Safety instructions General safety instructions The regulators must be installed, started up and serviced by fully trained and qualified personnel only, observing the accepted industry codes and practi- ces. Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any danger. The regulator complies with the requirements of the European Pressure Equip- ment Directive 97/23/EC.
(Type The regulators in sizes DN 15 to 100 are 42-38) or adjustable (Type 42-34). The re- equipped with a connecting piece (10) for the striction built into the valve body allows for low-pressure control line between the valve limitation of the flow rate.
