BRYAN DONKIN RMG GAS CONTROLS LIMITED
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR SERIES 24

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR SERIES 240
Introduction, Application, Features, Technical Data
Application
• Designed for use on gas pressure reduction services to domestic, business premises and small industrial feeds toburners, heater units, boilers and other items of equipment where an accurate, safe and dependable pressurecontrolled supply is required.
Introduction
• The Series 240 is a direct acting single diaphragm, spring loaded open, lever operated regulator for use on gaspressure reduction systems.
• Control of varying inlet pressure and capacity applications is ensured by utilising a range of interchangeable orifices ofvarying size.
• Use with confidence on natural and manufactured gases of non-aggressive nature, including Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide,Propane and Butane.
Size Range3⁄4” & 1” Screwed to BS.21 Rc.
Installation
The regulator may be mounted in any orientation to suit site conditions, moisture or debris must not ingress the vent hole. Foroptimum performance the recommended operating position is with diaphragm casing horizontal and spring housing pointingvertically upwards.
It is important when installing equipment that pipeline stresses are kept to a minimum and no undue external forces areplaced on the connections.
Features
• Completely independent operation of regulator andsafety cut-off valve.
• Diaphragm casing can be rotated through 360O relativeto regulator body and can be positioned at any angle toassist servicing and installation in confined spaces.
• Both regulator casing/valve head and safety cut-offvalve can be removed from the body as cartridges,ensuring straightforward maintenance withoutremoving the body from the pipeline.
• Wide operational pressure range• Regulator can be fitted with Over pressure (OPCO) or
Under/Over (UPCO/OPCO) pressure safety cut-offvalve. These devices protect the downstream system inthe event that a dangerous gas pressure conditiondevelops.
