INTRODUCTION

The type REGAL 3F is a direct-operated, spring set point

pressure regulator, used for supplying industries and

commercial businesses.

As an option, it can be equipped with a slam shut types VSX2

or OS2 which permits the gas ﬂow to be cut off rapidly and

totally in the case of under or over outlet regulator pressure.

OPERATION

The type Regal 3F is a pressure regulator with expansion

achieved by a balanced valve plug and pressure control by a

direct-operated actuator.

The balanced valve plug/stem assures accuracy

independent of inlet and outlet pressures.

Pressure control is achieved through the actuator

diaphragm, which receives, on the one side, the outlet

pressure and, on the other side the spring load, adjusted to

the desired value by the set point spring.

Tight shutoff is ensured by the regulator plug disc pushing

on the oriﬁce.

The regulator can be equipped with a slam shut using a

release relay types VSX2 or OS2.

In the case of temporary over pressure, the diaphragm plate

assembly will travel up the actuator and sit into the cap, without any

leak or deterioration of the components (disconnector).

INSTALLATION

Version with integral slam shut, it is

recommended to install an isolation valve

(R1) and an atmospheric valve (R2), which

are useful for tripping and veriﬁcations.

No modiﬁcation should be made to the

structure of the equipment (drilling, grinding,

soldering...).

It is recommended to install a servicing

valve (R3) on the outlet pipeline to facilitate

adjustments and bleeding off to the

atmosphere.

Verify that the inlet side is protected by an

appropriate device(s) to avoid exceeding the

limits of utilization (PS, TS).

Verify that the limits of utilization correspond

to the appropriate operating conditions.

Version without slam shut, verify that a

pressure limiting device on the outlet side of

the regulator guarantees a pressure limit <

or equal to the actuator PS.

Version with slam shut, verify that the

springs (for VSX2), and the safety

manometric box (BMS) and its spring

(for OS2) correspond to the appropriate

operating conditions on the outlet side of the

regulator.

The equipment should not receive any type

of shocks.

Fire, seismic and lightening are not taken

into consideration for standard regulators.

If required, a special product selection and/

or speciﬁc calculations may be supplied

according to speciﬁc requirements.

CAUTION

All interventions on equipment should

only be performed by qualiﬁed and trained

personnel.

WARNING

The regulator is installed on horizontal

(recommended) or vertical pipeline. Version

with slam shut, the release relay can be

situated towards the bottom or the top.

Installation according to EN12186 or

EN12279 recommended.

Install according to direction of ﬂuid ﬂow

(arrow).

When assembling with adjacent elements

care must be taken not to create pressure

force on the body and the assembling

elements (bolts, O-rings, ﬂanges) should be

compatible with the geometry and working

conditions of the equipment.

If the case arises a support must be used to

avoid pressure force on the body (a support

can be installed under the ﬂanges).

Connect the actuator (ISM) to the impulse at 4D

minimum on a straight run of the outlet pipe.

Version with integral slam shut, connect the

safety manometric box (IS) to the impulse at

4D on a straight run of the outlet pipe.

It is recommended to separate the slam shut

impulse line (IS) from that of the actuator

(ISM). Do not connect the impulses on the

lower generator line.

REGAL 3F

The user should verify or carry out a

protection adapted to the environment.

Version with slam shut, if the outlet side is

subject to the PED and not protected by any

other means, verify that no component is

superior to category 1.
