The Path To Technology Leadership
In 1880 Fisher Controls was founded in
Marshalltown, Iowa, by William Fisher.
Fisher Controls grew steadily over the years,
evolving into an industry leader offering
customers the most complete range of ow
control products in the world.
William Fisher came to America from
England as a boy of 14. As his family
ventured west in the new land, they settled
along the Mississippi in Clinton, Iowa. It
was there, as a mechanic in a small engine
shop for 10 years, that William learned about
steam, the major source of power in the late
1800s. Because of his experience in water
and steam, William, who was 24 at the time,
was invited to Marshalltown to help install
the water works.
The idea of a control device was born in the
engineer ’s mind as a re raged in the city.
Working through the night, William Fisher
hand-throttled the steam-driven pumps to
maintain pressure in the city’s mains. During
that re, he saw a need for a device that would
both control the steam-driven pumps and
maintain them at a constant pressure.
Many months and trials later, William
Fisher was nally satised with one of his
designs and began manufacturing what we
know today as the Fisher Type 1 constant
pressure pump governor. He was granted a
patent in 1884.
One thing remained the same since William
Fisher’s rst Type 1 pump governor: a pledge
to unequalled quality. Today, the brand name
Fisher is synonymous with quality throughout
the world.

Re g u l a t o R s
LP-Gas regulators compensate for variation in tank pressure to supply
propane at a constant pressure to furnaces, burners, home appliances, farm
taps, commercial businesses, and industrial plants. The regulator must
deliver this pressure despite the intermittent use of the appliances and despite
varying flow demands.
In certain instances codes require two-stage regulation and regulator designs
are available that provide the two-stage reduction in one regulator. Many
regulators provide overpressure protection through an integrated internal
relief valve for overpressure protection, also required by some codes. Other
overpressure protection methods which are available include external relief
valves and monitors.

Application: Regulators
Introduction
The regulator truly is the heart of an LPGas installation. It must compensate for
variations in tank pressure from 8 to 250 psig
(0,55 to 17,2 bar) and deliver a constant outlet
pressure of LP-Gas typically at 11-inches wc
(27,4 mbar) to consuming appliances. The
regulator must deliver this pressure despite
the intermittent use of the appliances.
In propane service, NFPA 58 requires TwoStage regulation on all fixed piping systems
that serve 1/2 psig (34,5 mbar) appliance
systems (normally operated at 11-inches wc
(27,4 mbar pressure). Two-Stage regulation
produces a nearly constant pressure to the
appliance and can result in a more efficient
LP-Gas operation for the dealer resulting
in less maintenance and fewer installation
call-backs.
With properly selected regulators, the
internal relief valve provides 2 psig (0,14 bar)
overpressure protection as required by
NFPA 58.
Emerson Process Management is a leading
international supplier of cost-effective
products, services, and solutions used in the
propane industry. Around the world, Fisher®
brand LP-Gas Equipment Distributors offer
quality products as well as applications
engineering, education programs and after
sales service. For any of the products

OVERVIEW
Emerson Process Management’s Fisher®
brand provides the most complete line of
regulators in the industry today. Pressure
reducing regulators supply LP-gas at
a constant pressure for commercial
applications such as furnaces and boilers
in industrial facilities to farm taps and
jurisdictional systems. These facilities
and systems provide several million BTU
per hour to small domestic and appliance
applications. Fisher brand regulators
are designed to the highest standards for
safe and accurate gas delivery, regardless
of variations in supply pressure. This
Application Guide briefly explains the types
of regulators available for these regulators.
Your local LP-Gas Distributor can assist
you in selecting the proper regulators and
accessories for your system.
COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL HIGH- AND
LOW-PRESSURE REGULATORS
Commercial or industrial regulators are
often higher-volume devices that reduce
tank pressures of 250 psig (1,7 bar) to
pressures as low as 11-inches w.c. (water
column) (27 mbar). Flows can be as low
as 1 000 000 BTU/hr or as high as
100 000 000 BTU/hr.
FIRST-STAGE REGULATORS
A two-stage pressure-reducing regulator
system uses two regulators to cut the
supply pressure from the storage tank to
the appliance. The first-stage regulator
supplies a nearly constant inlet pressure
around 8 to 10 psig (0,55 to 0,69 bar) to
a second-stage regulator. This relative
constant pressure allows appliances to work
efficiently. To comply with requirements,
such as NFPA 58, a two-stage system is
used. The second-stage unit does not
have to compensate for widely varying
inlet pressures. The first-stage regulator
is often at the tank and the second stage at
the building or equipment being supplied.
Second-stage pressure can be adjusted as
desired. The first stage must be capable of
higher inlet pressures.
TWO-PSI REGULATORS
A two-psi pressure regulator is used as an
intermediate regulator after the first-stage
regulator. These regulators are designed for
2 psig (0,14 bar) LP-gas regulator systems.
These regulators feature a combination relief
valve and large vent that provide over pressure
protection and exceed UL requirements.
SECOND-STAGE REGULATORS
A two-stage pressure-reducing regulator
system uses two regulators to cut the
supply pressure from the storage tank to the
appliance. The two-stage system supplies
a nearly constant outlet pressure to the
appliance allowing the appliance to work
efficiently. To comply with requirements,
such as NFPA 58, a two-stage system is
used. The first-stage regulator is often at
the tank and the second stage at the building
or equipment being supplied. Second-stage
pressure can be adjusted as desired. The
second-stage regulator reduces the pressure
from a first-stage unit to 11-inches w.c.
(27 mbar) in domestic installations. Vents
are normally screened.
INTEGRAL TWO-STAGE REGULATORS
Integral two-stage regulators combine both
stages into one compact unit and are often
used for installations where piping distance
between the building being served and the tank
is short. Integral two-stage regulators provide
all the advantages of two-stage regulation.
With a two-stage system, you can expect
fewer customer trouble calls due to regulator
freeze-ups from too much water in the gas. A
two-stage regulator reduces these possibilities
in two ways: First, a larger orifice can be
used, making it more difficult for ice to
build-up and block the orifice. Second,
more heat can be transferred through the
walls of two regulators than one.
3. Smallerpipeortubing
Due to the higher pressure between the
first and second-stage units, smaller pipe or
tubing can be used in a two-stage system.
These savings can make a two-stage system
more economical to install than a singlestage system.
4. Constantappliancepressure
With a two-stage system, a first-stage
regulator supplies a nearly constant inlet
pressure of 8 to 10 psig (0,55 bar to 0,69 bar)
to a second-stage regulator. This means that
the second-stage regulator does not have to
attempt to compensate for widely varying
inlet pressures. With more uniform pressure,
appliances work better, and customers are
less likely to experience problems that result
in service calls.
Second-stage and Integral two-stage
regulators have internal pressure relief
valves, which limit the outlet pressure
to 2 psig (0,14 bar) when the seat disc is
removed and the inlet pressure is 10 psig
(0,69 bar) or less as specified in UL 144,
STANDARD for LP-GAS REGULATORS.
WHEN TO USE A TWO-STAGE SETUP
Emerson Process Management recommends
Fisher brand two-stage systems whenever
the following conditions exist:
The 64 Series adjustable high-pressure
regulators offer a wide range of available
pressure ranges. High-pressure regulators
usually reduce tank pressure to an
intermediate pressure for use by another
regulator. They may be used as highpressure regulators on distribution systems
when used in conjunction with rst-stage
downstream regulators.
When equipped with an internal relief valve
(64SR Series), the regulator may be used as a
nal-stage regulator on high-pressure systems.
It may also be used as a rst-stage regulator
when set at 10 psig (0,69 bar) or less.
The 64KB Series has a special
Polytetrauoroethylene (PTFE) diaphragm
protector that makes it suitable for anhydrous
ammonia (NH3) service. The 1/4-inch FNPT
tapped and plugged side outlet can be used
to install a pressure gauge or a hydrostatic
relief valve.
The value of 220 psig (15,2 bar) is designated
strictly for emergency outlet pressure and not for
maximum outlet (operating) pressure. This should
be incorporated to distinguish safety pressures from
operating pressures.

Re g u l a t o R s
Introduction
The 67C Series is a Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) listed high-pressure
regulators that meets a variety of
applications in liquid or vapor service.
The compact body design makes the
67C Series particularly useful in
installations with space limitations.
The basic 67C Series regulators come
equipped with a wrench or handwheel
adjustment (67CW or 67CH Series). The
highly accurate 67CD Series eliminates
the need for a pressure gauge on portable
applications by using calibrated scales on
the spring case, allowing visual adjustment
of outlet pressure. The non-adjustable
67CN Series provides a tamper-resistant
spring case and one of three xed setpoints:
10, 15, or 20 psi (0,69; 1,0; or 1,4 bar).
The 67C Series carries a UL listing as a
high pressure, non-relief regulator. This
series contains brass materials that are not
compatible with anhydrous ammonia service.
