Product catalog summary
Introduction
This manual provides guidance on the installation and maintenance of the 64 and 67C Series high-pressure regulators, which are suitable for LP-Gas, Natural Gas, and Air applications. The 64SR model is used as a First Stage LP-Gas regulator, while the 64KB is designed for anhydrous ammonia service.
Specifications
The regulators come in various configurations with different spring ranges and adjustments. The 64 Series can handle a maximum inlet pressure of 250 psig, whereas the 67C Series can manage a maximum emergency outlet pressure of 50 psig over outlet pressure. The temperature range for the 64 Series is -20°F to 150°F, and for the 67C Series, it is -20°F to 180°F.
Installation
Proper installation is essential to prevent personal injury or property damage. Regulators must be installed according to the flow direction marked on the body, protected from external damage, and positioned to avoid moisture accumulation. For outdoor installations, the vent should be pointed downwards or shielded by a hood.
Operation and Adjustment
Regulators should be adjusted within their specified pressure ranges, and overpressure protection is necessary to safeguard downstream equipment. The Type 64SR includes an internal relief valve for minor seat leakage, but additional external relief valves may be needed.
Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial due to potential wear or damage. Regulators should be replaced after 15 years or sooner if necessary. Only parts from Emerson Process Management should be used for repairs.
Safety Warnings
Failure to adhere to instructions can lead to explosion, fire, or personal injury. Regulators must be installed and maintained by trained personnel, and all vents must remain unobstructed to ensure proper operation.
Inspection and Maintenance Procedures for Gas Delivery Systems
Key Inspection Points:
  • Ensure proper installation to prevent issues such as improper installation, blocked or frozen vents, incorrect or missing regulators, internal or external corrosion, and aging regulators.
  • Regularly check that the regulator vent, vent assembly, or vent tube is free from obstructions like mud, insects, ice, snow, or paint. A clean and properly installed vent screen is crucial for preventing blockages.
  • Replace regulators showing signs of water intrusion in the spring case or evidence of corrosion, which may require removing the adjusting screw and shutting down the gas system for a thorough inspection.
  • Examine regulators connected to the container valve via a solid POL adaptor for corrosion, especially in horizontal mountings.
  • Replace regulators older than 15 years, as they are prone to failure due to wear or corrosion. Refer to Fisher Bulletin LP-32 for guidance on earlier replacements based on service or environmental conditions.
Regulator Repair Guidelines:
  • Regulators disassembled for repair must be tested for proper operation before being returned to service.
  • Use only parts manufactured by Emerson Process Management Regulator Technologies, Inc. for repairing Fisher regulators.
  • Provide the complete type number of the regulator when communicating with the factory for repairs or parts.

64 and 67C Series Regulators Instruction Manual-1

Instruction Manual Form MCK-2133 January 2010 64 and 67C Series Regulators Instruction Manual ! Failure to follow these instructions or to properly install and maintain this equipment could result in an explosion and/or fire causing property damage and personal injury or death. Fisher® equipment must be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with federal, state, and local codes and Emerson Process Management Regulator Technologies, Inc. instructions. The installation in most states must also comply with NFPA No. 54 and 58 standards. Only personnel trained in the proper procedures, codes, standards, and regulations of the LP-Gas industry should install and service this equipment. THINGS TO TELL THE GAS CUSTOMER:   1.                 Point out the regulator’s vent to the customer (or vent assembly or vent tube), and stress that this opening must remain unobstructed at all times. Tell the customer to be sure to check the vent opening after a freezing rain, sleet storm, or snow to make sure ice has not formed in the vent. Show the customer the shutoff valve on the container. The customer should close this valve immediately if gas is smelled, appliance pilot lights fail to stay on or appear higher than usual, or any other abnormal situation occurs. Figure 1. 64 and 67C Series Regulators   3. Tell the customer to call your company to service the     regulator if the regulator vents gas or a leak develops in the     system. Only a qualified gas service person should     install or service the regulator. Do not use the 67C, 64, or 64SR Series regulators in anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service. They contain brass materials that are not compatible with anhydrous ammonia (NH3). Table 1. Available Configurations Scope of the Manual TYPE 64 64SR Description The 64 and 67C Series direct-operated regulators (Figure 1) are designed for high-pressure (pounds per square inch) service and can be used on either vapor applications in LP-Gas, Natural Gas, and Air or liquid LP-Gas applications. Depending upon type, outlet pressure ranges from 3 to 135 psig (0,21 to 9,3 bar). Type 64SR can be used as a First Stage LP-Gas regulator–reducing tank pressure to 10 psig (0,69 bar) for a Second Stage regulator. Type 64KB is the only regulator in this series suitable for anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service. The regulators are normally painted red. DESCRIPTION Basic regulator with four spring ranges from 3 to 100 psig (0,21 to 6,9 bar). Internal relief version with three spring ranges from 3 to 35 psig (0,21 to 2,4 bar). For use with anhydrous ammonia (NH3) with handwheel adjustment and five spring ranges from 3 to 100 psig (0,21 to 6,9 bar). Includes a special diaphragm protector. Basic regulator with wrench adjustment and four spring ranges from 3 to 135 psig (0,21 to 9,3 bar); no relief. Basic regulator with handwheel adjustment. Basic regulator with dial cap adjustment. Basic regulator, factory set with no field adjustment. This manual provides instructions and maintenance for the following high-pressure regu

from collecting moisture, corrosive chemicals, or other foreign material) orient the vent to the lowest possible point on the spring case or point it vertically down, or install the regulator under a protective cover so that it is protected from the elements. Inspect the vent hole regularly to make sure it is not plugged. Spring case vent hole orientation may be changed by rotating the spring case with respect to the body. A 1/4-inch threaded NPT spring case vent may be remotely vented by installing obstruction-free tubing or piping into the vent. Protect the remote vent by installing a screened...

adjustable, is adjusted by loosening the locknut, if used, and turning the adjusting screw or handwheel clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the outlet pressure setting. Re-tighten the locknut to maintain the adjustment position. Failure to do the following could result in personal injury or property damage. Visually inspect the regulator each time a gas delivery is made for:   1. Improper installation;   2. Plugged or frozen vent; First, close the nearest upstream block valve and then close the nearest downstream block valve (when used). Next, open the downstream vent valve....
