Installation
!
Only qualified personnel should install
or service a backpressure regulator.
Backpressure regulators should be
installed, operated and maintained
in accordance with international and
applicable codes and regulations and
Emerson Process Management Regulator
Technologies Inc. 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 backpressure 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
backpressure regulator could result in
personal injury and property damage due
to escaping fluid. To avoid such injury and
damage, install the backpressure regulator
in a safe location.
Clean out all pipelines before installation of the
backpressure regulator and check to be sure the valve
has not been damaged or has collected foreign material
during shipping. Use suitable line gaskets and approved
piping and bolting practices. Install the backpressure
regulator in desired position. However, to ensure self-
draining (from inlet to outlet) the valve should be installed
with the spring case in the upright vertical position. The
arrow on the body indicates flow direction.
