Installation Guide
English – May 2002
Type EZR
Introduction
This installation guide provides instructions for installation,
startup, and adjustment. To receive a copy of the instruction
manual, contact your local Fisher Sales
Office or Sales Representative or view a copy at
www.FISHERregulators.com. For further information refer to:
Type EZR Instruction Manual, form 5468, D102600X012.
The Type EZR pilot-operated, pressure reducing regulators are used for natural gas, air, or other non-corrosive
gas applications and include a Type 112 restrictor and a
161EB Series or 161AY Series pilot. For applications
that have high pressure drops, using a Type 161AYM,
161EBM, or 161EBHM monitor pilot will increase the accuracy of the regulator.
P.E.D. Categories
This product may be used as a safety accessory with
pressure equipment in the following Pressure Equipment
Directive 97/23/EC categories. It may also be used outside of the Pressure Equipment Directive using sound
engineering practice (SEP) per table below.

Pilot Type Descriptions
Type 161AY—Low-pressure pilot with an outlet pressure
range from 15 mbar to 0,48 bar (6-inches w.c. to 7 psig).
Pilot bleeds (exhausts) downstream through the sense
(control) line.
Type 161AYM—The monitor version of the Type 161AY
pilot. The pilot bleed (exhaust) is isolated from the
sense (control) line. This pilot is used in monitoring
systems requiring an isolated pilot bleed (exhaust).
Type 161EB—High accuracy pilot with an outlet pressure
range from 0,34 to 24,2 bar (5 to 350 psig). Pilot bleeds
(exhausts) downstream through the sense (control) line.
Type 161EBM—The monitor version of the Type 161EB
pilot. The pilot bleed (exhaust) is isolated from the
sense (control) line. This pilot is used in monitoring
systems requiring an isolated pilot bleed (exhaust).
Type 161EBH—The high-pressure version of the
Type 161EB pilot with an outlet pressure range from
17,2 to 48,3 bar (250 to 700 psig).
Type 161EBHM—The high-pressure version of the
Type 161EBM pilot with an outlet pressure range from
17,2 to 48,3 bar (250 to 700 psig).
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 pressure-containing
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.
1. The pressure/temperature limits in this installation guide and any applicable
standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.

Type EZR
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.
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.
