Features
• Long Life in Severe Service Applications—The
EZH and EZHSO Series utilize a metal plug design
to deect particles and debris away from the soft-
seat, which gives enhanced resistance to particle
erosion to provide a longer service life. In addition,
the EZH and EZHSO Series can be constructed
with Fluorocarbon (FKM) soft parts to extend
service life in applications where liquid aromatics
are entrained in the gas.
• Main Diaphragm—The main diaphragm is
Nitrile (NBR) reinforced with fabric and coated
with a PVC, which protects and extends the service
life of the regulator in applications where the liquids
commonly found in natural gas pipelines tend to
shorten diaphragm life.
• Common Body Platform—The EZH and
EZHSO Series use the same standard Fisher
®
E-Body which is also used in Type EZR pressure
reducing regulator and Types EZ, ES, ED and ET
pressure reducing control valves. This will allow
easy conversion from one product to another
without the need to remove the E-Body from
the pipeline.
• Spring-to-Close and Spring-to-Open Versions—
Optional positions to choose from in case of main
valve diaphragm failure or lack of supply pressure
to the pilot.
• Bubble-Tight Shutoff—The EZH and
EZHSO Series 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.
• No Atmospheric Bleed—The EZH and
EZHSO Series eliminate nuisance and wasteful
bleed gas to atmosphere by utilizing a pilot-
operated two-path control system, which bleeds
100% of the gas to the downstream system
while the regulator is operating.
• High Turn Down Capability—The oversized
diaphragm and unique piloting system of the
EZH and EZHSO Series allow for high turn
down, which will provide superior pressure control
in systems with large variations in downstream
ow demand.
• In-Line Maintenance—Top entry design provides
easier maintenance. Trim parts can be inspected,
cleaned and replaced without removing the
body from pipeline.
• Noise Abatement Trim—The EZH and
EZHSO Series offer an optional Whisper Trim™
Cage which is integral to the regulator. Allows for a
noise attenuation of up to 8 dBA.
• Precise Pressure Control—The EZH and
EZHSO Series use the PRX Series and Type SA/2
pilot system to provide stable and accurate
downstream pressure control regardless of load
changes or inlet pressure variations.
• Full Pressure Rating—The EZH and EZHSO Series
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.
• Disk Design—The EZH and EZHSO Series offer
disks for the main body made from Nitrile (NBR),
Fluorocarbon (FKM) and Polyurethane (PU).
Polyurethane (PU) provides better abrasion
resistance properties and a high durometer rating
to extend the working life of the disk in difcult
applications where disk erosion is an issue.
• O-ring Design—The EZH and EZHSO Series use
elastomer O-rings instead of gaskets, reducing
maintenance and assembly time.
• Slam-Shut Protection—Types EZHOSX
and EZHSO-OSX discontinue gas service by
shutting the gas off if there is an overpressure or
underpressure condition.
Introduction
Types EZH (Spring-to-Close version) and EZHSO
(Spring-to-Open version) regulators are accurate pilot-
operated, pressure-balanced, soft-seated regulators.
They are designed for use in high pressure natural
gas transmission, city gate stations, large capacity
distribution systems and power plant feeds. They
provide smooth and reliable operation, tight shutoff
and long life.
For underpressure or overpressure protection, the
Types EZHOSX and EZHSO-OSX are available with
an integral slam-shut device to completely shut off the
ow of gas to the downstream system. The slam shut
has a mechanism box and a manometric device. The
manometric device is a spring and diaphragm actuator.
Its movement activates the detection stage of the
mechanism box. The shutoff is a two-stage process, the
detection stage and the power stage. This separation
between detection stage and power stage provides
maximum precision, alleviating many false trips caused by
environmental vibrations. The slam-shut device includes
a bypass valve that will allow pressure to be equalized
when resetting the device. Once the slam-shut device has
been tripped, it must be manually reset.
