Types EZH and EZHSO
INTRODUCTION
Scope of Manual
This manual provides installation, startup, maintenance,
and parts ordering information for the Types EZH and
EZHSO pressure-reducing regulators and Type PRX pilot
with Type SA/2 pilot supply lter regulator.
Information on other equipment used with this regulator is
found in separate manuals.
Product Description
Types EZH and EZHSO regulators are accurate pilotoperated pressure balanced, soft-seated regulators.
They are designed for use in high pressure natural gas
transmission/city gate stations, large capacity distribution
systems, and power plant feeds. They provide smooth,
reliable operation, tight shutoff, and long life.
Type EZHSO "Spring-to-Open" version could be used
when other overpressure protection options are foreseen,
for example in a monitor conguration. In this case, in
event of failure, the main regulator will stay completely
open, allowing the monitor to take control. The monitor
could be "Spring-to-Close" to ensure a double protection to
downstream pipe.
Available Congurations:
• Type PRX/120:
Outlet pressure range of 1 to 40 bar. The T ype PRX/120
can be used as the pilot on single stage pressure reducing
regulators, as the monitor pilot, or as the working pilot in
wide-open monitor systems.
• Type PRX/120-AP:
Outlet pressure range of 30 to 80 bar . The Type PRX/120-AP
can be used as the pilot on single stage pressure reducing
regulators, as the monitor pilot, or as the working pilot in
wide-open monitor systems.
• Type PRX/125:
Identical to the Type PRX/120, except the restriction screw
is removed. The Type PRX/125 can only be used as the
monitor override pilot on working monitor applications.
• Type PRX/125-AP:
Identical to the Type PRX/120-AP, except the restriction
screw is removed. The Type PRX/125-AP can only
be used as the monitor override pilot on working
monitor applications.
• Type SA/2 Pilot Supply Filter Regulator:
The Type SA/2 pilot supply lter regulator provides a
constant pressure supply to the PRX Series pilot of 3 bar
over the set pressure. The Type SA/2 has an integral
5-micron lter. For easy maintenance a block valve can
be installed to separate the regulator from the pilot.
• Types EZH and EZHSO ("E Body")
Single regulator without slam shut
• Types EZH and EZHSO ("X Body")
Single regulator in a X Body
In case of modication made on a pressure equipment
like cap replacement by a slam shut it's mandatory to
comply to the local codes, rules and regulations.
Contact us imperatively.
• Types EZH OS2 and EZHSO OS2 ("X Body")
Single regulator with integrated slam shut
Pilot Description
Type PRX Pilot
The Types EZH and EZHSO pressure-reducing regulators
can be equipped with a PRX Series pilot mounted on the
main valve for pressure reducing or wide-open monitoring
applications. The PRX Series pressure reducing pilots
have the ability to handle a wide range of setpoints from
1 to 80 bar:
Regulator Options
• Silencer (Figure 22)
The Type EZH silencer (Whisper III) is integrated in the
regulator and is composed of a drilled cage.
The Whisper III silencer is available for DN 25, 50, 80, and
100 and allows a noise attenuation up to 8dB.
• Flow Coefcient Reduction (Figure 16)
The ow reduction is realised by replacement of the
regulator standard seat by a reduction seat ( key 2).
• Type RPE Electrical Pilot Heater (Figure 25)
The Type RPE is used for reheating the gas supplying
pressure reducing regulator pilots. The Type RPE avoids
the inconveniences caused by freezing which can occur
during high pressure drops.
Actuator
The actuator is an integral pressure type. All pressure parts
are designed to resist up to 100 bar. The diaphragm is
strong and can resist to a differential of 100 bar.

Type EZH — Spring-to-Close Version
Type EZH Single-Pilot Regulator
(Figures 9 and 10)
The pilot-operated Type EZH uses inlet pressure as the
operating medium, which is reduced through pilot operation
to load the actuator diaphragm. Outlet pressure (Pd)
opposes the motorization pressure (Pm) in the actuator and
also opposes the pilot control spring.
When the outlet pressure (Pd) drops below the setting of
the pilot control spring, pilot control spring force on the
pilot diaphragm thus opens the pilot valve plug, providing
additional motorization pressure (Pm) to the actuator
diaphragm. This diaphragm motorization pressure opens
the main valve plug, supplying the required ow to the
downstream system.
Any excess motorization pressure on the actuator diaphragm
escapes downstream through the bleed restriction in
the pilot.

A - SENSING PORT M - INLET
Figure 10. Type EZH-OS2 DN 100 (Spring-to-Close Version) Operational Schematic
When the gas demand in the downstream system has
been satised, the outlet pressure (Pd) increases. The
increased pressure is transmitted through the downstream
control line and acts on the pilot diaphragm. This pressure
exceeds the pilot spring setting and moves the Type PRX
diaphragm, closing the Type PRX orice and interrupting
the motorization pressure supply to main valve actuator.
The excess of motorization pressure (Pm) acting on both
the main diaphragm and Type PRX pilot bleeds to the
downstream system through a bleed restriction in the pilot.
For Type EZH DN 100 a check valve (Figure 26) is installed
between outlet pressure and motorization pressure impulse
lines; this valve will protect the diaphragm assembly from
wrong procedures during startup, avoiding a too high pressure
differential between outlet and motorization pressure.
Type EZHSO — Spring-to-Open Version
Type EZHSO Single-Pilot Regulator
(Figures 11 and 12)
CAUTION
The pilot-operated Type EZHSO (Spring-toOpen version) will fail in open position in
case of main valve diaphragm failure or lack
of pressure supply to the pilot (see Table 4
for Failure Mode Analysis).

Figure 11. Type EZHSO DN 25/50/80 (Spring-to-Open Version) Operational Schematic
Type EZHSO uses inlet pressure as the operating medium,
which is reduced through pilot operation to load the
actuator diaphragm (lower chamber). The upper case of
Type EZHSO actuator is lled with pressure coming from
pre-regulator Type SA/2, which reduces inlet pressure (Pu)
to the constant value of outlet pressure plus approximately
3 bar. This pressure opposes the main spring force
that tends to open the regulator. Outlet or downstream
pressure (Pd) opposes the pilot control spring. When
outlet pressure drops below the setting of the pilot control
spring, pilot control spring force on the pilot diaphragm
opens the pilot valve plug, providing additional motorization
pressure (Pm) to the actuator diaphragm.
This diaphragm motorization pressure opens the main valve
plug, supplying the required ow to the downstream system.
Any excess motorization pressure on the actuator diaphragm
escapes downstream through the bleed restriction in the pilot.
When outlet pressure increases over the setting of the
pilot spring, the pilot valve plug will be closed reducing
motorization pressure to the actuator diaphragm; the
pressure in the upper case will force the regulator to close.
For Type EZHSO DN 100 a check valve (Figure 26) is
installed between outlet pressure and loading pressure
impulse lines; this valve will protect the diaphragm
assembly from wrong procedures during startup, avoiding
a too high pressure differential between outlet and
motorization pressure.
EZH and EZHSO Series Adjustment
The adjustment of the regulator is performed by means
of the pilot adjusting screw, which causes variation of the
compression of the control spring.
Adjustment is performed while the regulator is in operation with
the aid of a pressure gauge to monitor downstream pressure.
The shut-off valve downstream of the regulator must not be
completely closed, it is necessary that a small quantity of
gas ows downstream to allow the outlet side to vent when it
is necessary to lower the pressure.
Loosen the Type PRX pilot locknut and turn the adjusting
screw slowly clockwise to increase outlet pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease outlet pressure. Use a
pressure gauge to monitor the outlet pressure until the
desired pressure is reached. No adjustment is needed to

MONITORING SYSTEMS
Monitoring regulation is overpressure protection by
containment, therefore, there is no relief valve to vent to the
atmosphere. When the working regulator fails to control
the pressure, a monitor regulator installed in series, which
has been sensing the downstream and control pressure,
goes into operation to maintain the downstream pressure
at a slightly higher level than normal pressure. During an
overpressure situation, the monitoring system keeps the
customer on line.
Also testing is relatively easy and safe. To perform a
periodic test on a monitoring regulator, increase the outlet
set pressure of the working regulator and watch the outlet
pressure to determine if the monitoring regulator takes over
at the appropriate outlet pressure.
Wide-Open Monitoring Systems
In normal operation of a wide-open conguration, the
working regulator controls the system’s outlet pressure.
With a higher outlet pressure setting, the monitor regulator
senses a pressure lower than its setpoint and tries to
increase outlet pressure by going wide open. If the working
regulator fails, the monitoring regulator assumes control and
holds the outlet pressure at its outlet pressure setting.
Figure 13 shows an upstream wide-open monitor Type EZH
(Spring-to-Close) and a downstream active regulator
Type EZHSO (Spring-to-Open). With this conguration,
in case of regulator main diaphragm failure, it will fail in
open position letting the monitor work properly; in case
of monitor main diaphragm failure, it will fail in close
position guaranteeing a protection against overpressure to
downstream system.

Figure 13. Upstream Wide-Open Monitoring System Operational Schematic for DN 25, 50, and 80
The schematic from Figure 13 represents the conguration
for the DN 25, 50, and 80, for the DN 100 the schematic
remains the same with the remark that a check valve
(Figure 26) must be installed between outlet pressure and
loading pressure impulse lines of the regulator and wide
open monitor as well.
Working Monitor System with PRX Pilot
(Figure 14)
In a working monitoring system, the upstream regulator
requires two pilots and it is always the monitoring regulator.
The additional pilot PRX/125 or PRX/125-AP permits the
monitoring regulator to act as a series regulator to control an
intermediate pressure during normal operation. In this way,
both units are always operating and can be easily checked
for proper operation.
In normal operation, the working regulator controls the outlet
pressure of the system. The monitoring regulator’s working
pilot Type PRX/120 or PRX/120-AP controls the intermediate
pressure and the monitor pilot Type PRX/125 or PRX/125-AP
senses the system’s outlet pressure. If the working regulator
fails, the monitoring pilot Type PRX/125 or PRX/125-AP will
sense the increase in outlet pressure and take control.
CAUTION
The working regulator must be rated for the
maximum allowable operating pressure of the
system because this will be its inlet pressure
if the monitoring regulator fails. Also, the
outlet pressure rating of the monitoring
pilot Type PRX/125 or PRX/125-AP and any
other components that are exposed to the
intermediate pressure must be rated for full
inlet pressure.
Working monitor installations require a Type EZH or EZHSO
main valve with a Type PRX/120 or PRX/120-AP working
pilot, a Type PRX/125 or PRX/125-AP monitoring pilot for
the upstream regulator, and a Type EZH or EZHSO with
the appropriate Type PRX/120 or PRX/120-AP pilot for the
downstream regulator.
Adjusting the monitor regulator is the same as adjusting the
main regulator. Monitor setpoints are set slightly higher than
the main regulator. However, the value of this difference
cannot be determined in advance, as it depends on the
particular characteristics of each application.

INSTALLATION
WARNING
!
Personal injury or equipment damage, due
to 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 characteristics
section and on the appropriate nameplate,
or where conditions exceed any rating of
the adjacent piping or piping connections.
To avoid such injury or damage, provide
pressure-relieving or pressure-limiting
devices to prevent service conditions
from exceeding those limits. Also, be sure
that installation is in compliance with all
applicable code and regulations.
Physical damage to the regulator can break
the pilot off the main valve, causing personal
injury and property damage due to bursting
of pressure-containing parts. To avoid such
injury and damage, install the regulator in a
safe location.
Only personnel qualied through training
and experience should install, operate, and
maintain a regulator.
Before installation, make sure that there is no
damage to, or debris in the regulator.
Make sure that all tubing and piping are clean
and unobstructed.
The regulator must be installed on
horizontal pipeline. For the version with
slam shut, the release relay must be
situated towards the bottom.
Installation according to EN 12186
is recommended.
When assembling with adjacent elements
take care not to create pressure force on
the body. The assembling elements (bolts,
O-rings, anges) should be compatible with
the geometry and working conditions of the
equipment. If the case arises a support must
be used to avoid pressure force on the body
(a support can be installed under the anges).
13
Africa
Types EZH and EZHSO
Connect the actuator to the impulse plug
keeping a minimum distance of 4 x D to a
straight run of the outlet pipe.
In the version with integrated slam shut
connect the safety manometric box (BMS) to
the outlet pipe keeping a minimum distance
of 4 x D to a straight run of the pipe.
In the case of functioning class B for the
slam shut it is necessary to regularly check
the safety manometric box (BMS) diaphragm.
Connect the reject tab to the outlet pipe.
It is recommended to separate the slam-shut
impulse from that of the actuator. Do not
connect impulses on the lower generator line.
It is recommended to install and isolation
tap and a vent tap. These can be useful for
slam-shut settings and verications.
Check that the pilot impulse is connected
and in the case of an isolating tap (not
recommended) that it is open.
No modification should be made to the
structure of the equipment (drilling,
grinding, soldering...).
It is recommended to install a servicing valve
on the outlet pipeline to facilitate adjustments
and bleeding off to the atmosphere.
In the version with integral slam shut, verify
that the safety manometric box (BMS)
and spring correspond to the appropriate
operating conditions on the outlet side of
the regulator.
All Installations (Single Regulator or
Monitor Systems)
A Type EZH or EZHSO regulator bleeds no gas to
atmosphere during normal operation, thus making the
regulator suitable for installation in pits and other enclosed
locations without elaborate venting systems.
This regulator can also be installed in pits subject to
ooding by venting the pilot spring case above the expected
ood level so that the pilot setting can be referenced to
atmospheric pressure.
1. Install the regulator so that the ow arrow on the main
valve matches the ow direction of process uid through
the regulator.
2. Apply pipe compound to the male pipeline threads
before installing a regulator with threaded NPT end
connections. Use gaskets between pipeline and
regulator anges when installing a regulator with
anged end connections. When installing buttweld end
connections, remove trim before welding and make
sure to use approved welding practices. Use approved
piping procedures when installing the regulator.
3. Type PRX pilots have a 1/4-inch NPT vent connection
in the spring case. To remotely vent gas from the
spring case, remove the screened vent, and connect
1/4-inch piping or tubing to the spring case connection.
The piping or tubing should vent to a safe location,
have as few elbows as possible, and have a screened
vent on it’s exhaust. Install the regulator and any
remote vent piping or tubing so that the vent is
protected from condensation, freezing, or substances
that my clog it.
The equipment should not receive any type
of shock, especially the release relay.
The user should verify or carry out a
protection adapted to the environment.
For DN 25 to 80, use long screws or threaded
stems when opening the actuator (warning
compressed spring).
The action of re, seismic and lightening
are not taken into consideration in standard
regulators. If required, a special product
selection and/or specic calculations may be
supplied according to specic requirements.
A regulator may vent some gas to the
atmosphere. In hazardous or ammable gas
service, vented gas may accumulate, causing
personal injury, death, or property damage
due to bursting of pressure-retaining parts.
Vent a regulator in hazardous gas service to
a remote, safe location away from air intakes
or any hazardous location. The vent line or
stack opening must be protected against
condensation or clogging.
CAUTION
To avoid freeze up due to pressure drop
and moisture in the gas, use anti-freeze
practices, such as heating the supply
gas or adding a de-icing agent to the
supply gas.
4. Connect the actuator to the downstream sense
line on a straight run of outlet pipe 8/10 (inside
diameter). Connect the other end of that impulse to
the Type PRX port.
5. Connect the PRX pilot port to the outlet pipeline at
a minimum distance of 4 x D from the regulator’s
outlet ange.
6. For Type EZHSO installation, a vent valve downstream
of the regulator is needed. It should be installed
directly in the Type PRX pilot bleed line connection
(line from port "S" to pipe). A full bore NPS 1/4
ball valve for the vent line is preferred to provide
sufcient ow.

ST ARTUP AND ADJUSTMENT
Pre-startup Considerations
Each regulator is factory-set for the outlet pressure specied
on the order. If no setting was specied, outlet pressure
was factory-set at the mid-range of the pilot control spring.
Before beginning the start-up procedure in this section make
sure the following conditions are in effect:
• Block valves isolate the regulator
• Vent vales are closed
• A bypass, if any, is in operation.
In all cases, check the control spring setting to make sure it
is correct for the application.
TYPE EZH OS2 SLAM-SHUT VERSION
In the case of opening the mechanism box lid:
1.
After arming, never leave the key on the stem
2. Never put your ngers in or near the
reset mechanism area
Note
When using a Type SA/2 pilot supply lter
regulator, the differential pressure across the
regulator must be at least 3 bar for optimum
regulator performance. The Type SA/2 can
be removed if differential pressure across the
regulator is less than 3 bar and inlet pressure
stays at or below 13.8 bar.
Startup
Type EZH Startup:
1. Make sure all block valves, vent valves, and control line
valve(s) are closed.
2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw(s).
3. Slowly open the valves in the following order:
- Inlet block valves.
- Pilot supply and control line valve(s), if used.
4. Crack open the outlet block valve or bypass valve to
allow minimum ow.
5. After adjusting the Type PRX pilot(s) to the desired
pressure setting(s), slowly open the downstream block
valve wide open.
6. Close the bypass valve, if used.
Type EZHSO Startup:
1. Make sure all block valves, except valve R4, vent
valves, and control line valve(s) are closed.
2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw(s).
3. Introduce upstream pressure by slowly opening inlet valve.
4. Slowly open valve R2.
CAUTION
Be sure to slowly introduce pressure into the
system to prevent downstream overpressure
due to potential rapid pressure increase.
Pressure gauges should always be used to
monitor downstream pressure during startup.
Procedures used in putting this regulator
into operation must be planned accordingly
if the downstream system is pressurized by
another regulator or by a manual bypass.
5. Open valve R3.
6. Close valve R4, the regulator Type EZHSO close.
7. Open valve R4.
8. Close valve R3.
9. Slowly open downstream valve, making sure that
there is a constant sufcient pressure drop across the
regulator. If downstream pressure climbs too close to
upstream pressure, the regulator will again fully open.
In this case, start-up procedure needs to be repeated.

Africa
Types EZH and EZHSO
For a single regulator, set the pilot to the desired outlet
(control) pressure according to the Pilot Adjustment procedure.
For a wide-open downstream monitor installation, adjust
the upstream working pilot until intermediate pressure is
higher than the desired setpoint of the monitor pilot. Adjust
the downstream monitoring pilot to the desired monitoring
takeover pressure. Reduce the upstream pilot to the normal
outlet pressure setting.
For a wide-open upstream monitor installation, adjust
the downstream working pilot to a setpoint higher than
the setpoint of the monitor pilot. Adjust the upstream
monitoring pilot to the desired monitoring takeover
pressure. Reduce the downstream pilot to the normal
outlet pressure setting.
For a working monitor installation, adjust the setpoint
of the upstream monitor pilot to the desired maximum
pressure. Adjust the upstream working pilot to the desired
intermediate pressure setting. Adjust the downstream
pilot to a pressure setting slightly above the upstream
monitor pilot pressure setting. Adjust the upstream
monitor pilot to its desired setpoint. Establish nal desired
downstream pressure by adjusting the downstream working
regulator pilot.
10. After adjusting the Type PRX pilot(s) to the desired
pressure setting(s), slowly open the downstream block
valve wide open.

screw initial setting is turned completely out
(counter clockwise).
The Type PRX/125 (upstream monitor pilot in
working monitor installations) does not have
a restrictor screw.
The restrictor screw of the Type PRX pilot can be used if there
is hunting of the set pressure. Slowly turning out the restrictor
screw (counterclockwise) will help steady the set pressure.
Turning out the restrictor screw will slightly decrease set
pressure, so adjustment of the pilot adjusting screw may
be necessary.
The damper screw can be turned in (clockwise) to slow the
response of the regulator. It is advisable that adjustment of
the damper and restrictor screws be limited to 1/4 turn at a
time to observe the response of the regulator(s).

CAUTION
If the pilot bleed control line pressure is shut
down rst, the downstream system may be
subjected to full inlet pressure (Pu).
1. If the pilot setting must be disturbed, be sure to keep
some tension on the spring. This will prevent trapping
inlet pressure during blow down.
2. Slowly close the valves in the following order:
- Inlet block valve,
- Outlet block valve,
- Control line valve(s), if used.
3. Open the vent valves to depressurize the system.

MAINTENANCE
For both Types EZH and EZHSO DN 100, never remove or
disconnect the check valve installed between the two casings.
The regulator parts are subject to normal wear and must be
inspected periodically and replaced as necessary.
The frequency of inspection and replacement depends on
the severity of service conditions and on applicable codes
and regulations.
Use silicone grease for O-rings and diaphragm, molybdenum
graphite grease for spring and mechanical parts.
WARNING
!
To avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of pressure,
isolate the regulator from the pressure
system, and release all pressure from the
pilot and main valve before performing
maintenance operations.
CAUTION
Use proper lifting techniques, when lifting
the upper and lower actuator casings
