Principle of Operation
A pressure relief valve is a throttling pressure control device
that opens and closes to ensure the inlet pressure does not
rise above a predetermined pressure. Fisher® relief valves
cannot be used as ASME safety relief valves. A backpressure
regulator is a device that controls and responds to changes in
the upstream pressure. It functions the same as a relief valve
in that it opens on increasing upstream pressure.
Relief Valve
As long as the inlet pressure is below the set pressure, the pilot
control spring keeps the pilot valve plug closed. Inlet pressure
passes through the restrictor and registers as loading pressure
on the main valve diaphragm chamber. Force from the main
spring, in addition to pilot loading pressure, provide loading
pressure to keep the main valve diaphragm and plug assembly
tightly shut off. When the inlet pressure rises above the set
pressure, the pressure on the pilot diaphragm overcomes
the pilot control spring and opens the pilot valve plug. The
pilot then exhausts the loading pressure from the main valve
diaphragm chamber. The pilot continuously exhausts gas when
the inlet pressure is above the set pressure. The inlet pressure
unbalance overcomes the main spring force and opens the
diaphragm and plug assembly.
As the inlet pressure drops below the set pressure, the pilot
control spring closes the pilot valve plug and the exhaust to
atmosphere stops. Force from the main spring, along with pilot
loading pressure, pushes the diaphragm and plug assembly
onto the knife-edged seat, producing tight shutoff.
Backpressure Regulator
As long as inlet pressure remains below setpoint, the
pilot control spring keeps the pilot valve plug closed. Inlet
pressure passes through the upper port around the upper
portion of the valve plug and then through the hollow passage
in that valve plug. Force from the main spring, in addition to
pilot loading pressure, provide downward loading pressure to
keep the main valve diaphragm and plug assembly tightly shut
off. When inlet pressure rises above the set pressure, pressure
on the pilot diaphragm overcomes the control spring to close
the upper port and stroke the valve plug to open the lower
port. The pilot exhausts loading pressure from the main valve
diaphragm chamber. Inlet pressure unbalance overcomes the
main spring force to open the diaphragm and plug assembly.
While the main valve is throttling, the upper port of the pilot
stays closed. The pilot exhausts only when it repositions the
main valve. As inlet pressure drops below setpoint, the pilot
control spring overcomes the diaphragm force to stroke the
valve plug down to close the lower port and open the upper
port. Force from the main spring, along with pilot loading
pressure, pushes the diaphragm and plug assembly onto the
knife-edged seat, producing tight shutoff.

Type EZH Relief or Backpressure Regulator
Type EZH
Type EZH Single-Pilot Relief Valve or
Backpressure Regulator
Type EZH Adjustment
The adjustment of setpoint (Figure 7), is performed by means
of the pilot adjusting screw, which varies the compression of
the control spring. Adjustment is performed while the relief
valve or backpressure regulator is in operation with the aid of a
pressure gauge to monitor upstream pressure.
Loosen the Type PRX pilot locknut and turn the adjusting screw
slowly clockwise to increase set pressure and counterclockwise
to decrease set pressure. Use a pressure gauge to monitor
the set pressure until the desired opening pressure is reached.
CAUTION
Personal injury or equipment damage, due
to bursting of pressure-containing parts may
result if this relief valve or backpressure
regulator is overpressured or is installed
where service conditions could exceed the
product and pilot pressure ratings.
CAUTION
When installing Type EZH trim in an existing
Fisher® E-body, damage can result if ow is not
in the correct direction. Look at the body web
to conrm that ow is in the correct direction—
up through the center of the cage and down
through the cage slots. Change the existing
ow arrow if necessary.
After assembly, check for shutoff and leakage
to atmosphere.
2. A Type EZH relief valve or backpressure regulator may
be installed in any orientation, as long as ow through it
matches the direction of the arrow on the main valve body.
3. Apply pipe compound to the external pipeline threads
before installing a relief valve or backpressure regulator
with threaded NPT end connections. Use gaskets between
pipeline and relief valve or backpressure regulator anges
when installing a relief valve or backpressure regulator
with anged end connections. When installing butt weld
end connections, remove trim before welding and make
sure to use approved welding practices. Use approved
piping procedures when installing the relief valve or
backpressure regulator.
Installation
WARNING
!
Personal injury, equipment damage, or
leakage due to escaping gas or bursting of
pressure-containing parts may result if the
Type EZH is installed where its capabilities
can be exceeded or where conditions
exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or
connections. To avoid this, install a Type EZH
relief valve or backpressure regulator where:
• Service conditions are within unit
capabilities (including those in the
Specications section).
• Service conditions are within applicable
codes, regulations, or standards.
Additionally, physical damage to the relief
valve or backpressure regulator could break
the pilot off the main valve, causing personal
injury and property damage due to escaping
gas. To avoid such injury or damage, install
the unit in a safe location.
1. Only personnel qualied through training and
experience should install, operate, and maintain a relief
valve or backpressure regulator. Before installation,
make sure that there is no damage to, or debris in
the main valve body or pilot. Also, make sure that all
tubing and piping are clean and unobstructed.
WARNING
!
When used in relief valve service, the Type EZH
main valve and pilot both exhaust gas. In
hazardous or ammable gas service, personal
injury, death, or property damage may occur
due to re or explosion of vented gas that
has accumulated. To prevent such injury or
damage, provide piping or tubing to vent the
gas to a safe location. The exhaust piping
must be designed and installed to guard
against excessive ow restriction. This piping
must be protected against condensation or
debris that could clog it.
For safety during shutdown, vent valves
are required immediately upstream
and downstream of the main valve on a
backpressure or bypass installation.
4. If system operation during maintenance is required, install
isolating and vent valves as needed.
5. For the Type PRX/182 pilot, if the vent assembly (key 12,
Figure 7) remains in the pilot body (key 1, Figure 7), then
it must be pointed down if possible or otherwise protected.
If the exhaust is to be piped to the main valve exhaust or
remotely vented, remove the vent assembly and install
tubing or piping into the 1/4 NPT pilot exhaust connection.
Protect the open end of the exhaust pipe by installing a
screened vent cap.
4
Type EZH Relief or Backpressure Regulator
6. The Type PRX/182 pilot spring case vent (key 12,
Figure 7) must be kept open to atmospheric pressure.
Protect the vent assembly from icing, moisture, or debris
that may cause blockage, as required. To change the
vent orientation, twist the vent assembly in the spring
case. To remotely vent the pilot spring case, remove the
vent assembly and install tubing or piping into the 1/4 NPT
spring case vent tapping. Protect the open end of the vent
line by installing a screened vent cap.
7. The Type PRX pilot connections are 1/4 NPT. Connect
the inlet control (sense) line from the “A” port, Figure 6
(key 47) on the bottom of the PRX Series pilot to a straight
run of pipe 6 to 10 pipe diameters from the relief valve or
backpressure regulator inlet as shown in Figure 3 using
3/8-inch / 9.5 mm or larger outside diameter tubing. If such
a distance is not practical, connect the control line away
from elbows, swages, nipples, or any area where abnormal
ow velocities occur.
Startup and Shutdown
CAUTION
If pressure is introduced rst to the main
valve before the pilot, the main valve may
go wide-open and subject the downstream
system to full inlet pressure.
Shutdown
1. Close upstream block valve rst and then close the
downstream block valve.
2. Open downstream and upstream vent valves
(not shown).
Type PRX/182 Pilot Adjustment
For PRX Series pilots (Figure 7), loosen locknut
(key 2) and turn the adjusting screw into the spring case
to increase (or out of the spring case to decrease) the
downstream pressure. When the required downstream
pressure is maintained for several minutes, tighten the
locknut to lock the adjusting screw in position.
WARNING
!
Avoid personal injury or damage to property
from sudden release of pressure or
uncontrolled gas or other process uid. Before
starting to disassemble, carefully release
all pressures according to the appropriate
shutdown procedure. Use a gauge to monitor
relief (inlet) pressure while releasing it.
CAUTION
Note
The maximum inlet pressure for specic
constructions are given in Table 6. Use a
pressure gauge to monitor inlet pressure
during startup.

Use proper lifting techniques, when lifting the
upper and lower actuator casings (keys 11
and 5) off the Type EZH body (key 1). The
actuator assembly weighs more than
100 pounds / 45 kg.
Customer cannot use another type of eyebolt
in the regulator. Only Regulator Technologies
parts can be used to repair the unit.
Eye bolts are installed to aid in the handling
and installation of the Regulator Assembly
only. Do not attempt to lift more weight than
the regulator with these eye bolts.
Maintenance
Relief valve or backpressure regulator parts are subject
to normal wear and must be inspected periodically and
replaced as necessary. Due to the care Fisher® takes in
meeting all manufacturing requirements (heat treating,
dimensional tolerances, etc.), use only replacement parts
manufactured or furnished by Fisher. Also when lubrication
is required, use a good quality lubricant and sparingly coat
the recommended parts.
The frequency of inspection and replacement depends upon
the severity of service conditions and upon applicable codes,
government regulations, and company standards.

Note
When tightening cap screws (key 21) arranged
in a circular pattern, alternate the tightening of
each fastener with the fastener directly across
from it using a “star” crisscross pattern
for ve times, until proper specied torque
is achieved. Each time around, when all
screws are tightened to the required torque,
the diaphragm will compress a little until the
plates are in direct, metal-to-metal, contact. It
will take at least ve times around before this
happens. Only then will the applied torque on
each screw remain at the required value.
11. Carefully lift the lower actuator casing assembly (key 5)
