E0623
This ACE95 Series valve was assembled and preset to
the customer specified pressure and set point. The
outlet pressure range of the valve is stamped on the
nameplate fastened to the upper actuator case. The gas
blanketing set point is the only adjustable feature on
this unit.
1. Use qualified personnel when installing, operating,
and maintaining valves. Before installing, inspect the
valve and tubing for any shipment damage or foreign
material that may have collected. Make certain the
body interior is clean and the pipelines are free of
foreign material. Apply pipe compound only to the male
pipe threads with a screwed body, or use suitable line
gaskets and good bolting practices with a flanged body.
2. Inspect the nameplate on the upper actuator case.
It displays the model number, serial number, a blanket-
ing gas supply pressure range, and the maximum inlet
pressure and set pressure. These must agree with the
system that you are blanketing. The serial number will
be needed in any communication with your Fisher Sales
Representative or the Fisher Sales Office.
3. Clean the gas blanketing supply lines of all dirt and
foreign material before connecting them to the ACE95
Series tank blanketing valve.

4. The valve must be mounted so the actuator case
is horizontal. The valve should be mounted above the
tank. Three connections are required: a) blanketing gas
supply to valve, b) valve outlet to tank, and c) sensing
line to tank.

Piping Considerations

Undersized piping may inadequately
deliver blanketing gas at the specified
inlet pressure under full flow conditions.
This may result in unacceptable perfor-
mance under high demand conditions.
Unnecessarily long or restricted outlet
piping may result in poor set point
control.

Inlet Piping

The blanketing gas supply line should be equipped with
a Number 100 mesh strainer to remove dirt and pipe
scale. Inlet piping must be sized to adequately deliver
