MR98 Series
4
Note
It is important that the relief valve or
backpressure regulator be installed
so that the vent hole in the spring
case is unobstructed at all times. For
outdoor installations, the relief valve
or backpressure regulator should be
located away from vehicular trac and
positioned so that water, ice and other
foreign materials cannot enter the spring
case through the vent. Avoid placing the
relief valve or backpressure regulator
beneath eaves or downspouts and be
sure it is above the probable snow level.
Overpressure Protection
Maximum inlet pressure depend upon body materials
and temperatures. See Specications section or the
maximum inlet pressure of the valve and the maximum
spring case loading pressures stamped on the
nameplate of Types MR98LD, MR98HD, MR98HDP
and MR98HHD. The valve should be inspected for
damage after any overpressure condition. Fisher™
relief valve or backpressure regulators are NOT
ASME safety relief valves.
Startup
The relief valve or backpressure regulator is factory
set at approximately the midpoint of the spring range
or the pressure requested, so an initial adjustment
may be required to give the desired results. With
proper installation completed and relief valves properly
adjusted, slowly open the upstream and downstream
shuto valves (if applicable).
Adjustment
To change the control pressure, remove closing
cap or loosen the jam nut and turn the adjusting
screw clockwise to increase control pressure or
counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Monitor
the control pressure with a test gauge during the
adjustment. Replace closing cap or tighten the jam nut
to maintain the desired setting.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury resulting
from sudden release of pressure,
isolate the relief valve or backpressure
regulator from all pressure before
attempting disassembly.
