• Install the regulator with the vent pointed vertically down,
see Figure 4. If the vent cannot be installed in a vertically
down position, the regulator must be installed under a
separate protective cover. Installing the regulator with
the vent down allows condensation to drain, minimizes
the entry of water or other debris from entering the vent,
and minimizes vent blockage from freezing precipitation.
• Do not install the regulator in a location where there
can be excessive water accumulation or ice formation,
such as directly beneath a downspout, gutter, or roof
line of building. Even a protective hood may not provide
adequate protection in these instances.
• Install the Regulator so that any gas discharge through
the vent or vent assembly is over 3 feet / 0.91 m away
from any building opening.
Regulators Subjected to Heavy
Snow Conditions
Some installations, such as in areas with heavy snowfall,
may require a hood or enclosure to protect the regulator from
snow load and vent freeze over.
Installation with External Overpressure
Protection
If the regulator is used in conjunction with a Type 289H
relief valve, it should be installed as shown in Figure 4.
The outside end of the vent line should be protected with a
rainproof assembly.
The Type 289H is typically set 10-inches w.c. / 25 mbar
higher than the outlet pressure setting of the regulator, up
to 30-inches w.c. / 75 mbar outlet pressure. For pressure
greater than this, set the Type 289H 0.75 psi / 0.05 bar
higher than the outlet pressure setting of the regulator.
Vent Line Installation
The CP200 Series regulators have a 1/4 NPT screened
vent opening in the spring case of the Type 67CP loading
regulator. If necessary to vent escaping gas away from the
regulator, install a remote vent line in the Type 67CP spring
case tapping. Vent piping should be as short and direct as
possible with a minimum number of bends and elbows. The
remote vent line should have the largest practical diameter.
Vent piping on regulators with internal token relief must be
large enough to vent all relief valve discharge to atmosphere
without excessive backpressure and resulting excessive
pressure in the regulator.
Periodically check all vent openings to be sure that they are
not plugged or obstructed.
Outlet pressure ranges are shown in Table 3. The maximum
emergency (casing) outlet pressure is 25 psig / 1.7 bar.
Token Relief
Types with a “T” in the type number, e.g., Type CP200IT
provide an optional small capacity or token relief located in
the Type 67CPR to relieve minor overpressure caused by
thermal expansion or minor nicks in the orice or disk.
Startup
CAUTION
Pressure gauges must always
be used to monitor downstream pressure
during startup. Procedures used in putting
this regulator into operation must be
planned accordingly if the downstream
system is pressurized by another regulator
or by a manual bypass.
If the downstream system is not pressurized by another
regulator or manual bypass valve, use the following
procedure to startup the regulator.
1. Check to see that all appliances are turned off.
2. Slowly open the upstream shut-off valve.
3. Check inlet and outlet pressure for correct values.
4. Check all connections for leaks.
5. Turn on utilization equipment and recheck
the pressure.
Adjustment
To increase the outlet pressure setting of the regulator, the
adjusting screw (key 18, Figure 8) of the loading pressure
regulator must be turned clockwise. This requires loosening
the locknut (key 19). To reduce the outlet pressure setting,
turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise. Retighten the
locknut. A pressure gauge should always be used to monitor
downstream pressure while adjustments are being made.
CAUTION
Do not remove the locknut or adjust the
spring to produce an outlet pressure setting
outside the indicated spring range.
Shutdown
Installation arrangements may vary, but in any installation
it is important that the valves be opened or closed slowly
and that the outlet pressure be vented before venting
inlet pressure to prevent damage caused by reverse
pressurization of the regulator. The steps below apply to the
typical installation as indicated.
1. Open valves downstream of the regulator.
2. Slowly close the upstream shut-off valve.
3. Release of downstream pressure should be automatic
as the regulator opens in response to the lowered
pressure on the diaphragm.
4. Close the outlet shut-off valve.
