Key Benefits and Advantages
-
Exceptional Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of high-pressure applications, from commercial LPG systems to industrial gas distribution and specialized chemical service.
-
Internal Relief Protection: The 64SR Series is equipped with an internal relief valve, allowing it to be used as a final-stage regulator on high-pressure systems by providing a safety vent for overpressure conditions.
-
Specialized Ammonia Construction: The 64KB Series features a specialized PTFE diaphragm protector, making the regulator compatible with anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service, which is critical for agricultural and industrial refrigeration applications.
-
Flexible Installation: Features multiple body side connections, providing ease of piping and allowing for the installation of pressure gauges or other accessories directly onto the regulator body.
-
Simplified Maintenance: The straightforward design allows for quick inspection and replacement of the valve disk and diaphragm without removing the regulator from the line.
-
UL Listed: Meets rigorous safety standards for use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), ensuring compliance and reliability in residential and commercial energy systems.
Technical Properties
-
Operation: Direct-operated and spring-loaded for reliable, fast-acting pressure control.
-
Pressure Capabilities: Designed to handle high inlet pressures directly from storage tanks or high-pressure headers.
-
Body Side Connection: 1/4 inch NPT side tapping comes standard on most models for easy pressure monitoring.
-
Diaphragm Options: Available with various elastomer materials to suit the specific chemical and temperature requirements of the process gas.
-
End Connections: Typically available in 1/2 inch NPT threaded connections.
Field of Application
The 64 Series is the primary choice for high-pressure gas reduction where a compact, rugged, and simple regulator is required. It is frequently seen in multi-stage pressure reduction setups.
Primary Industries and Uses:
-
LPG Service: First-stage pressure reduction from propane tanks to intermediate lines.
-
Agriculture: Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) distribution and application systems using the 64KB model.
-
Industrial Utilities: High-pressure air or gas supply for factory distribution systems.
-
Commercial Facilities: Providing intermediate pressure for large-scale heating systems in schools or hospitals.
