Model Number
The VRP-SB-PID model number is an alphanumeric combination,
which characterizes your specific unit. This number can be found
on the name tag located on the spring cartridge.
Example: VRP-600-SB-PID-40
VRP = Valve Regulator Pilot/Controller
600 = Maximum allowable control pressure
SB = Single Acting
PID = Proportional, Integral, Derivative Control
40 = Maximum power gas
Each unit has a stainless steel control tag fastened under one
of the bolts of the spring cartridge. The range of the control
spring is stamped on the face side of the tag. The shipping date
and seven-character part number are stamped on the bottom
side of the tag.
