Type 75A Water Pressure Regulator
Application
The Type 75A is designed to reduce domestic or
industrial water pressures to a constant pressure,
thus protecting plumbing xtures and meters from
high-pressure surges. As shown in Figure 1, it is selfcontained, requiring no external control line
for operation.
Installation
Check the unit for shipment damage. Clean all foreign
material from the pipelines and regulator interior.
Install the Type 75A in a horizontal line with the spring
case above or below the line, and with ow through
the regulator as indicated by the arrow cast on the
body. Coat the external threads with pipe compound
and draw up the connections tightly but not severely.
If a snap-acting valve (solenoid valve) is used in the
system, the snap-acting valve should be installed
upstream of the Type 75A. The Type 75A may be
damaged by high shutoff pressure if a snap-acting
valve is installed downstream.
Type 75A
Adjustment
One spring for each size regulator allows operation
over an outlet pressure range of 20 to 80 psi (1,4 to
5,5 bar). Maximum inlet pressure is 200 psi (13,8 bar).
Minimum operating differential pressure is 5 psi (0,34 bar).
To change the reduced pressure, loosen the adjusting
screw locknut (key 9) and turn the adjusting screw
(key 8) into the spring case to increase the reduced
pressure, or out of the case to decrease it. Re-tighten
the locknut.

Maintenance
To replace the valve disk (key 13), unscrew the guide
plug (key 3) from the body. The valve disk holder
(key 5) may now be unscrewed from the yoke (key 4). Be
careful not to twist and rupture the diaphragm (key 12).

Note
A piece of hex bar stock can be drilled
out and slipped over the disk holder shaft
to t inside the holder. This simplies
removal of the holder from the yoke.
Use the following sizes of hex bar:
NPS 1/2 (DN 15) body – 7/8-inch (22 mm) hex;
NPS 3/4 (DN 20) body – 1-inch (25 mm) hex;
NPS 1 or 1-1/2 (DN 25 or 40) body –
1-1/4-inch (32 mm) hex; NPS 2 (DN 50)
body – 2-inch (51 mm) hex; NPS 2-1/2 (DN 65)
body – 2-1/2-inch (63 mm) hex.
To replace valve disk, unscrew the disk retaining screw
(key 16), remove old disk (key 13), apply gasket sealer
to new disk and install.
To replace the diaphragm, rst remove tension of the
regulator spring (key 11) by turning out the adjusting
screw (key 8). Remove the bolting that holds the spring
case (key 2) to the body and lift off the casing and
regulator spring. Unscrew the diaphragm nut (key 7)
and diaphragm head (key 6). Replace the diaphragm.
