Type LR125 Pressure Reducing Liquid Regulator

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Type LR125 is a pilot-operated, pressure-reducing regulator designed for liquid industrial and commercial applications. It is suitable for water and oil applications and offers features such as smooth operation, tight shutoff, and long life. The regulator is available in full stainless steel construction for harsh environments.
Features and Benefits
  • Tight Shutoff: Utilizes a diaphragm and metal plug to resist particle erosion.
  • Debris Protection: Engineered flow path and internal inlet strainer prevent large particles from entering the regulator.
  • High Accuracy: Offers multiple control pressure ranges for precise control.
  • Long Life: Robust design with a fully supported diaphragm to prevent damage.
  • Full Usable Capacity: Laboratory tested for confidence in published flow capacity.
  • Easy In-Line Maintenance: Top-entry design allows for quick inspection and replacement of parts.
  • Versatility: Compatible with standard construction materials and end connections.
Specifications
The document details various body sizes, end connection styles, and structural design ratings. It includes maximum inlet and outlet pressures, temperature capabilities, and regulating capacities. Construction materials include options for steel and stainless steel components.
Principle of Operation
The regulator maintains outlet pressure above the set point, keeping the pilot valve plug closed. When outlet pressure decreases, the pilot plug opens, reducing loading pressure and allowing the main valve to open. As outlet pressure rises, the pilot valve closes, building up loading pressure for tight shutoff.

Capacity and Pressure Data
Tables provide data on the regulator's capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) and liters per minute (L/min) for different body sizes at various droop percentages and pressure settings. The tables note that the recommended maximum pressure drop ratio of 0.65 is exceeded in some cases.
Dimensions
Figure 5 and Table 13 detail the dimensions of the Type LR125 with the Type MR95H/MR95HP Pilot, including measurements for different body sizes and materials.
Ordering Information
The document provides an ordering guide specifying options for body size, material, end connection style, diaphragm material, O-ring material, travel indicator, and inlet body tap. It also includes options for pilot diaphragm material, valve plug material, and outlet pressure range. Replacement parts kits are available as optional items.

Type LR125 Pressure Reducing Liquid Regulator Introduction The Type LR125 pilot-operated, pressure reducing regulator is designed for liquid industrial/commercial applications. The Type LR125 provides smooth operation, tight shutoff and long life. Its internally actuated metal plug eliminates disadvantages associated with flexible element style regulators, and the specially engineered flow path deflects debris, protecting the seat from damage and erosion. The Type LR125 is used in conjunction with a Type MR95H/MR95HP pilot and Type 112 restrictor. An internal inlet strainer prevents large particles from entering the main valve, limiting damage to internal parts. Tight Shutoff—The Type LR125 uses a diaphragm and metal plug, eliminating the disadvantages of flexible element style regulators. When open, the metal plug deflects particles and debris away from the diaphragm. The result is enhanced resistance to particle erosion, which provides excellent shutoff over an extended life. When closed, loading pressure and the main spring push the diaphragm onto the taperededged
