Principle of Operation
See Figure 2. Type CT88 direct-operated
backpressure regulator responds to changes in inlet
pressure. Inlet pressure is registered on the underside
of the diaphragm through an external sensing line that
is connected to the lower diaphragm casing.
As long as the inlet pressure remains below setpoint,
control spring keeps the disk against the seat ring
providing tight shutoff with no ow through the
backpressure regulator.
MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE
20.0
17.0

When inlet pressure rises above the set pressure,
pressure on the diaphragm overcomes the control
spring force. This causes the diaphragm to move
upward, lifting valve stem together with the valve plug
away from seat ring. The ow path through the valve
opens and excess pressure is vented. When upstream
pressure drops below setpoint, the valve closes.

WARNING
!
Personal injury or system damage may
result if this backpressure regulator
is installed, without appropriate
overpressure protection, where service
conditions could exceed the limits given
in the Specications section and/or
backpressure regulator nameplate. Refer
to Overpressure Protection section for
recommendations on how to prevent
service conditions from exceeding
those limits.
Additionally, physical damage to the
backpressure regulator may result in
personal injury or property damage due
to escaping of accumulated uid. To
avoid such injury and damage, install the
backpressure regulator in a safe location.
All vents should be kept open to permit
free ow of gas to the atmosphere.
Protect openings against entrance of
rain, snow, insects or any other foreign
material that may plug the vent.

Do not install the Type CT88
backpressure regulator in hazardous
or ammable service indoors or in
an enclosure where accumulation of
vented uid may occur. In hazardous
or ammable uid applications, vented
uid may accumulate and cause
personal injury, death, or property
damage due to re, explosion and/or
chemical contamination.
Note
To avoid premature wear of internal
parts, it is recommended that the
actuator be oriented vertically as shown
in Figures 1 and 2.
General Installation Instructions
• Vertical installation with the actuator installed
directly above the main valve is recommended for
optimal performance, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
• The use of the bleed plug is recommended for
installations of the actuator mounted above the
main valve.

Page 4
Type CT88
• The unit will operate in horizontal installations with
the actuator on the side, however, this could result
in premature wear of the parts.
• Make sure that ow will be in the same direction as
indicated by the ow arrow on the body.
Note
For proper backpressure regulator
control and operation, make sure that the
ow arrow matches the ow direction.
CAUTION
To protect against precipitation,
make sure that the actuator is
oriented upward.
Some installations, such as areas with heavy
snowfall, may require a hood or enclosure to protect
the backpressure regulator from snow load and vent
freeze over.
1. Before installing the backpressure regulator:
• Check for damage which might have occurred
during shipment.
• Check and remove any dirt or foreign
material which may have accumulated in the
backpressure regulator body.
• Blow out any debris, dirt or copper sulfate in the
tubing and pipeline.
2. Body installed horizontally with the actuator spring
case pointing upward is recommended.
3. Use gaskets between pipeline and regulator
anges when installing a regulator with anged
end connections. Use approved piping procedures
when installing the regulator.
Overpressure Protection
WARNING
!
Personal injury, equipment damage or
leakage due to escaping accumulated
liquid or bursting of pressure-containing
parts may result if this backpressure
regulator is:
- Overpressurized;
- Used with incompatible process uid;
- Installed where service conditions
could exceed the limits given in the
Specications section and on the
appropriate nameplate; or
- Where conditions exceed any
ratings of 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.
Overpressuring any portion of this equipment may
result in equipment damage, leaks in the backpressure
regulator or personal injury due to bursting of
pressure-containing parts. The system should be
inspected after any overpressure condition.
The backpressure control range and maximum inlet
pressure can be found in the Specications section.
Startup
WARNING
!
To avoid possible personal injury,
equipment damage or leakage due
to escaping uid, make certain the
backpressure regulator is installed as
instructed in the Installation section.
Escaping process uid from an open
bleed plug may result in backpressure
regulator damage, personal injury and
property damage. To avoid such injury
and damage, make certain the bleed
plug is properly closed after venting air.
Always open bleed plugs slowly. These
plugs contain no packing, so some uid
weepage will occur when the plugs
are opened. Operating personnel must
protect themselves from exposure to
system uids.
CAUTION
Pressure gauges must always be
used to monitor upstream pressure
during startup.

1. Open the system shutoff valve.
2. Slowly open the outlet block valve.
3. Open the inlet block valve slightly and keep in this
position until pressure is maintained at the desired
setpoint and stabilized.
4. Slowly unscrew the bleed plug to exhaust air that
might have been trapped in the actuator. Screw
and tighten the plug. Exercise caution at all times.
5. If resetting setpoint, then set the regulator
to the desired set pressure according to the
Adjustment procedure.
Adjustment
WARNING
!
Personal injury, equipment damage or
leakage due to escaping uid may result
if adjusting screw and jam nut are not
installed properly.
Always use a pressure gauge to monitor pressure
when making adjustments.
The backpressure regulator spring can be backed
off to 0 psig / 0 bar. Recommended maximum inlet
pressures and temperatures are shown in Table 1.
1. Loosen the jam nut.
2. To increase the setting, turn the adjusting
screw clockwise. Turn the adjusting screw
counterclockwise to decrease the setting.
3. Tighten the jam nut to maintain the desired setting.
Shutdown
WARNING
!
Escaping process uid from an open
bleed plug may result in backpressure
regulator damage, personal injury and
property damage. To avoid such injury
and property damage, make certain
the bleed plug is properly closed after
bleeding process uid.

5. Slowly open bleed plug and make sure all pressure
has been relieved from the control line.
Maintenance
WARNING
!
Personal injury, equipment damage
or leakage due to escaping uid may
result if seals are not properly lubricated
or maintained. Due to normal part
wear or damage that may occur from
external sources, this backpressure
regulator should be inspected and
maintained periodically. The frequency
of inspection, maintenance and
replacement of parts depends upon
the severity of service conditions or
the requirements of local, state and
federal regulations.
Backpressure regulators that have been
disassembled for repair must be tested
for proper operation before being returned
to service. Only parts manufactured by
Emerson should be used for repairing
Fisher™ backpressure regulators. Restart
liquid utilization equipment according to
normal startup procedures.

Note
To protect against reduced performance,
ensure vents are not plugged when
conducting routine maintenance.
• Before maintenance, close the inlet and outlet block
valves and exhaust the pressure in the valve body
and piping as described in the Shutdown section.
• When removing or replacing parts such as the
orice or diaphragm, be careful not to damage it.
• Ensure movable parts can move freely
after reassembly.
• Recommission according to the Installation and
Startup procedures.
• Ensure all connections are tight and check for leaks.
Regular Maintenance
1. Make sure that there is no leakage on the
backpressure regulator and tubing connections.
2. Observe the gauges to make sure that the
pressure being controlled is stable and at the
correct set point.
3. Ensure the pipeline system is clean and free of
foreign materials.
Periodic Maintenance
1. Check Type CT88 backpressure regulator reseat
pressure. Slowly increase the inlet pressure until
the outlet pressure starts to rise, then slowly
decrease the inlet pressure until the outlet
pressure stabilizes. Ensure that the downstream
pressure does not increase.
2. Clean wear parts like the Disk, Diaphragm and
Seat Ring. Make sure to check and replace
deformed and worn out seals when necessary.
3. Check wear parts for damage and replace when
necessary, replace O-rings after disassembly.
