3 INSTALLATION

(See applicable figure)

Many regulators are damaged when first

placed in service because of failure to clean

the connection properly when installed.

Before installation, flange faces or threaded

connections on both the regulator and the

vessel and/or line on which the regulator is

mounted must be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt

and foreign material.

Because foreign materials that pass into and

through regulators can be damaging, the

systems on which the regulator are tested and

finally installed must also be inspected and

cleaned. New systems in particular are prone

to contain foreign objects that inadvertently get

trapped during construction and will destroy

the seating surface when the regulator opens.

The system should be thoroughly cleaned

before the regulator is installed.

The gaskets used must be dimensionally

correct for the specific flanges. The inside

diameters must fully clear the regulator inlet,

outlet, and sense openings so that the gasket

does not restrict flow.

For flanged regulator, draw down all

connection studs or bolts evenly to avoid

possible distortion of the regulator body.

For threaded regulators, use flats on the body

to aid in installation. Use a back-up wrench

when necessary.

1 GENERAL

The intent of these instructions is to acquaint

the user with the storage, installation and

operation of this product.

This regulator should only be used in

accordance with the applicable operating

instructions and within the application

specifications of the purchase order.

These regulators have been tested at the

factory and should be adjusted on site. Contact

the factory or a Emerson Valves and Controls

authorized representative for any questions.

2 STORAGE AND HANDLING

Because cleanliness is essential to the

satisfactory operation and tightness of a

regulator, precautions should be taken during

storage to keep out all foreign materials.

Inlet, outlet, and sense line protectors should

remain in place until the regulator is ready

to be installed in the system. Take care to

keep the regulator inlet absolutely clean. It is

recommended that the regulator be stored

indoors in the original shipping container away

from dirt and other forms of contamination.

Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood

4 ADJUSTMENT

Remove the cap and back off the pressure

adjustment screw to a no set pressure position

(blanketing valve closed) and pressurize the

regulator. If block valves are installed, pressurize

the blanketing valve by opening the block valves

in the following sequence, B3 (sense) first, B2

(inlet) next, then B4 (gauge) and B1 (outlet)

last. Slowly adjust the set pressure adjustment

screw to obtain the desired tank blanket gas

pressure. Clockwise rotation of the pressure

adjustment screw increases tank pressure. The

recommended set pressure range is stamped

on the regulator nameplate. Adjusting the set

pressure higher than the nameplate limit could

prevent the blanketing regulator from closing

Regulators are intended to open and close

within a narrow pressure range. Regulator

installations require accurate design both as

to inlet, discharge, and sense piping. Refer to

International, National and Industry Standards

for guidelines.

Emerson.com/FinalControl VCIOM-01064-EN 18/06

Regulators must be handled carefully and

never subjected to shocks. Rough handling may

alter the pressure setting, deform regulator

parts and adversely affect seat tightness and

regulator performance.

The regulator should never be lifted or handled

using the tubing. When it is necessary to use a

hoist, use the lifting eye(s) on the main regulator

body. If there are no lifting eyes, a chain or sling

should be placed around the main regulator

body in a manner that will insure that the

regulator is in a position to facilitate installation.

5 INLET PIPING

The regulator inlet should be mounted

horizontally directly on a short connection

fitting to the blanketing gas source. This

connection should be unobstructed, and the

regulator should never be installed on a fitting

having a smaller inside diameter than the inlet

connection of the regulator. If a block valve is

used, it should be a full port type valve sufficient

size to not restrict flow through the regulator.

6 DISCHARGE PIPING

The regulator outlet should be mounted as

close as possible to the vessel.

Discharge piping should be simple and direct.

All discharge piping should be run as direct as

is practicable to the point of final release for

blanketing.

The regulator should be properly be supported

to withstand any swaying or system vibrations.

Fittings or pipe having a smaller inside

diameter than the valve outlet connections

must not be used. If a block valve is installed, it

should be a full port type valve sufficient size to

not restrict flow through the regulator.

7 REMOTE PRESSURE

In these regulators, remote pressure sensing

is standard. The remote sense port is marked

“SENSE”. Remove the plug and connect the

remote sense line to this port. The sense line

must be connected to the tank properly away

from discharge piping penetration for stable

operation and must be minimum 1” pipe size.

Insure that the pilot sensing port is within the

system protected by the regulator.

A block valve for shut off in the remote sense

line is optional to facilitate maintenance.

However a closed block valve in the remote

sense line renders the regulator inoperative.

WARNING!

This product is a safety related component intended

for use in critical applications. The improper

application, installation or maintenance of the

regulator or the use of parts or components not

manufactured by Emerson may result in a failure of

the regulator.

Any obstruction due to polymerization, solidification

or solid deposit will affect the safety performance

of this regulator. Methods to reduce such risk

should be taken.

Any installation, maintenance, adjustment, repair

or test, performed on the regulator must be

done in accordance with the requirements of all

applicable Emerson Procedures and Instructions.

The information, specifications and technical data

(the “Specifications”) contained in this document

are subject to change without notice. Emerson

does not warrant that the specifications are

current and assumes no responsibility for the

use or misuse thereof. The purchaser should

verify that there have been no changes to the

specifications prior to use.

8 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always wear proper safety gear to protect

head, eyes, ears, etc. anytime you are near

pressurized regulators.

Never attempt to remove the regulator from a

system that is pressurized.

Never perform maintenance on the regulator

while in service unless the regulator is isolated

from the system pressure. If not properly isolated

from the system pressure, the regulator may

inadvertently open resulting in serious injury.

Remove the regulator prior to performing any

pressure testing of the system.

The safety of lives and property often depends

on the proper operation of the regulator.

The regulator must be maintained according

to appropriate instructions and must be

periodically tested and reconditioned to ensure

correct function.
