Installation

!
Only qualified personnel should
install or service a regulator.
Regulators should be installed,
operated, and maintained in
accordance with international and
applicable codes and regulations,
and Emerson Process Management
Regulator Technologies Inc. (Regulator
Technologies) instructions.
If the regulator vents fluid or a leak
develops in the system, it indicates that
service is required. Failure to take the
regulator out of service immediately
may create a hazardous condition.
Personal injury, equipment damage,
or leakage due to escaping fluid
or bursting of pressure-containing
parts may result if this regulator is
overpressured or is installed where
service conditions could exceed the
limits given in the Specifications
section, or where conditions exceed
any ratings of the adjacent piping or
piping connections.
