Emerson Y696 Installation Guide
Installation Guide
English – May 2002
Type Y696
Introduction
This installation guide provides instructions for
installation, startup, and adjustment. To receive a
copy of the instruction manual, contact your local
Fisher Sales Ofce or Sales Representative or view
a copy at www.emersonprocess.com/regulators. For
further information refer to: Type Y696 Instruction
Manual, form 5312, D101770X012.
Type Y696 vapor recovery regulators are used to
maintain a constant inlet (blanket) pressure with
the outlet owing to a system whose pressure is
lower than that at the inlet.

Installation
WARNING
!
Only qualied personnel should install
or service a backpressure regulator.
Backpressure regulators should be
installed, operated, and maintained
in accordance with international and
applicable codes and regulations, and
Fisher instructions.
If the regulator vents uid or a leak
develops in the system, it indicates
that service is required. Failure to
take the backpressure regulator out
of service immediately may create a
hazardous condition.
Personal injury, equipment damage,
or leakage due to escaping uid
or bursting of pressure-containing
parts may result if this backpressure
regulator is overpressured or is
installed where service conditions
could exceed the limits given in the
Specications section, or where
conditions exceed any ratings of the
adjacent piping or piping connections.
To avoid such injury or damage,
provide pressure-relieving or pressurelimiting devices (as required by
the appropriate code, regulation,
or standard) to prevent service
conditions from exceeding limits.
Additionally, physical damage to
the backpressure regulator could
result in personal injury and property
damage due to escaping fluid. To
avoid such injury and damage, install
the backpressure 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
anged bodies, use suitable line gaskets and
approved piping and bolting practices. Install the
backpressure regulator in any position desired,
unless otherwise specied, but be sure ow
through the body is in the direction indicated by
the arrow on the body.

Type Y696
Note
It is important that the backpressure
regulator be installed so that the
vent hole in the spring case is
unobstructed at all times. For outdoor
installations, the backpressure
regulator should be located away
from vehicular trafc and positioned
so that water, ice, and other foreign
materials cannot enter the spring
case through the vent. Avoid placing
the backpressure regulator beneath
eaves or downspouts, and be sure it
is above the probable snow level.
Overpressure Protection
Maximum inlet pressures depend upon body
materials and temperatures. Refer to the
nameplate for the maximum inlet pressure of
the valve. The valve should be inspected for
damage after any overpressure condition. Fisher
backpressure regulators are NOT ASME safety
relief valves.
Startup
The backpressure regulator is factory set at
approximately the midpoint of the spring range or
the pressure requested, so an initial adjustment
may be required to give the desired results. With
proper installation completed and relief valves
properly adjusted, slowly open the upstream and
downstream shutoff valves.
Adjustment
To change the inlet pressure, remove the closing
cap or loosen the locknut and turn the adjusting
screw clockwise to increase inlet pressure or
counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Monitor
the inlet pressure with a test gauge during the
adjustment. Replace the closing cap or tighten the
locknut to maintain the desired setting.
Taking Out of Service (Shutdown)
WARNING
!
To avoid personal injury resulting from
sudden release of pressure, isolate
the backpressure regulator from all
pressure before attempting disassembly.
