WARNING
www.fisherregulators.com
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.
To avoid such injury or damage,
provide pressure-relieving or
pressure-limiting devices (as required
by the appropriate code, regulation
or standard) to prevent service
conditions from exceeding limits.
Additionally, physical damage to the
regulator could result in personal
injury and property damage due to
escaping fluid. To avoid such injury
and damage, install the regulator in a
safe location.
Clean out all pipelines before installation of the
regulator and check to be sure the regulator has
not been damaged or has collected foreign material
during shipping. For NPT bodies, apply pipe
compound to the external pipe threads. For flanged
bodies, use suitable line gaskets and approved
piping and bolting practices. Install the regulator in
any position desired, unless otherwise specified,
but be sure flow through the body is in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the body.
It is important that the regulator be
installed so that the vent hole in the
spring case is unobstructed at all
times. For outdoor installations, the
regulator should be located away
from vehicular traffic and positioned
so that water, ice and other foreign
materials cannot enter the spring
case through the vent. Avoid placing
the regulator beneath eaves or
downspouts and be sure it is above
the probable snow level.
