Strainers
We recommend installing a SAMSON
strainer (2) upstream of the valve. It prevents
solid particles in the process medium from
damaging the regulator.
Î Do not use the strainer to permanently
ltertheprocessmedium.
Î Selectastrainer(meshsize)suitablefor
the process medium.
Any impurities carried along by the process
medium may impair the proper functioning
of the regulator. We recommend installing a
strainer (e.g. SAMSON Type2NI) upstream
of the pressure reducing valve (uEB1015).
Pressure gauges
Install a pressure gauge (3 and 5) both up-
stream and downstream of the regulator to
monitor the pressures prevailing in the plant.
