Installation

WARNING

!

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 Emerson Process
Management Regulator Technologies,
Inc. 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.

1. The pressure/temperature limits in this installation guide and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.

Types 66, 66Z and 66ZZ

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.

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 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 external 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.

Install Types 66, 66Z and 66ZZ regulators horizontally
with the spring case vertically above the valve body.

Note

It is important that the regulator be
installed so that the vent hole in the
spring case is unobstructed at all times.
For outdoor installations, the regulator
should be located away from vehicular
traffic and positioned so that water, ice
and other foreign materials cannot enter
the spring case through the vent. Avoid
placing the regulator beneath eaves or
downspouts, and be sure it is above the
probable snow level.

With steel bodies, an external control line is required.
Connect DN 20 / 3/4 in. NPT control line to the lower
diaphragm casing connection from the point where the
downstream pressure is to be sensed.

Overpressure Protection

The recommended pressure limitations are
stamped on the regulator nameplate. Some type of

overpressure protection is needed if the actual inlet
pressure exceeds the maximum operating outlet
pressure rating. Overpressure protection should
also be provided if the regulator inlet pressure
is greater than the safe working pressure of the
downstream equipment.

Regulator operation below the maximum pressure
limitations does not preclude the possibility of damage
from external sources or debris in the line. The
regulator should be inspected for damage after any
overpressure condition.

Startup

The 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 outlet pressure, remove the closing
cap or loosen the locknut and turn the adjusting
screw clockwise to increase outlet pressure or
counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Monitor
the outlet 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 regulator from all pressure before
attempting disassembly.
