Type EQA 99 is a pressure reducing regulator for air or gas, suitable for

multiple applications due to its wide range of inlet pressures which go up to

25 bar and outlet pressures of between 0,0175 bar and 4 bar. Its maximum
flow for natural gas is 5.250 m³/hora.
The 99 regulator is equipped with protection against excesses in regulated
outlet pressure through a manual reset system (shut off device).
These units are specially suitable for those cases in which it is not convenient
to have venting systems installed in order to provide relief safety.
The valve’s body may be threaded or flanged 2” S-150. This type of valves is
commanded through a pilot, which uses the flow as its principle of operation
to cover all ranges of outlet pressures. Two types of pilots are manufactured,
which are interchangeable:
- For low pressures (type. 6351-B) from 0,017 bar up to 0,5 bar.
- For high pressures (type. 6351-S) from 0,5 bar up to 4 bar.
In some cases of high inlet pressures a second stage pilot is incorporated in
order to obtain optimal outlet pressures.

TECHNICAL DATA
End connections: Threated 2” NPT/ 2” flanged S-150
Operation temperature: -20ºC to 60ºC (-10ºF to 140ºF)
Aprox weight: 37 Kg (82,1 Lbs)

MATERIALS
Main body: Carbon steel
Seat orifice: Brass
Diaphragm: Nitrile
Valve disk: Nitrile or Teflon

OUTLET PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

Turn screw (A) clockwise in order to increase outlet pressures,
and in the opposite direction to decrease it. Screw (B) shall not
be used unless there exist oscillations in outlet pressure when
the valve is operating. Ask for instructions to manufacturer
in order to do this.
