Introduction
Scope of Manual
This manual provides instructions for installation,
adjustment, maintenance, and parts ordering for the FL
Series regulators.
Description
The FL Series regulators are accurate pilot-operated,
pressure balanced, soft seated regulators designed for
high pressure transmission/city gate, large capacity
distribution systems and power plant feeds. The FL
Series provides smooth, quiet operation, tight shutoff and
long life. The regulator utilizes a main valve actuator, a
Type PRX pressure reducing pilot, and a Type SA/2 pilot

supply pressure regulator. The Type PRX pilot uses inlet
pressure reduced by a Type SA/2 supply pressure
regulator, as loading pressure to operate the main valve
actuator. The outlet pressure is sensed through a
control line on the main valve actuator and also on the
Type PRX pilot diaphragm.
Specifications
The Specifications section gives some general specifi-
cations for the FL Series regulators. The nameplates
give detailed information for a particular regulator as it
comes from the factory.
