1. See Table 1 for main valve structural design ratings and Table 3 for pilot ratings.
2. The red, black, purple, red stripe, and black with white stripe springs are only recommended for applications where the maximum inlet pressure can exceed 500 psig (34,5 bar).
3. For differential pressures above 400 psid (27,6 bar d) diaphragm temperatures are limited to 150°F (66°C).
4. These are recommendations that provide the best regulator performance for a typical application. Please contact your local Sales Office for further information if a deviation
