Only qualified personnel shall 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.
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
See Table 2
1. The pressure/temperature limits in this Installation Guide and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
2. When using a Type SA/2 pilot supply lter regulator, the differential pressure across the regulator must be a least 3.1 bar d / 45 psid
for optimum regulator performance.
3. Types PRX and SA/2 Fluorocarbon (FKM) elastomer is limited to -18°C / 0°F.
4. Maximum Operating Differential Pressure is 96.5 bar d / 1400 psid for DN 25 / NPS 1 EZHSO Series.

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.
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.
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
The adjustment of setpoint is performed using the pilot
adjusting screw. To change the outlet pressure, loosen the
jam nut and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase
outlet pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it. Monitor
the outlet pressure with a test gauge during the adjustment.
Tighten the jam nut 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.
