MODELS D and DL
PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATORS
SECTION I
I. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE
  The Model D is a pressure reducing regulator used to control downstream (outlet or P
2
) pressure. Sizes are 3/8" (DN10), 
1/2" (DN15), 3/4" (DN20) and 1" (DN25). With proper trim utilization, the unit is suit able for liquid, gase ous, or steam 
serv ice. Refer to Technical Bulletin D-TB for design conditions and se lec tion recommendations.
  The Model DL is also a pressure reducing regulator similar to above Model D. Sizes are 1-1/2" (DN40) and 2" (DN50).  
(Model DL was formerly a Cashco Model D). Refer to Technical Bulletin DL-TB for design conditions and selection recom-
mendations.
SECTION II
II. INSTALLATION
1.  An inlet block valve should always be in stalled.
2.  If service application is continuous such that shut-
 down is not readily accomplished, it is rec ommended 
that an inlet block valve, outlet block valve, and a 
manual bypass valve be installed.
3.  Pipe unions should be installed to allow re moval 
from piping.
4.  An outlet pressure gauge should be located ap prox i-
 mate ly ten pipe diameters downstream and within 
sight.
5.  All installations should include a downstream re lief 
device if the inlet pressure could exceed the pres-
 sure rating of any downstream equip ment or the 
maximum outlet pressure rating of the unit.

6.  Clean the piping of all foreign material in clud ing 
chips, welding scale, oil, grease and dirt be fore in-
stalling the regulator. Strainers are rec om mend ed.
7.  In placing thread sealant on pipe ends prior to 
en gage ment, ensure that excess material is re-
 moved and not allowed to enter the regu la tor upon 
startup.
8.  Flow Direction: Install so the fl ow direction match es 
the arrow cast on the body.
9.  For best performance, install in well drained hori-
 zon tal pipe, properly trapped, if a steam service 
application. 
10.A. Basic Regulator - (Refer to Figure 2): Regu la tor 
may be rotated around the pipe axis 360
o
. Rec-
om mended position is with spring cham ber ver ti cal 
upwards. Ori ent such that the spring cham ber vent 
hole does not collect rainwater or debris.
 CAUTION
For welded installations, all internal trim parts, seals 
and diaphragm(s) must be removed from regula-
tor body prior to welding into pipelne. The heat 
of fusion welding will damage non-metallic parts if 
not removed. NOTE: This does not apply to units 
equipped with extended pipe nipples.
 CAUTION
Installation of adequate overpressure pro tec tion is 
recommended to pro tect the reg u la tor from overpres-
sure and all down stream equip ment from damage 
in the event of regulator failure.
