technologies, Inc.
(Regulator Technologies) instructions.
If the regulator vents gas or a leak
develops in the system, service to the unit
may be required. Failure to correct trouble
could result in a hazardous condition.
Call a gas service person to service the
unit. Only a qualied person must install
or service the regulator.
Introduction
Scope of the Manual
This manual provides instructions for the installation,
adjustment, maintenance, and parts ordering information
for the 627 Series regulators. These regulators are
usually shipped separate for line installation, although
sometimes they are shipped installed on other
equipment. Refer to the Instruction Manual of the other
equipment for installation and operating instructions.
Description
The 627 Series direct-operated pressure reducing
regulators (Figure 1) are for high and low pressure
systems. These regulators can be used with natural
gas, air, or a variety of other gases. Performance
characteristics vary according to construction.

WARNING
!
Personal injury, property damage,
equipment damage, or leakage due to
escaping gas 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 Specications
section, Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4, 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

those limits. The Type 627R, 627LR,
or 627MR regulator with internal relief
will provide downstream overpressure
protection within the limits given in
the Specications section, Tables 1, 2,
3, and 4. If these limits are exceeded,
additional downstream overpressure
protection must be provided by the user.
Additionally, physical damage to the
regulator could cause personal injury or
property damage due to escaping gas.
To avoid such injury or damage, install
the regulator in a safe location.
Principle of Operation
Refer to Figure 2. When downstream demand
decreases, the pressure under the diaphragm
increases. This pressure overcomes the regulator
setting (which is set by a spring). Through the action
of the pusher post assembly, lever, and valve stem
the valve disk moves closer to the orice and reduces
gas ow. If demand downstream increases, pressure
under the diaphragm decreases. Spring force pushes
the pusher post assembly downward and the valve
disk moves away from the orice.
Product Description
Types 627 and 627H Direct-Operated Pressure
Reducing Regulators—The Types 627 and 627H
regulators provide economical pressure reducing
control for a variety of residential, commercial, and
industrial applications. The regulator pitot tube located
in a high velocity stream provides dynamic boost that
compensates for outlet pressure drop.
Type 627 Long Body—The Type 627 Long Body
regulator can be used as a drop-in replacement for
existing Type 630 installations without the need to
modify piping.
Internal Relief for Type 627R, 627LR, or
627MR Regulator—The Type 627R internal relief performance values were obtained by removing the
disk assembly from the regulator. For the Type 627R,
627LR, or 627MR regulator, the internal relief across
the diaphragm provides overpressure protection in
many applications. As outlet pressures build up above
the start-to-discharge point, the diaphragm moves off
the relief valve seat allowing the excess pressure to
bleed out through the screened vent.
For extra protection, should failure conditions exist
which would prevent normal operation of the regulator

1. For inlet pressure in excess of 1000 psig / 69.0 bar, refer to the maximum body and disk pressure ratings in the Specications section.
2. For pressure settings under 10 psig / 0.69 bar, inlet pressure should be limited to approximately 100 psig / 6.9 bar so the setpoint adjustment can be obtained.
3. The unbalance forces change from the wide-open monitor mode to an active regulator mode such that the Type 627M or 627HM should have a 3/8 inch / 9.5 mm or larger orice.

Installation
Regulator operation within ratings does not preclude
the possibility of damage from debris in the lines
or from external sources. A regulator should be
inspected for damage periodically and after any
overpressure condition. Key numbers referenced
in this section are shown in Figures 7 through 13.
Ensure that the operating temperature capabilities
listed in Specications section are not exceeded.
Note
If the regulator is shipped mounted on
another unit, install that unit according
to the appropriate Instruction Manual.
WARNING
!
A regulator may vent some gas to the
atmosphere. In hazardous or ammable
gas service, vented gas may accumulate
and cause personal injury, death, or
property damage due to re or explosion.
Vent a regulator in hazardous gas service
to a remote, safe location away from air
intakes or any hazardous area. The vent
line or stack opening must be protected
against condensation or clogging.
6. Position the body (key 1) and/or diaphragm spring
case (key 29) so it will not collect moisture or
debris into the screened vent. If the regulator
requires repositioning, refer to the Body Area
Maintenance Procedures and/or the Diaphragm
and Spring Case Area Maintenance Procedures
in the Maintenance section to reposition the
screened vent for the application.

Perform steps 7 through 9 for Types 627M, 627HM,

7. A Type 627M, 627HM, or 627MR regulator requires
a downstream control line. Install the control line

is at least 3/8 inch / 9.5 mm or larger outside

9. A hand valve should be installed in the control line.
This hand valve can be used to throttle down and
dampen outlet pulsations in control pressure which
may cause instability or cycling of the regulator.
Remote Vent Line Installation
All 627 Series regulators have a vent assembly
installed in the 3/4 NPT spring case vent opening.
The vent assembly can be removed to install a
remote vent line if necessary. Remote vent lines
must have the largest practical diameter. It should be
as short as possible with minimum number of bends

Type 627M or 627HM Regulator
De-Icer System Application
For the Type 627M or 627HM regulator de-icer
system, refer to the application shown in Figure 3.
With a large pressure drop across the working
regulator, ice can form within this regulator. The
formation of ice decreases the size of the orice, so
the regulator is unable to supply enough ow to satisfy
the downstream demand. When the downstream
pressure falls below the outlet pressure setting of the
Type 627M or 627HM regulator, the disk assembly
of the Type 627M or 627HM regulator moves off its
orice, permitting alcohol to ow into the main gas
line. The alcohol carried to the main regulator by the
owstream prevents additional ice from forming on the
orice. When normal ow resumes, and as pressure
in the downstream system is restored, the Type 627M
or 627HM regulator shuts off.
Overpressure Protection
Protect the remote vent opening against entrance of
rain, snow, or any other foreign material that may plug

1. The internal relief performance values are obtained by removing the disk assembly.
2. For inlet pressures in excess of 1000 psig / 69.0 bar, refer to the maximum body and disk pressure ratings in the Specications section.
3. For pressure settings under 10 psig / 0.69 bar, inlet pressure should be limited to approximately 100 psig / 6.9 bar so the setpoint adjustment can be obtained.
- Shaded areas indicate maximum inlet pressures allowed during system malfunction only. Table 1 gives the maximum inlet pressure for normal regulator operation.
relieving or pressure-limiting device must be provided
by the user for the Types 627, 627H, 627M, and
627HM regulators if the inlet pressure can exceed the
outlet pressure rating, since these regulators do not
have internal relief.
Types 627R and 627LR regulators provide internal
relief which limits the total outlet pressure buildup over
setpoint. Use Tables 3 and 4 to determine the total
outlet pressure. This internal relief may be adequate
for the application, if not, provide additional pressure
relief or a pressure-limiting device downstream.
