Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides guidelines for the installation and maintenance of R600 and HSRL Series LP-Gas Regulators, specifically for vapor service applications. These regulators are not intended for liquid service.
Safety Warnings
Improper handling can result in severe consequences such as explosions or fires. Adherence to federal, state, and local codes, along with NFPA No. 54 and 58 standards, is required. Only trained personnel should perform installation and servicing.
Customer Instructions
  • Ensure vent openings are clear.
  • Close the shutoff valve if gas is detected or if there are unusual conditions.
  • Contact a qualified service person if the regulator vents gas or a leak is suspected.
  • Conduct a leak check if the gas supply is interrupted.
Specifications
  • Pressure taps and orifice sizes differ by model.
  • Maximum inlet pressures range from 10 psig to 250 psig.
  • Temperature range is from -20 to 160ºF.
  • Outlet pressure settings and spring ranges are model-specific.
Regulator Types and Applications
  • First Stage and 2 psig Service Regulators: Types R622H, R622E, and R652E for high-pressure vapor service.
  • Second Stage Low Pressure Regulators: Types R622, R642, R652, and HSRL for low-pressure delivery.
  • Integral Two-stage and Two psig Service Regulators: Types R632A and R632E for non-adjustable first stage regulation.
Installation Guidelines
  • Ensure vents are unobstructed and pointed downwards.
  • Install away from water or ice-prone areas.
  • Indoor installations require vent lines to the outside.
Special Considerations
  • In snowy areas, additional vent protection may be needed.
  • Horizontal installations should be covered.
  • Indoor vent lines must be at least 3/4 in. NPT pipe or equivalent.
Specifications and Installation
For underground installations, vent tubes are necessary to prevent water ingress. Types R632A and R632E require two vent tubes. Vent tubes should terminate above the water table.
Outdoor Installations
Ensure underground vent lines do not restrict gas flow and are free from debris. Seal joints to prevent moisture intrusion.
Adjustment
Regulators are factory set. Adjust outlet pressure by turning the adjustment screw: clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease. The first stage of Types R632A and R632E is non-adjustable.
Overpressure Protection
Protection is needed if inlet pressure can exceed outlet pressure rating. Internal relief valves provide protection, but additional external protection may be required.
Maintenance
Isolate regulators from system pressure before maintenance. Inspect periodically for wear or damage. Replace regulators after 20 years or sooner if needed.
Vent Opening
Ensure vents are clear of debris. Keep vent screens clean and avoid water spray into openings.
Water Inside Regulators
Replace regulators exposed to water or showing corrosion. Inspect internal components for corrosion.
Regulator Replacement
Replace regulators over 20 years old or those showing corrosion. Inspect annually in corrosive environments.
Regulator Repair
Test repaired regulators before returning to service. Use only Fisher parts for repairs. Provide complete type number and details when seeking assistance.

R600 and HSRL Series LP-Gas Regulators Instruction Manual MCK 2141 October 2015 R600 and HSRL Series 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 Fisher 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. how the customer the vent or vent assembly or vent S tube. Stress that this opening must remain unobstructed at all times. Tell the customer to check the vent opening after a freezing rain, sleet storm or snow to make sure ice has not formed in the vent.   2. how the customer the shutoff valve on the container. S 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.   3. ell the customer to call your company to service the T 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. Figure 1. Types R622, R642 and HSRL Series Regulators Introduction Scope of the Manual This Instruction Manual covers Installation and Maintenance for the R600 and HSRL Series regulators, which includes first stage, second stage, two psig service, integral two- stage and integral two psig service regulators used on LP-Gas vapor service applications. They are not to be used on liquid service.   4. ell the customer to call your company to have a leak T check performed if the gas supply has been shutoff or interrupted for any reason. A leak check must be performed by a qualified gas service person on the piping system immediately after turning on the gas supply. TYPE HSRL

R600 and HSRL Series LP-Gas Regulators The inlet and outlet pressure plug may be removed using a 7/16 in. / 11 mm hexagon wrench. The pressure tap is restricted, so the plug can be removed with pressure on the outlet of the regulator. Install a pressure gauge to determine the regulator’s inlet pressure and outlet setting during adjustment, (actual pressure at the second stage regulator may be less due to line loss). After setting, add thread sealant to the 1/8 in. NPT pipe plugs. Reinstall the pipe plugs by threading into the gauge ports finger-tight and then wrench tighten 1-1/2 to 3 turns past...
