Installation
WARNING
Only qualied personnel should
install or service a regulator.
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 the regulator vents uid 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 uid
or bursting of pressure-containing
parts may result if this 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 pressurerelieving or
pressure-limiting devices (as required
by the appropriate code, regulation,
or standard) to prevent service
conditions from exceeding limits.
(1)
1. The pressure/temperature limits in this installation guide and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.

Additionally, physical damage to the
regulator could result in personal
injury and property damage due to
escaping uid. 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 external pipe threads. For anged bodies, use
suitable line gaskets and approved piping, and bolting
practices. Install the 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 regulator be
installed so that the vent hole in the
2
spring case is unobstructed at all
times. For outdoor installations, the
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 regulator beneath eaves or
downspouts, and be sure it is above
the probable snow level.
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.

Type 99
!
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 set at the factory for the setpoint
specied on the order or at the midpoint of the spring
range. The allowable spring range is stamped on the
nameplate. If a pressure setting other than specied
is desired, be sure to change the pressure setting
by following the Adjustment section. 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 the
closing cap or loosen the locknut and turn the
adjusting screw clockwise to increase 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)
WARNING
To avoid personal injury resulting from
sudden release of pressure, isolate
the regulator from all pressure before
attempting disassembly.
