4. A Type 32A pilot has a 1/4-inch NPT vent connection
in the spring case. To remotely vent gas from the spring
case, remove the screened vent, and connect 1/4-inch pip-
ing or tubing to the spring case connection. The piping or
tubing should vent the gas to a safe location, have as few
bends as possible, and have a screened vent on its ex-
haust end. Install the regulator and any remote vent piping
or tubing so that the vent is protected from condensation,
freezing, or any substance that could clog it.
5. Connect a 1/4-inch NPT pilot supply to the upstream
piping.
6. Connect a downstream control line to a straight run of
pipe 4 to 8 pipe diameters from the regulator outlet as
shown in figure 2. If such a distance is not practical, con-
nect the control line away from elbows, swages, nipples, or
any area where abnormal flow velocities occur.
7. Install a hand valve in the control line.
8. Install the other end of the downstream control line to
the 1/2-inch NPT connection in either side of the case body
(key 1, figures 6 or 7).

9. Consult the appropriate instruction manual for instal-
lation of an optional pneumatic or electric remote control-
drive unit. For optional remote pneumatic loading of a Type
32A pilot, make the spring case piping connections just as
they would be made for remote venting.
Prestartup Considerations
Each regulator is factory-set for the output pressure
specified on the order. If no setting was specified, outlet
pressure was factory-set at the mid-range of the pilot
control spring. Before beginning the startup procedures in
this section, make sure the following conditions are in
effect:
D Block valves isolate the regulator
D Vent valves are closed
D Hand valves are closed
D A bypass, if any, is in operation
In all cases, check the control spring setting to make sure
it is correct for the application.
CAUTION
Pilot supply pressure must be introduced
into the regulator before introduction of any
downstream pressure, or internal damage

may occur due to reverse pressurization of

the pilot and main valve components.

Pressure gauges should always be used to

monitor downstream pressure during start-
up. Procedures used in putting this regula-
tor into operation must be planned accord-
ingly if the downstream system is
pressurized by another regulator or by a
manual bypass.

Note
Pilot supply pressure must be at least 15 psi
(1.0 bar) greater than control pressure to
operate the regulator at rated travel.

Although remote loading or contol constructions may

require separate adjustments on associated equipment,
the only adjustment normally necessary on a Type
310A-32A regulator is the pressure setting of the pilot
control spring. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise into
the spring case increases the spring compression and
pressure setting. Turning the adjusting screw counter-
clockwise decreases the spring compression and pressure
setting.

To adjust a standard Type 32A pilot, loosen the locknut (key

4, figure 5), and turn the adjusting screw (key 3, figure 5).
Then tighten the locknut to maintain the adjustment
position.
Startup
1. Open the upstream isolating valve. Open hand valve
A in the external pilot supply line before opening the down-
stream isolating valve (see figure 2).
2. Open the downstream isolating valve for minimum
flow.
3. Slowly open hand valve B in the downstream control
line, while at the same time adjusting the pilot setting, if
necessary.
4. Completely open the downstream isolating valve.
5. Slowly close the bypass valve, if any.
Figure 3. Typical Wide-Open Monitor Installations
2. Connect the contol line of a wide-open monitoring reg-
ulator (figure 3) to downstream piping near the working reg-
ulator control line connection. During normal operation the
wide-open monitoring regulator stands wide open with the
pressure reduction being taken across the working regula-
tor. Only in case of working regulator failure does the wide-
open monitoring regulator take control at its slightly higher
setting.
Prestartup Considerations
Each regulator is factory-set for the outlet pressure
specified on the order. If no setting was specified, outlet
pressure was factory-set at the mid-range of the pilot
control spring. Before beginning the startup procedures in
this section, make sure the following conditions are in
effect:

CAUTION
Pilot supply pressure must be introduced
into the regulator before introduction of any
downstream pressure, or internal damage
may occur due to reverse pressurization of
the pilot and main valve components.
Pressure gauges should always be used to
monitor downstream pressure during start-
up. Procedures used in putting this regula-
tor into operation must be planned accord-
ingly if the downstream is pressurized by
another regulator or by a manual bypass.
Note
Pilot supply pressure must exceed control
pressure by at least 15 psi (1.0 bar) in order
to operate the regulator at rated travel.
Although remote loading or control constructions may
require separate adjustments on associated equipment,
the only adjustment normally necessary on a Type
310A-32A regulator is the pressure setting of the pilot
control spring. Turning the adjusting screw counterclock-
wise decreases the spring compression and pressure
setting. Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise
decreases the spring compression position.
Pilot Adjustment
To adjust a standard Type 32A pilot, loosen the locknut (key
4, figure 5), and turn the adjusting screw (key 3, figure 5).
Then tighten the locknut to maintain the adjustment
position.
Startup
This procedure is to be repeated in turn for each regulator
in the installation.
1. Slowly open the hand valve in the pilot supply line.
2. Very slowly open the upstream block valve, and par-
tially open the downstream block valve for minimum flow.
3. Slowly open the hand valve in the control line while, at
the same time, adjusting the pilot setting if necessary. The
monitoring regulator should be set to take approximately
40 percent of the total pressure drop across both regulators
and the working regulator should be set to take approxi-
mately 60 percent of the total pressure drop.
4. Completely open the downstream block valve.
Type 310A -32A
5. Slowly close the bypass valve, if any.
Shutdown
In any installation it is important that the valves be opened
or closed slowly and that the outlet pressure be vented
before venting inlet pressure to prevent damage caused by
reverse pressurization of the pilot or main valve.
As well as applying to a single-pilot regulator (figure 2), the
steps in this procedure also are valid for a wide-open moni-
toring installation (figure 3) and should be repeated for
each regulator in such an installation.
1. Close the upstream isolating valve.
2. Close hand valve A (figure 2) in the supply line.
3. Close the downstream isolating valve.
4. If the downstream control line taps into the pipe-
line above the downstream isolating valve, open vent
valve C between the regulator and the downstream isolat-
ing valve. Permit all pressure to bleed out of the regulator.
If the downstream control line taps into the pipeline be-
low the downstream isolating valve, close hand valve B.
Then open vent valve C and vent valve D, permitting all
pressure to bleed out of the regulator.
5. Open vent valve E to release any inlet pressure that
may be trapped in the regulator.
Principle of Operation
The regulator inlet pressure enters the pilot through the
external pilot supply line and is utilized as the supply
pressure for the pilot. The setting of the pilot control spring
determines the reduced outlet (downstream) pressure.
In operation, assume the outlet pressure is less than the setting
of the pilot control spring. Pilot control spring force then
overcomes the force resulting from outlet pressure acting on the
bottom diaphragm. The spring pushes the diaphragm plate and
yoke assembly away from the relay seat, opening it and
supplying additional loading pressure to the main valve
diaphragm. When this additional loading pressure exceeds the
force resulting from outlet pressure acting on the main valve
diaphragm plus the force of the main valve spring, the
diaphragm is pushed away from the stationary valve plug. The
throttling sleeve opens wider, and the required gas is supplied
to the downstream system.
5

Type 310A -32A
When gas demand in the downstream system has been
satisfied, the outlet pressure tends to increase. The
increased outlet pressure acting on the bottom diaphragm
of the diaphragm plate and yoke assembly results in a force
that overcomes the pilot spring setting and forces the
assembly toward the relay seat, closing it. The loading
pressure acting on the main valve diaphragm bleeds to the
downstream system through the small hole in the
diaphragm plate and yoke assembly. When rapid main
valve closure is required by unusual control conditions, the
bleed valve opens for increased bleed rate. The force of
increased outlet pressure acting on the main valve
diaphragm plus the main valve spring force overcomes the
force of decreased loading pressure acting on the main
valve diaphragm and moves the throttling sleeve toward
the stationary valve plug to decrease the gas flow to the
downstream system.
The top diaphragm in the pilot acts as a sealing member for
the loading chamber and as a balancing member to the
bottom diaphragm. The two diaphragms are connected by
a machine yoke. Pressure change to the center chamber
has little effect on the positioning of the valve disk.
Maintenance
The regulator parts are subject to normal wear and must be
inspected periodically and replaced as necessary. The
frequency of inspection and replacement depends on the
severity of service conditions and on applicable federal,
state and local codes and regulations.
This section provides instructions for pilot and main valve
maintenance.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of pressure,
isolate the regulator from the pressure
system, and release all pressure from the
pilot and main valve before performing
maintenance operations.
Pilot
This procedure describes how the pilot can be completely
disassembled and assembled. When inspection or repairs
are required, disassemble only those parts necessary to
accomplish the job; then start the assembly at the
appropriate step.

Main Valve
This procedure describes how to completely disassemble
and assemble a main valve. When inspection or repairs
are required, disassemble only those parts necessary to
accomplish the job; then start the assembly at the
appropriate step.
Key numbers refer to figures 6 and 7.
Disassembly
1. Disconnect the loading tubing (key 22, not shown)
from the connection in the base body (key 2). Disconnect
the downstream pressure control line from the connection
in the case body (key 1) and the external supply line from
the pilot.
2. Remove the main valve from the pipeline.
3. Remove the cap screws (key 14), and separate the
case body (key 1) from the base body (key 2).
Note
If a body gasket (key 29) is not present, one
must be installed when a new diaphragm is
installed. Also, if there is a damaged soft
seat inside the sleeve (key 3), order a new
sleeve (key 3), washer or O-ring (key 11),
disk retainer (key 12), disk (key 27), and disk
holder (key 28) to replace an old throttle
sleeve.
4. Slide the sleeve and diaphragm assembly out of the
case body.
5. Inspect the seating area of the sleeve for nicks and
erosion damage. Inspect the diaphragm (key 6) for leaks
or other damage.
6. Remove the cap screw (key 10), disk retainer (key 12),
disk holder (key 28), and O-ring or washer (key 11). Ex-
amine the disk and O-ring or washer for evidence of dam-
age or wear.

Note
If the regulator has restricted capacity trim,
the percentage of full capacity will be
stamped on the outside of the disk retainer.
If this is done, the change should be noted
on the nameplate to avoid confusion.
7. If either the sleeve or diaphragm must be replaced, re-
move the screws (key 13) and diaphragm plate (key 4). Re-
move the split ring (key 7), and slide the lower diaphragm
plate (key 5) off the sleeve. This also exposes the O-ring
(key 9) in the lower diaphragm plate for inspection.
Assembly
Before assembly, be sure all parts are clean. During
assembly, lubricate all O-rings and both diaphragm beads
with a high quality lubricant. Be certain the TFE backup
rings (key 26) are properly installed in the O-ring grooves
in the base body (key 2) and the case body (key 1).
1. Inspect the O-rings (keys 9), and TFE backup rings
(key 26) in the base body (key 2). If damaged, replace with
new parts.
2. Inspect the O-ring (key 9), backup rings (key 26), and
wiper ring (key 19) in the case body. Replace with new
parts if wear or damage is noted.
3. Inspect the O-ring (key 9) in the lower diaphragm plate
(key 5). If damaged, install a new O-ring.
4. Place the split ring (key 7) on the sleeve (key 3), and
insert the sleeve in the lower diaphragm plate.
CAUTION
If the diaphragm in the following step is
installed with the wrong side against the
lower diaphragm plate, the beads become
distorted and the main valve will not shut off
properly.
5. Lubricate both diaphragm beads to facilitate
assembly and sealing of the diaphragm (key 6). Place
the inner bead of the diaphragm on the lower diaphragm
plate with the side marked SPRING SIDE against the
lower diaphragm plate. Add the upper diaphragm plate
Type 310A -32A
(key 4), and install the screws (key 13), tightening them
down evenly. Be sure the inner bead of the diaphragm
does not partially slip out from between the plates.
6. Fold the diaphragm down around the lower diaphragm
plate.
7. Fit the disk (key 27) into the disk holder (key 28).
Install the disk retainer (key 12) on top of the disk, being
sure the leading edge of the disk is properly positioned
around the outside of the retainer and is not pinched under
the retainer. Place the O-ring or washer (key 11) on the
subassembly, and install in the base body (key 2). Secure
with the cap screw (key 10).
8. Coat the gasket surface of the base body (key 2) with
gasket sealer, place the body gasket (key 29) on the base
body, and coat the gasket. Then fit the diaphragm bead
over the machined nose of the base body.
9. Place the spring (key 8) in the lower diaphragm plate.
10. Fasten the two body halves together with the cap
screws (key 14), and tighten hand tight. Lubricating the
threads will make proper tightening easier.
CAUTION
Overtightening the cap screws in step 12
can damage the diaphragm. Do not exceed
the torque value listed in table 2 when tight-
ening the cap screws.
11. Alternately tighten the cap screws on opposite sides
of the unit to evenly compress the gasket. Follow this se-
quence several times until the cap screws will not turn at
the maximum torque given in table 2. If this procedure is
properly followed, the gap between the two body halves
will be uniform all the way around.
12. Connect the external supply line to the pilot.
13. Refer to either the Single-Pilot Regulator or the
Wide-Open Monitor Installation and Startup section to re-
turn the Type 310A-32A regulator to service.
Parts Ordering
Each Type 310A-32A regulator is assigned a serial

Tipo 310A
Instalación
Sólo personal homologado debe instalar o
reparar un regulador. Los reguladores deben
instalarse, operarse y mantenerse de acuerdo
con los códigos y reglamentos correspondientes
y las instrucciones de Fisher.
Si del regulador sale algún líquido o si se pro-
duce una filtración en el sistema, esto indica que
se necesita realizar una reparación. Si el
regulador no es puesto fuera de servicio de
inmediato, puede crearse una situación
peligrosa.
Pueden producirse lesiones personales, daños
a los equipos o filtraciones por escape de líquidos
o explosión de piezas de contención de la presión
TIPO DE LÍQUIDO
si este regulador se somete a presión excesiva
o si se instala en lugares en que las condiciones
1
de funcionamiento pudieran exceder los límites
establecidos en la sección de Especificaciones
o en lugares en que las condiciones excedan
cualquier valor nominal de las tuberías o
conexiones de tuberías adyacentes.
Para evitar tales lesiones o daños, implemente
dispositivos que alivien o limiten la presión (según
lo exija el código, el reglamento o lanorma
correspondiente) para evitar que las condiciones
de funcionamiento excedan los límites.
Además, los daños físicos al regulador podrían
traer como consecuencias lesiones personales
y daños a la propiedad por escape de líquidos.
Para evitar tales lesiones y daños, instale el
regulador en un lugar seguro.
Limpie todas las tuberías antes de instalar el regulador y
verifique que el regulador no haya resultado dañado ni
haya acumulado material extraño durante el trayecto de
envío. En el caso de las carcasas NPT, aplique compuesto
para tuberías al roscado de tubos machos. En el caso
de las carcasas con bridas, utilice juntas adecuadas para
líneas y prácticas aprobadas de instalación de tuberías y
empernado. Instale el regulador en cualquier posición
que se desee, a menos que se especifique lo contrario,
pero asegúrese de que el flujo por la carcasa vaya en la
dirección indicada por la flecha de la carcasa.
