Specications
Principle of Operation
Refer to Figure 2.  When downstream demand 
decreases, the pressure under the diaphragm 
increases.  This pressure overcomes the regulator 
setting (which is set by the control spring).  Through 
the action of the pusher post assembly, lever, and 
valve stem, the valve disk moves closer to the orice 
and reduces gas ow.  If demand downstream 
increases, pressure under the diaphragm decreases.  
Spring force pushes the pusher post assembly 
downward, and the valve disk moves away from the 
orice, and the gas ow increases.
The Types S202 and S202H regulators include an 
internal relief valve.  Internal relief is used to help 
minimize overpressure.  Any outlet pressure above 
the start-to-discharge point of the non-adjustable relief 
spring moves the diaphragm off of the relief seat, 
allowing excess pressure to discharge through the vent.  
Typical start-to-discharge values are 7-inches w.c. to  
2 psi (17 to 138 mbar) above the outlet pressure 
setting, depending on control spring used.
