Clean out all pipelines before installation of the
regulator and check to be sure the regulator has not
been damaged or collected foreign material during
shipping. The regulator may be installed in any
position desired. However, to ensure self-draining
(from outlet to inlet) the regulator should be installed
with the spring case in the upright vertical position.
The arrow on the body indicates ow direction.
The piping ange to regulator end connection
ange clamps and gaskets are supplied by the
user. Clamp gaskets must be compatible with the
system requirements. Install and tighten clamps to
manufacture’s specications.
The spring case can be pressure loaded to adjust
outlet pressure. An optional tapped spring case,
guide ring seal and sealing washer on the adjusting
screw must be used for these applications. The
loading pressure is connected to the 1/4 NPT
connection in the spring case allowing registration
on the spring side of the diaphragm. Adjusting
loading pressure will proportionally change the outlet
pressure setting of the regulator. A small amount of
mechanical spring load, in addition to the pressure
load, is recommended. Regulator set pressure
achieved from the combination of spring load and
pressure load should not exceed the outlet pressure
ranges listed in Table 2.
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 downstream equipment.
The regulator is factory set to the midpoint of the
spring range. To change the setpoint, refer to the
Adjustment section for directions.
See the section on Clean in Place
or Steam in Place (CIP/SIP). With proper installation
completed and relief valves properly adjusted
(when applicable), slowly open the upstream and
downstream shutoff valves.

The setting of the regulator can be varied within the
pressure range stamped on the nameplate. It is
important to have a nominal amount of downstream
demand while adjusting the setpoint. Typically 5 to
10% of maximum capacity is adequate. To change the
outlet pressure, loosen the locknut (key 17, Figure 4) or
locking lever (key 22, Figure 4) and turn the adjusting
screw (key 18, Figure 4) clockwise to increase outlet
pressure, or counterclockwise to decrease it. Monitor
the outlet pressure with a test gauge during the
adjustment. Tighten the locknut or locking lever to
maintain the desired setting. All regulator springs can
be backed off to provide zero outlet. Available spring
ranges, recommended maximum allowable differential
pressures and spring data are shown in Tables 2 and 3.
Close the upstream shutoff valve. Close downstream
shutoff valve. Open the bleed valve between the
regulator and the downstream shutoff valve. Without
changing regulator spring adjustment, all pressure
between the upstream and downstream shutoff valves
is released through the bleed valve, since the regulator
opens in response to the decreased outlet pressure.
