downstream system. Decreased demand increases
the downstream pressure and moves the diaphragm
and stem assembly up, closing the valve disk and
decreasing the gas supply to the downstream system.
Boosting System
The 133 Series incorporates a balancing diaphragm
and a boosting system. When the regulator is locked
up, inlet pressure is registered on the top of the valve
disk and on the bottom of the balancing diaphragm
through registration holes in the top of the cage. Also,
downstream pressure is registered on the bottom
of the valve disk and on the top of the balancing
diaphragm through a passage formed by grooves in
the registration disk and an annular space between the
stem and stem sleeve.
When the valve disk is open, gas flows from the inlet
over the edge of the valve disk to the outlet. Under
the valve disk near the registration disk, there is little
gas flow. The gas pressure near the registration disk
is higher than it is in the flow path where gas velocity

tends to lower the pressure. The higher pressure
near the disk is registered on the top of the balancing
diaphragm through the registration disk and the
annular space between the stem and stem sleeve.
This pressure registered on the top of the balancing
diaphragm aids downward disk travel and
compensates for spring and diaphragm effect. This
improves regulator range ability and performance.

installation

Before installing the 133 Series regulators, inspect it
for shipping damage and be certain that the body and
orifice are clean. Blow out the pipeline to remove pipe
scale and other foreign material.
The regulator may be installed in any position as long
as the flow through the body is the same as indicated
by the flow direction arrow on the body and the vent
opening is unobstructed and protected from the
entrance of rain, ice and other foreign material.
