CP400 Series
11
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.
Downstream Control Line Installation
A CP400 Series regulator with an EN or ET in the type
number has a blocked throat, an O-ring stem seal and
a 3/4 NPT control line tapping in the lower diaphragm
casing. A regulator with a downstream control line is
used for monitoring installations or other applications
where there is other equipment installed between the
regulator and the pressure control point.
For CP400 Series regulator with an EN or ET in the
type number, connect downstream control line tubing
to the lower casing, and run the tubing approximately
20 inches / 0.5 m downstream. For best results,
the outer diameter of the control line tubing should be
3/8 inch / 9.5 mm or larger.
Downstream Control Line Installation
with Integral Monitor
Refer to Figure 6. When installing the Types CP403ET
and CP403EN regulators, connect downstream
control line tubing to the lower casing of the Primary
Regulator, and run the tubing approximately
20 inches / 0.5 m downstream. Connect a second,
separate downstream control line tubing to the lower
casing of the Integral Monitor, and run the tubing
approximately 20 inches / 0.5 m downstream. For best
results, the outer diameter of the control line tubing for
both the Primary Regulator and the Integral Monitor
should be 3/8 inch / 9.5 mm or larger.
Downstream Control Line Installation
with Slam shut
Refer to Figure 7. When installing the Types CP404ET
and CP404EN regulators, connect downstream
control line tubing to the lower casing of the Regulator,
and run the tubing approximately 20 inches / 0.5 m
downstream. Connect a second, separate downstream
control line tubing to the lower casing of the slam shut,
and run the tubing approximately 20 inches / 0.5 m
downstream. For best results, the outer diameter of
the control line tubing for the Regulator should be
3/8 inch / 9.5 mm or larger. The outer diameter of
the control line tubing for the slam shut should be
1/4 inch / 6.4 mm or larger.
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 5.
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 CP400 Series regulators have a 1/4 NPT screened
vent opening in the spring case of the loading pressure
regulator spring case. If necessary to vent escaping gas
away from the regulator, install a remote vent line in the
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.
For Types with optional Token relief, this optional
low capacity relief is located in the spring case of the
Type 67CPR Loading Pressure Regulator. If necessary
to vent escaping gas away, install a remote vent line
in the spring case tapping of the Type 67CPR Loading
Pressure Regulator as described above.
Periodically check all vent openings to be sure that
they are not plugged.
CP400 Series Outlet pressure ranges are shown in
Table 5. Outlet pressure greater than 5 psi / 0.34 bar
above setpoint may damage internal parts such as
the diaphragm head and valve disk. The maximum
emergency (casing) outlet pressure is 25 psig /
1.7 bar.
Startup
CAUTION
Pressure gauges should always be
used to monitor downstream pressure
during Startup.
Note
For types that include the Integral
Monitor module, refer to the Instruction
Manual for Type TM600 Integral Monitor
for adjustment and maintenance of
the Integral Monitor. For the types that
include the slam-shut module, refer to the
