I.  DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE
Model SAP is a piston operated, pressure reducing regulator used to control downstream (outlet or P2) pressure. Sizes are
3/4" (DN20), 1" (DN25), 2" (DN50), 3" (DN80) and 4" (DN100).

III. INSTALLATION
1.  Install per direction of fl ow arrow indicated on 
body, or "IN" and "OUT" markings.
2.  Regulator may be rotated around pipe axis 360 
degrees. For ease of maintenance, the rec om-
 mend ed orientation is with the loading chamber 
(4) upwards. 
3.  Provide space below, above, and around reg u la tor 
for removal of parts during maintenance.
4.  Install block valves and pressure gauges to pro-
 vide means for adjustment, operation, bypass, or 
removal of the regulator. A UHP fi lter is rec om-
 mend ed before inlet to remove typical pipe line 
debris from entering valve and damaging internal 
“soft goods”, primarily the dynamic seal and valve 
seat.
CAUTION
Installation of adequate overpressure pro tec tion 
is recommended to pro tect the reg u la tor and all 
downstream equip ment from dam age in the event 
of reg u la tor failure.
CAUTION
DO NOT HYDROSTATIC TEST THROUGH AN 
IN STALLED UNIT; ISOLATE REGULATOR FROM 
TEST. The "Outlet" rating as printed on the name-
plate is the rec om mend ed “upper op er at ing limit”.  
Higher pres sures could cause internal dam age.  
In ad di tion, note on the nameplate that the Inlet 
and Outlet pres sure and temperature ratings are 
at different levels.
