Proof Test Pressure
All Pressure Retaining Components have been
proof tested per Directive 97/23/EC - Annex 1,
Section 7.4

tional and applicable codes and regulations, and
Fisher 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 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 pressurerelieving 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 regulator
could result in personal injury and property damage due to escaping fluid. To avoid such injury
and damage, install the regulator in a safe location.
Clean out all pipelines before installation of the regulator and
check to be sure the regulator has not been damaged or has
collected foreign material during shipping. For NPT bodies, apply
pipe compound to the male pipe threads. For flanged bodies, use
suitable line gaskets and approved piping and bolting practices.
Install the regulator in any position desired, unless otherwise
specified, but be sure flow through the body is in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the body.
Note
It is important that the regulator be installed so that the
vent hole in the spring case is unobstructed at all times.
For outdoor installations, the regulator should be located
away from vehicular traffic and positioned so that water,
ice, and other foreign materials cannot enter the spring
case through the vent. Avoid placing the regulator beneath eaves or downspouts, and be sure it is above the
probable snow level.

Overpressure Protection
The recommended pressure limitations are stamped on the regulator nameplate. Some type of overpressure protection is needed
if the actual inlet pressure exceeds the maximum operating outlet
pressure rating. Overpressure protection should also be provided if the regulator inlet pressure is greater than the safe working
pressure of the downstream equipment.
Regulator operation below the maximum pressure limitations does
not preclude the possibility of damage from external sources or
debris in the line. The regulator should be inspected for damage
after any overpressure condition.

Operative Temperature Limits
-23.3 to 66°C (-10 to 150°F)

Installation

Only qualified personnel should install or service
a regulator. Regulators should be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with interna-

The regulator is factory set at approximately the midpoint of the
spring range or the pressure requested, so an initial adjustment
may be required to give the desired results. With proper installation completed and relief valves properly adjusted, slowly open
the upstream and downstream shutoff valves.

1. The pressure/temperature limits in this installation guide and any applicable
standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.

Startup

168 Series
Adjustment
To change the outlet pressure, remove the closing cap or loosen
the locknut and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase
outlet pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
Monitor the outlet pressure with a test gauge during the adjustment. Replace the closing cap or tighten the locknut to maintain
the desired setting.

Taking Out of Service (Shutdown)

To avoid personal injury resulting from sudden
release of pressure, isolate the regulator from all
pressure before attempting disassembly.
