Principle of Operation
As long as the outlet (control) pressure is above
the outlet pressure setting, the pilot valve plug or
disk remains closed (Figure 2). Force from the main
spring, in addition to inlet pressure bleeding through
the Type 112 restrictor (the restrictor is integral in
the PRX Series pilots), provides downward loading
pressure to keep the main valve diaphragm and plug
assembly tightly shutoff.
When the outlet pressure decreases below the pilot
outlet pressure setting, the pilot plug or disk assembly
opens. Loading pressure bleeds downstream through
the pilot faster than it can be replaced through the
4
Type 112 restrictor. This reduces loading pressure on
top of the main valve diaphragm and plug assembly.
The force imbalance on the diaphragm allows the inlet
pressure to overcome the loading pressure and main
spring force and open the Type EZR diaphragm and
plug assembly.
As the outlet pressure rises toward the outlet pressure
setting, it compresses the pilot diaphragm against the
pilot control spring and allows the pilot valve plug or
disk close. Loading pressure begins building on the
Type EZR diaphragm and plug assembly. The loading
pressure, along with force from the main spring,
pushes the diaphragm and plug assembly onto the
tapered-edged seat, producing tight shutoff.

WARNING
!
Personal injury, equipment damage or
leakage due to escaping gas 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 Specications
section on page 2 or where conditions
exceed any ratings of the adjacent
piping or piping connections.

To avoid such injury or damage, provide
pressure-relieving 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 break the pilot off the
main valve, causing personal injury and
property damage due to escaping gas.
To avoid such injury and damage, install
the regulator in a safe location.

Type EZR
All Installations
The robust design of the Type EZR allows this
regulator to be installed indoors or outdoors. When
installed outdoors, the Type EZR does not require
protective housing. This regulator is designed
to withstand the elements. The powder paint
coating protects against minor impacts, abrasions
and corrosion.
When installed indoors, no remote venting is required
except on the pilot spring case. This regulator can
also be installed in a pit that is subject to ooding
by venting the pilot spring case above the maximum
possible ood level so the pilot setting can be
referenced at atmospheric pressure.
1. 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. Also,
make sure that all tubing and piping are clean
and unobstructed.
Note
The Type EZR optional inlet strainer is
intended to prevent occasional large
particles from entering the main valve.
If the gas contains continuous particles,
upstream ltration is recommended.
When using an inlet strainer (key 23), do
not use the shim (key 23) and vice versa.
2. Type EZR regulator may be installed in any
orientation, as long as ow through the regulator
matches the direction of the arrow on the main
valve body. However, for easier maintenance,
install the regulator with the bonnet up.
CAUTION
When installing a Type EZR trim package
in an existing E-body, make sure ow is
up through the center of the cage and
down through the cage slots. In some
cases, correct ow path is achieved
by removing the body from the line
and turning it around. If this is done,
change the ow arrow to indicate the
correct direction. Damage may result
if ow is not in the correct direction.
After assembly, check the regulator for
shutoff and leakage to atmosphere.

Install trims only in correct restricted
trim bodies.
3. The standard pilot mounting position is as shown in
Figure 1. Other mounting positions are available.
4. Apply a good grade of pipe compound to the
external pipeline threads for a threaded body or
use suiTable line gaskets for a anged body. 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 regulator.
CAUTION
A regulator may vent some gas to
the atmosphere. In hazardous or
ammable gas service, vented gas may
accumulate and cause personal injury,
death or property damage due to re
or explosion.
Vent a regulator in hazardous gas
service to a remote, safe location away
from air intakes or any hazardous
location. Protect the vent line or
stack opening against condensation
or clogging.
5. A clogged pilot spring case vent may cause the
regulator to function improperly. To prevent plugging
(and to keep the spring case from collecting moisture,
corrosive chemicals or other foreign material) point
the vent down, orient it to the lowest possible point
on the spring case or otherwise protect it. Inspect the
vent regularly to make sure it has not been plugged.
To remotely vent a spring case, remove the vent
and install obstruction-free tubing or piping into the
1/4 NPT vent tapping. Provide protection on a remote
vent by installing a screened vent cap onto the
remote end of the vent pipe. The 161AY Series pilot
has a vent restriction (key 55, Figure 20) to enhance
low ow stability. Do not remove this restriction.
WARNING
!
To avoid freeze-up because of pressure
drop and moisture in the gas, use
antifreeze practices, such as heating the
supply gas or adding a de-icing agent to
the supply gas.

6. As shown in Figure 3, run a supply pressure line
from the upstream pipeline to the restrictor inlet
(use 3/8 NPT outer diameter tubing or larger).
Install a Type 252 pilot supply lter upstream of
the restrictor, if needed, to keep the supply source
from clogging the restrictor or pilot. Inspect and
clean this lter regularly to make sure it has not
been plugged.
7. Install a downstream pressure control line (as
shown in the appropriate view of Figure 3) to the
pilot control line connection. Connect the other
end of the control line at a minimum of 8 to 10 pipe
diameters downstream of the regulator in a straight
run of pipe. Do not place a control line connection in
a turbulent area, such as in or directly downstream
of a swage or elbow. Signicant restrictions in
the control line can prevent proper pressure
registration. When using a hand valve, it should be
a full ow valve, such as a full port ball valve. With
a Type 161EBM, 161EBHM or 161AYM pilot or a
PRX Series pilot, run a downstream exhaust bleed
line to the downstream bleed line connection in the
pilot body assembly.
8. Good piping practices usually require swaging up
to larger downstream piping to obtain reasonable
downstream uid velocity.
Wide-Open Monitor Installations
1. Follow the procedures in the All Installations
section and then continue with step 2 of
this section.
2. Pilot supply for the downstream monitoring regulator
must be obtained between the two regulators as
shown in Figure 4. For sizing purposes, add the
minimum differential pressure for each regulator
together to establish the required pressure drop
across the station.
3. In a wide-open Type EZR monitoring system, system
lockup will be that of the worker regulator on both an
upstream monitor when the upstream pilot exhaust is
piped to the intermediate pressure and a downstream
monitor with upstream pilot exhaust piped to either
intermediate pressure or outlet pressure. With these
congurations, the diaphragm of the monitor regulator
will change position with every load change. On an
upstream monitor with the upstream pilot exhaust
piped to downstream, lockup will occur at the
monitor’s setpoint and the diaphragm of the monitor
regulator will be fully open during normal conditions.

Working Monitor Installations
On working monitor installations, the working monitor
regulator is always upstream and acts as a rst-stage
regulator through the working pilot during normal
operation. This arrangement allows the working
monitor’s performance to be observed at all times.
Then, should the second-stage regulator fail open,
the working monitor regulator assumes the entire
pressure reduction function of the system through the
monitoring pilot.
Use the following procedure when installing a working
monitor system.
1. Follow the procedures in the All Installations
section and then continue with step 2 of
this section.
2. Pilot supply pressure for the downstream
Type EZR regulator must be made directly
upstream of the Type EZR using
intermediate pressure.
3. Table 9 gives the spread between normal
distribution pressure and the minimum pressure at
which the monitor pilot can be set to take over if
the working regulator fails open.
4. Table 4 shows the minimum differential pressure
requirements across an individual regulator.
Because this application uses a rst-stage

and second-stage pressure reduction, add the
minimum differential pressure for each regulator
together to establish the required pressure drop
across the station. Do not exceed maximum pilot
ratings given in Table 3.
For Type PRX Working Monitor
As shown in Figure 5, run a supply pressure line
(use 3/8 NPT outer diameter tubing or larger) from the
upstream pipeline to the inlet (Port S) of the upstream
Type PRX-120 pilot. Install a Type 252 pilot supply
lter upstream of the pilot, if needed, to keep the
supply source from clogging the restrictor in the pilot.
Inspect and clean this lter regularly to make sure it
has not been plugged.
Connect the loading port (Port L) of the upstream
Type PRX-120 pilot to the bonnet of the upstream
Type EZR regulator. Connect the “B” port of the upstream
Type PRX-120 pilot to the “S” port of the upstream
Type PRX-125 pilot. Connect the “A” port (located on the
underside of the pilot) of the upstream Type PRX-120 pilot
to the intermediate pressure between the rst and second
Type EZR regulators as shown in Figure 5.
The “L” port of the upstream Type PRX-125 pilot is
plugged. Connect the “B” port of upstream
Type PRX-125 pilot to the intermediate pressure
between the rst and second Type EZR regulators.
10
Connect the “A” port of upstream Type PRX-125 pilot
downstream of both regulators.
The pilot supply pressure connection for the
downstream Type EZR regulator must be directly
upstream of the Type EZR using intermediate pressure
and connected to the “S” port of the downstream
Type PRX-120. Install a Type 252 pilot supply lter
upstream of the pilot, if needed, to keep the supply
source from clogging the restrictor in the pilot. Inspect
and clean this lter regularly to make sure it has not
been plugged. Connect the loading port (Port L) of the
downstream Type PRX-120 pilot to the bonnet of the
downstream Type EZR regulator. Connect the “A” and
“B” ports of the downstream Type PRX-120 pilot to
downstream pressure.
Startup and Adjustment
Note
Table 10 shows the maximum inlet
and differential pressures for specic
constructions. Use pressure gauges to
monitor inlet pressure, outlet pressure
and any intermediate pressure
during startup.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the Type PRX pilot
during startup, the sense and bleed lines
of the Type PRX should be located on the
same side of the downstream block valve.
Keep sense and bleed lines separate.
Startup for Both Single-Regulator and
Monitoring Installations
1. Make sure all block and vent valves are closed.
2. Back out the pilot adjusting screw(s).
3. For easy initial startup, set the restrictor to the “8”
position. For future startups, the restrictor can be
left in the desired run position.
4. SLOWLY OPEN the valves in the following order:
a. Pilot supply and control line valve(s), if used
b. Inlet block valve
c. Outlet block valve
5. For a 161 Series pilot with Type 112 restrictor,
turn the restrictor(s) to position “2” or to the
desired run position. For a PRX Series pilot, turn
the restrictor screw 1 turn counterclockwise from
fully seated (turn restrictor fully clockwise then
1 turn counterclockwise) and the damper screw
fully counterclockwise.

6. 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
monitor takeover pressure. Reduce the downstream
pilot setting to normal outlet pressure setting.
For a working monitor installation, turn out the
adjusting screw of the downstream pilot, removing
spring tension. Adjust the upstream working pilot
to the desired intermediate pressure setting.
Turn out the adjusting screw of the upstream
monitor pilot, removing spring tension. Turn in
the adjusting screw of the downstream pilot.
Adjust the upstream monitor pilot to the desired
setpoint taking into account the guidelines shown
in Table 9. Establish nal desired downstream
pressure by adjusting the downstream pilot.
Pilot Adjustment
For 161 Series pilots, remove the pilot closing cap
(key 16, Figure 19 or key 22, Figure 20) and, on
161EB Series only, loosen the locknut (key 12,
Figure 19). Turn the adjusting screw (key 11,
Figure 19 or key 35, Figure 20) into the spring case
(key 2, Figure 19 or key 3, Figure 20) to increase the
downstream pressure. Turn the adjusting screw out of
the spring case to decrease the downstream pressure.

- Fully out (counterclockwise) from seated for most
low ows
- One turn out (for ows less than 5% of maximum)
For PRX Series pilots (Figure 26), 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
and replace the pilot closing cap.
The Restrictor and Damper screws on the PRX Series
pilot control the regulator’s proportional band (droop)
and speed of response. Table 7 includes the appropriate
settings for low ow operation. For additional tuning
follow the steps outlined below:
1. Start with the restrictor screw 1 turn
counterclockwise from fully seated (turn restrictor
fully clockwise then 1 turn counterclockwise) and
the damper screw fully counterclockwise.
2. Turn damper screw clockwise until desired
performance is achieved. This reduces the ow
path of the damper. If the damper becomes fully
seated (no longer able to turn clockwise) and the
desired performance has not been achieved, return
the damper screw to the fully counterclockwise position.
The damper screw should not be left in
the fully seated position, as it will lock
the regulator in last position which could
cause incorrect pressure regulation.
3. Turn the restrictor screw an additional turn
counterclockwise from fully seated. This increases
the ow path of the restrictor. If additional tuning
is required, repeat step 2. Follow this method until
desired performance is achieved.
Type 112 Restrictor Adjustment
The Type 112 restrictor controls the regulator’s
proportional band (droop) and speed of response.
The restrictor can be used to ne tune the regulator
for maximum performance by decreasing the restrictor
setting for tighter control (increased opening speed,
decreased closing speed); or increasing the restrictor
setting for maximum stability (decreased opening speed,
increased closing speed). A lower setting also provides a

Low Flow Application Considerations
For stable, low ow operation, other considerations
besides pilot settings should also be addressed.
Installation of an oversized regulator may make low ow
operation difcult. When possible, a smaller-sized
Type EZR should be installed. Reduced capacity trim
reduces relief valve requirements by decreasing the
exhaust bleed backpressure to the pilot that may cause
instability. Separate sense and exhaust lines may also
help at low ow conditions. This feature is provided on
the PRX Series, Types 161EBM, 161EBHM and 161AYM
pilots. Control line taps should be located in straight pipe;
several pipeline diameters (8 to 10 of largest piping on
outlet) downstream of the regulator. These guidelines
have been used to improve station stability at low ow.

Type EZR
Shutdown for Both Single-Regulator and
Monitoring Installations
WARNING
!
If pilot supply pressure is shut down
rst, the downstream system may be
subjected to full inlet pressure.
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. Close the valves shown in Figure 3 or 4, in the
following order:
a. Inlet block valve
b. Outlet block valve
c. Control line valve(s), if used
3. Open the vent valves to depressurize the system.
Maintenance
Regulator parts are subject to normal wear and
must be inspected periodically and replaced as
necessary. Due to the care Emerson takes in meeting
all manufacturing requirements (heat treating,
dimensional tolerances, etc.), use only replacement
parts manufactured or furnished by Emerson. Also,
when lubrication is required, use a good quality
lubricant and sparingly coat the recommended part.
The frequency of inspection and parts replacement
depends upon the severity of service conditions,
applicable codes and government regulations and
company inspection procedures. Table 12 lists various
regulator problems and possible solutions for them.

Converting a Fisher™ E-Body to Type EZR
Remove all trim parts from the main valve and clean
the body interior. Then follow procedure in Assembly
section to convert a Fisher E-body to a Type EZR.
CAUTION
When installing a Type EZR trim package
make sure ow is up through the center
of the cage and down through the cage
slots. In some cases, correct ow path
is achieved by removing the body from
the line and turning it around. If this is
done, change the ow arrow to indicate
the correct direction. Damage may result
Type EZR
Table 12. Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEMPOSSIBLE SOLUTION
Outlet pressure suddenly rises above
setpoint and approaches inlet pressure
Outlet pressure normal at low ow but
falls below setpoint at high ow
Outlet pressure cycles
Gas escapes from pilot spring case • Replace pilot diaphragm assembly
Gas escapes from travel indicator • Replace indicator stem O-ring, if indicator is not desired, convert to a non-travel indicator assembly
Regulator unexpectedly closes or falls
below setpoint
Outlet pressure approaches inlet
pressure when no ow is desired
Regulator will not open
Regulator will not close
High lock-up pressure with slow shutdown • Check for debris on main valve or pilot seat
High lock-up pressure with fast shutdown • Adjust restrictor to a higher setting
Note: If you were unable to solve your problem using this troubleshooting guide, contact your local Sales Ofce.
• If travel indicator is in UP position, check restrictor and pilot supply lter for plugging
• If travel indicator is in DOWN position, check main valve for debris or diaphragm damage
• Check main valve inlet strainer for plugging
• Check inlet pressure at high ow condition
• Check sizing calculations to be sure main valve body is large enough for load
• Check for undersized or restricted control line (use the minimum size given in step 6 of All Installations of the
Type EZR Installation section).
• Adjust restrictor to a lower setting
• Adjust restrictor to a higher setting
• Check control line placement. Make sure it is not located in a turbulent area.
• Make sure there is not a restriction in the control line, such as a needle valve.
• Check pilot for ice. Moisture in the gas can cause ice to form and build up in the pilot, blocking the ow.
Heating the regulator or adding a de-icing agent will reduce the possibility of icing.
• Check main valve O-rings for damage or improper installation
• Check cage and diaphragm surfaces for erosion or trapped debris
• Check pilot valve plug and seat for seating surface damage or debris
• Check pilot for ice
• Check for clogged control line
• Make sure control line is installed and open
• Check for damage to the main valve diaphragm
• On new installations, make sure the control line and pilot supply are properly connected
• Make sure the pilot supply is properly connected
• Check restrictor for clogging
• Check the main valve diaphragm for damage
• Check for a broken control line
if ow is not in the correct direction. After
assembly, check the regulator for shutoff
and leakage to atmosphere.
