Introduction
The 95B Series bronze, direct-operated, pressure reducing regulators are designed to meet the needs of a variety
of specialty and demanding applications. These compact, large-capacity regulators are available in 1/2, 3/4, 1,
1-1/2, and 2-inch sizes (DN 15, 20, 25, 40, and 50) with NPT screwed end connections. They are designed to
handle pressures up to 350 psig (24,1 bar) and temperatures from -325° to 350°F (-198° to 176°C).

Principle of Operation
The 95B Series (refer to figures 2 and 3) are direct-
operated, pressure reducing regulators. During normal
operation, downstream pressure is registered internally
through the body to the underside of the diaphragm.
When the downstream pressure is at or above the set
pressure, the disk is held against the seat and there is
no flow through the regulator.
When demand increases, downstream pressure drops
slightly allowing the spring to extend, moving the stem
down and the disk away from the seat. This allows flow
through the body to the downstream system. Spring
force is used to regulate outlet pressure.
As the downstream pressure nears the set pressure,
the downstream pressure begins to overcome the
spring force and pushes the disk towards the seat.
When pressure rises slightly above the setpoint, the
downstream pressure overcomes the spring force and
pushes the disk against the seat to stop flow.

The 95B Series regulators may be installed in any
position, as long as flow will be in the same direction
as that indicated by the body arrow. These regulators
protected from anything that might clog them.
