Meeting your needs for downstream
pressure protection
GE Oil & Gas has drawn upon our leading product technology and application expertise to develop
the Mooney Flowgrid Slam Shut regulator. The Slam Shut regulator provides accurate, reliable
secondary downstream pressure protection by shutting off the flow of gas when the sense or
outlet pressure in the system either exceeds or drops below the set pressure point. The device
can stand alone or be integrated with a Mooney Flowgrid regulator.
With the Mooney Flowgrid Slam Shut regulator, you get even more than a quality engineered
product. The Slam Shut regulator is backed by dependable technical support from GE and a free
training video that covers principle of operation, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting,
as well as a 3-D model library. Please contact your local representative for more information.
Because GE has an unflagging commitment to quality and safety, we have secured global PED EN
14382 certification for the Slam Shut regulator for sizes 2-4 inch. The certification was
awarded by DVGW (the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water), one of
the world’s most recognized industry certification bodies and the largest gas and water industry
certification agency in Europe. For more information about other certifications contact your
local representative.
The Flowgrid Slam Shut regulator has earned the trust of our customers around the world.
This advanced technology provides the reliability and security that is necessary for success in
this industry. Because the product’s top entry design allows for easy maintenance, users can be
more productive, which lowers overall costs and yields sustainable energy savings.

1-inch Flowgrid Slam Shut regulator
The 1-inch Slam Shut is a safety shutoff regulator that closes with a linearly acting plug.
The device has bubble-tight shutoff under all rated conditions and requires no minimum
differential for full shutoff. Set points are adjustable and repeatable regardless of flow rate,
inlet pressure, and temperature variations.

Features
■■

Easy to maintain; only two bolts required to remove the entire Slam Shut assembly

■■

Resistant to sticking caused by freezing water or debris in pipeline

■■

Well-contained moving mechanical parts, which are resistant to vibration effects

■■

Excellent performance and accuracy across a large pressure range by changing only the spring

■■

External visual indicator to show when the unit is tripped

■■

Easy to reset; only three caps need to be removed for complete reset

■■

High cycle applications; only one wear component

■■

No pressure differential requirements for full shutoff

The controller assembly for the Slam Shut can be supplied with either over- or under-pressure
shutoff protection in three basic interchangeable configurations:
1.	 Series 50 single function controller (Figure 2), which provides either over- or under-pressure
shutoff protection.
2.	 Series 50D dual function controller (Figure 3), where each function provides either over- or
under-pressure shutoff protection and both functions are controlled by a common sense port
3.	 Series 50DS dual function controller (Figure 3 and 4), where each function is controlled by an
independent sense port. This allows two independent locations to be monitored for an over- or
under-pressure condition, each with its own set point.
A stand alone Slam Shut consists of a Flowgrid body with valve module and cover mounted on
top. The pressure controller is mounted on the side of the valve module.

Principle of Operation for 1-inch Slam Shut
This valve has four critical elements:
1. Closing Element
2. Force Reduction Element
3. Tripping Element
4. Sensing Element
The sensing diaphragm will move the trip shaft
when the line pressure goes too high or too low.
At that point, the trip shaft will disengage the force
reduction element, which allows the rotating shaft
to rotate and the spring to push the plug to the seat,
causing full shutoff.

Principle of Operation for
2-4 inch Slam Shut
During normal operation the latch mechanism holds the closure element (flapper)
open as shown in Figure 5. The sense or
downstream pressure is monitored by the
over-pressure and under-pressure controller
diaphragms, which convert the sense
pressure into a force proportional to the
pressure. The force is counter-balanced
by the set point adjustment spring located
in the spring case. The adjusting screw is
used to vary the spring force and control
the over-pressure set point or the optional
under-pressure set point.
When the downstream pressure either
exceeds or is less than the pressure set
point, the controller diaphragm and spring
move, opening a valve. The open valve
allows inlet pressure to flow to the
actuator diaphragm, (see Figure 6). The
pressure acts on the diaphragm, which
pushes on the pin. The pin moves the
“L”-shaped pawl lever and releases the
flapper lever. When the flapper lever is
released, a set of springs pushes the
flapper valve closed and provides the
initial force to seal the valve.
Once the flapper valve closes the inlet
pressure is cut off as shown in Figure 7.
To return the system to operation the
technician closes the upstream and
downstream block valves to isolate the
system and bleeds off the isolated section.
Repairs are then made as required to
correct the cause of the over- or underpressure condition. A ½-inch (13 mm) hex
on the back side of the valve and front of
the controller allows Slam Shut to be reset
without removing covers. The Slam Shut is
reset by rotating the flapper valve open and
holding it momentarily while the actuation
pressure bleeds off and the latch engages.
