If the regulator is exposed to an
overpressure condition, it should be
inspected for any damage that may have
occurred. Regulator operation below these
limits does not preclude the possibility of
damage from external sources or from debris
in the pipeline.
General Installation Instructions
Before installing the regulator,
• Check for damage, which might have occurred
during shipment.
• Check for and remove any dirt or foreign material,
which may have accumulated in the regulator body.
• Blow out any debris, dirt or copper sulfate in copper
tubing and the pipeline.
• Apply pipe compound to the external threads of the pipe
before installing the regulator.
Note
Applying pipe compound to internal threads
can result in excess pipe compound
collecting in the body of the regulator and
potentially clog registration ports, affect
lockup or downstream equipment.
• Make sure gas ow through the regulator is in the same
direction as the arrow on the body. “Inlet” and “Outlet”
connections are clearly marked.
• When designing a pressure reducing station using
a CS800 Series regulator, make an analysis if it is
necessary to take into account the effects of wind,
snow and temperature to avoid unnecessary load and
movement to the anges of the equipment.
• If needed, a support may be used under the piping and
regulator/slam-shut body to avoid excessive pressure
force on the regulator/slam shut.
Note
For Types CS805, CS825, CS806 and CS826
equipped with the white-colored disk, ensure
that the open end of disk is oriented toward
the downstream as indicated in Figure 7. If
the body direction relative to the actuator is
changed during installation, the orientation
of the white disk must also be removed,
turned and reinstalled to ensure the open
end faces downstream.
Installation Location
• The installed regulator should be adequately protected from
vehicular trafc and damage from other external sources.
• Install the regulator with the vent pointed vertically
down, see Figure 8. 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 ft / 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.
Downstream Control Line Installation
A CS800 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 types with an EN or ET in the type number, connect
downstream control line tubing to the lower casing and run
the tubing a distance of approximately 6 times the outlet
piping diameter as shown in Figures 9, 10 and 11. For best
results, the outer diameter of the control line tubing should
be 3/8 in. / 9.5 mm or larger.
Downstream Control Line Installation with
Integral True-Monitor™
Refer to Figure 10. When installing the Types CS803ET and
CS803EN regulators, connect downstream control line tubing
to the lower casing of the Primary Regulator and run the tubing
a distance of approximately 6 times the outlet piping diameter
downstream of the regulator outlet. Connect a second, separate
downstream control line tubing to the lower casing of the Integral
Monitor and run the tubing a distance of approximately 6 times
the outlet piping diameter downstream of the Integral Monitor
outlet. For best results, the outer diameter of the control line
tubing for both the Primary Regulator and the Integral Monitor
should be 3/8 in. / 9.5 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 8. The outside
end of the vent line should be protected with a rainproof
assembly. The Type 289H should be set 10 in. w.c. / 25 mbar
higher than the outlet pressure setting of the regulator, up to
30 in. w.c. / 75 mbar outlet pressure. For pressure greater
than this, set the Type 289H 0.75 psi / 52 mbar higher
