Product Descriptions
The 67D Series direct-operated regulators are typically 
used to provide constantly controlled, reduced pressures. 
They are suitable for most air or gas applications. 
• The Types 67D and 67DS are the standard 
instrument supply regulators without a filter or 
internal relief. 
• The Types 67DF and 67DFS are equipped with a 
filter for removing particles from the supply gas. 
• The Types 67DR and 67DSR have an internal relief 
valve with a soft seat for reliable shutoff with no 
discernible leakage.
• The Types 67DFR and 67DFSR have a filter and 
internal relief valve with a soft seat for reliable 
shutoff with no discernible leakage.
Principle of Operation
Downstream pressure is registered internally on the 
lower side of the diaphragm. When the downstream 
pressure is at or above the set pressure, the valve plug 
is held against the orifice and there is no flow through 
the regulator. When demand increases, downstream 
pressure drops slightly allowing the spring to extend, 
moving the stem down and the valve plug away from 
the orifice. This allows flow through the regulator.
Internal Relief (Types 67DR, 67DSR, 
67DFR and 67DFSR)
If for some reason, outside of normal operating 
conditions, the downstream pressure exceeds the 
setpoint of the regulator, the force created by the 
downstream pressure will lift the diaphragm until 
the diaphragm is lifted off the relief seat. This allows 
flow through the token relief. The relief valve on 
the Type 67DR, 67DSR, 67DFR or 67DFSR is an 
elastomer plug that prevents leakage of air from the 
downstream to atmosphere during normal operation, 
thereby conserving plant air.
Smart Bleed™ Airset
In some cases, it is desired to exhaust downstream 
pressure if inlet pressure is lost or drops below the 
setpoint of the regulator. For example, if the regulator 
is installed on equipment that at times has no flow 
demand but is expected to backflow on loss of inlet 
pressure. The Type 67DFR or 67DFSR can be ordered 
with the Smart Bleed option which includes an internal 
check valve for this application. During operation, if 
inlet pressure is lost, or decreases below the setpoint of 
the regulator, the downstream pressure will back flow 
upstream through the regulator and check valve. This 
option eliminates the need for a fixed bleed downstream 
of the regulator, thereby conserving plant air.
