66 Series Direct-Operated Regulators and Vacuum Service Equipment - 1

66 Series Direct-Operated Regulators and Vacuum Service Equipment Figure 1. Exterior of Type 66 or 66Z Regulator Introduction Fisher™ 66 Series direct-operated pressure-reducing regulators are widely used in burner control, tank blanketing systems and other applications where precise control of low-pressure industrial gases is needed, while 66 Series direct-operated vacuum service equipment comes in both vacuum regulator and vacuum breaker constructions. These products differ in pressure capabilities and construction (Figures 1 through 4). Features • Sensitive Response to Pressure Changes— Minimum lockup at high as well as low inlet pressures is provided on all regulators by a balancing diaphragm that reduces unbalanced forces acting on valve plug. • Seat Protection without Sacrifice in Shutoff Capability—Retainer (Figure 2) of standard Type 66, 66Z or 66ZZ valve plug assembly closes against the orifice before assembly can over travel and thus over-compress O-ring. • Tank Blanketing Capability—Maximum sensitivity and low outlet pressure accuracy make this an ideal regulator for tank blanketing (padding) applications. • Accuracy—Pitot tube of Type 66, 66Z, or 66ZZ standard cast iron regulator registers body outlet pressure from point of highest velocity, creating a dynamic boost (Figure 5 or 6) that helps provide a more nearly constant downstream pressure and rapid adjustment to small demand changes. • Application Flexibility—Steel and stainless steel bodies are available for increased resistance to piping stresses or whenever dictated by local codes. External registration is standard or optional depending on construction for wherev

CONTROL SPRING VALVE STEM VALVE SKIRT EXTERNAL CONTROL LINE SEAT RING inlet pressure outlet pressure atmospheric pressure Figure 3. Standard Steel Body Operational Schematic Principle of Operation In the cast iron Type 66 regulator, a pitot tube senses outlet pressure. In a steel Type 66 regulator, an external control line senses outlet pressure. Both pressure-sensing methods register the outlet pressure under the main diaphragm. When increased downstream demand lowers the outlet pressure, the lower pressure under the main diaphragm causes the regulator main spring and valve plug and stem...

66 Series Installation A 66 Series regulator or breaker should be installed horizontally with the diaphragm casings vertical above the body. Other orientations will change the setpoint and outlet pressure range due to the weight of the internal parts. Typical installations are shown in Figures 8 through 10. To obtain the maximum flow capacities in some instances, outlet piping will have to be swaged up above the body sizes. Connection locations and dimensions are both shown in Figure 11.
