Installation

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 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 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.

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. For flanged bodies, use suitable line gaskets
and approved piping and bolting practices. Install the
regulator in any position desired, unless otherwise speci­fied, but be sure flow through the body is in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the body.

Note

It is important that the regulator be installed so
that the vent hole in the spring case is unob­structed at all times. For outdoor installations,
the regulator should be located away from ve­hicular traffic and positioned so that water, ice,
and other foreign materials cannot enter the
spring case through the vent. Avoid placing the
regulator beneath eaves or downspouts, and be
sure it is above the probable snow level.

1. The pressure/temperature limits in this installation guide and any applicable
standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.

2. To use 207 to 340 mbar ( 3 to 5 psig) spring on 3-inch body size, do not use
balancing diaphragm. 207 to 340 mbar (3 to 5 psig) not available with 4-inch.

3. Published ranges are with the spring case pointed up.

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, remove the 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 the 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 regulator from all
pressure before attempting disassembly.
