1. The pressure/temperature limits in this Bulletin and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
2. Type PRX Fluorocarbon (FKM) elastomer is limited to 0°F / -18°C.
• Bubble Tight Shutoff—The Type EZH have knife-edged,
metal plug and a soft seat which provide bubble tight
shutoff for use in applications where positive shutoff is
required. For example: dead-end systems.
• In-Line Maintenance—Top entry design provides easier
maintenance. Trim parts can be inspected, cleaned and
replaced without removing the body from pipeline.
• Precise Pressure Control—The Type EZH use the
PRX Series pilot system to provide stable and accurate
pressure control.
• Full Pressure Rating—The Type EZH have equal inlet
and outlet pressure rating of 1500 psig / 103 bar, which
allows easier selection and requires no special startup or
shutdown procedures.
• Full Usable Capacity—Fisher
®
brand regulators are
laboratory tested. 100% of the published ow capacity
can be used with condence.
• O-ring Design—The Type EZH use elastomer
O-rings instead of gaskets, reducing maintenance and
assembly time.
Introduction
Type EZH is an accurate pilot-operated, pressure-balanced,
soft-seated relief valve or backpressure regulator. It is
designed for use in high pressure natural gas transmission/
city gate stations, large capacity distribution systems and
power plant feeds. It provides smooth and reliable operation,
tight shutoff and long life.
Pilot Descriptions
The Type EZH relief valve or backpressure regulator include
a Type PRX/182 pilot mounted on the EZH Series main
valves for relief valve or backpressure regulator applications.
PRX Series pressure reducing pilots have the ability to
handle a wide range of setpoints from 29 to 1160 psig /
2.0 to 80.0 bar.
