Safety Warnings

Purpose
In its continuing quest for safety, Engineered Controls International, Inc. publishes a series of bulletins explaining
the hazards associated with the use, misuse, and aging of LP-Gas valves and regulators. It is hoped that these
factual bulletins will make clear to LP-Gas dealer managers and service personnel, that the utmost care and
attention must be used in the installation, inspection, and maintenance of these products, or problems could
occur which would result in injuries and property damage.
The National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet #58 - 2004 Edition, “Liquified Petroleum Gas Code” states in
Section 1.5 that, “persons who transfer liquid LP-Gas, who are employed to transport LP-Gas, or whose primary
duties fall within the scope of this code shall be trained in proper handling procedures. Refresher training shall
be provided at least every three years. The training shall be documented.” These “ECII® Safety Warnings”
may be useful in training new employees and reminding older employees of hazards that can occur. It is
recommended that all employees be furnished with a copy of NPGA Safety Pamphlet 306, “LP-Gas Regulator
and Valve Inspection and Maintenance.”

Nature of Warnings
It is recognized that warnings should be as brief as possible, but
the factors involved in regulator failures are not simple. They need The Causes of High Pressure Gas in a System are:
to be fully understood so that proper maintenance programs can be
established. If there is a simple warning, it would be: 1. Regulator vents that are clogged or obstructed.
Vents must be clear and fully open at all times.
Inspect regulators regularly as outlined in this safety warning and
Many regulators are equipped with a pressure relief valve which

• Leaks of LP-Gas to atmosphere from the regulator itself.
• Loss of pressure due to a “freeze-up” in the orifice. When this occurs, the regulator can remain open, allowing high
pressure gas into the system.
High Pressure LP-Gas in a System
Anything that prevents a regulator from regulating properly could
result in high pressure gas at the regulator outlet and thus in a
system.
High pressure gas into piping and appliances could cause piping
leaks and damage to appliance burner controls with the potential
for fires and explosions.

This material can come from system piping between the container shut-

dirty piping can create this hazard. Corrosion inside of copper pigtails

Gas contains high sulphur or excessive moisture.
Action Required: Make sure regulator inlet piping is clean at the
time of installation. Periodic checks should be made to assure piping
remains clean without corrosion. Never use old pigtails on new LP-Gas
installations. Old pigtails can also work harden and crack if they have
been bent and twisted several times.

4. Failure to external mechanical parts due to corrosion:
These leaks can be caused by:
Adjusting springs and relief valve springs can rapidly corrode if exposed
to salt air or industrial pollution. Even moisture condensation on these
springs can cause them to rust and fail.
Failure of these springs will result in failure of the regulator to
control the pressure.
With the vent of a regulator facing down, corrosion products from the
springs could clog the regulator vent screen blocking the vent.
Action Required: Regulator inspection for corrosion should be made
according to the guidelines listed below:
• For underground installations subject to submersion, the regulator
should be inspected every time the container is filled.
• For known corrosive atmospheres of salt air or chemical pollution,
the regulator should be inspected at least once a year.

Pipe and Tubing Selection Guide
Use the following simple method to assure the selection of the correct sizes of piping and tubing for LP-Gas vapor systems. Piping between first and second stage
regulators is considered, as well as low pressure (inches water column) piping between second stage, single stage, or integral twin stage regulators and appliances.

Instructions:
1. Determine the total gas demand for the system by adding up the BTU/hr input
from the appliance nameplates and adding demand as appropriate for future
appliances.
2. For second stage or integral twin stage piping:
A. Measure length of piping required from outlet of regulator to the appliance
furthest away. No other length is necessary to do the sizing.
B. Make a simple sketch of the piping, as shown.
C. Determine the capacity to be handled by each section of piping. For
example, the capacity of the line between a and b must handle the total
demand of appliances A, B, and C; the capacity of the line from c to d must
handle only appliance B, etc.
D. Using Table 3 select proper size of tubing or pipe for each section of piping,
using values in BTU/hr for the length determined from step #2-A. If exact
length is not on chart, use next longer length. Do not use any other length
for this purpose! Simply select the size that shows at least as much capacity
as needed for each piping section.
3. For piping between first and second stage regulators
A. For a simple system with only one second stage regulator, merely measure
length of piping required between outlet of first stage regulator and inlet of
second stage regulator. Select piping or tubing required from Table 1.
B. For systems with multiple second stage regulators, measure length of piping
required to reach the second stage regulator that is furthest away. Make a
simple sketch, and size each leg of piping using Table 1, 2, or 3 using values
shown in column corresponding to the length as measured above, same as
when handling second stage piping.

LP-Gas Cylinder and Service Valves
Safety Warnings Purpose
In its continuing quest for safety, Engineered Controls International, Inc. publishes a series of bulletins explaining
the hazards associated with the use, misuse, and aging of LP-Gas valves and regulators. It is hoped that these
factual bulletins will make clear to LP-Gas dealer managers and service personnel, that the utmost care and
attention must be used in the installation, inspection, and maintenance of these products, or problems could
occur which would result in injuries and property damage.

The National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet #58 - 2004 Edition, “Liquified Petroleum Gas Code” states in
Section 1.5 that, “persons who transfer liquid LP-Gas, who are employed to transport LP-Gas, or whose primary
duties fall within the scope of this code shall be trained in proper handling procedures. Refresher training shall
be provided at least every three years. The training shall be documented.” These “ECII® Safety Warnings”
may be useful in training new employees and reminding older employees of hazards that can occur. It is
recommended that all employees be furnished with a copy of NPGA Safety Pamphlet 306, “LP-Gas Regulator
and Valve Inspection and Maintenance.”

These functions, although simple, are extremely critical in the safe

servicing LP-Gas systems. Failure to fully follow these codes,
regulations and recommendations could result in hazardous
installations.

2. The bonnet and stem seal assembly of a cylinder valve are


extremely critical, since any malfunction could cause external leakage
and spillage. Check bonnet to see that it is in proper position. If there
is any doubt about tightness of threaded connection between bonnet
and body, valve must be repaired in accordance with manufacturers’
repair instructions before cylinder is filled. Handwheel must be in
good condition, stem threads must not be worn or damaged and
bonnet must be properly assembled. This area should be examined
each time the cylinder if filled. A leakage test should be conducted
while the shut-off valve is in the open position during filling.

3. The cylinder outlet connection is usually a female POL. Threads


must be free of dents, gouges and any indication of excessive wear.
Seating surface inside this connection must be smooth and free
of nicks and scratches to assure a gas tight seal when connected
to a male POL cylinder adapter. Cylinder adapter must spin on
freely all the way, without indication of drag, roughness or excessive
looseness, and must then be tightened with a wrench. Connection
must be
checked for leakage.

4. The pressure relief valve is of critical importance: Its proper


operation is vital in avoiding excessive pressures during emergencies,

device is allowable. Relief valve should be visually inspected and

LP-Gas Cylinder and Service Valves

Entire assembly must be free of dents, distortion or other indications


of damage. If relief valve appears to contaminated or damaged, the
cylinder valve must be replaced. (Caution: Eye protection must be
used when examining relief valves under pressure.)

5. The liquid service shut-off valve, with excess flow valve provided
on some cylinder valves, is also of critical importance. The excess
flow valve must be periodically tested for proper performance, in
addition to the inspection of the shut-off valve.

6. The fixed liquid level gauge on a cylinder valve is, when present,
essential to prevent overfilling the cylinder. The gauging valve must
operate freely, venting vapor when loosened, and sealing gas-tight
easily when tightened with the fingers. Gauge valves meant for
use with a socket key or screwdriver must also seal easily without
excessive torque. The fixed liquid level gauge diptube must be of
the proper length, and be in proper position. Periodic test should be
conducted by weighing the cylinder after filling, to determine that it
does not contain more than the allowable amount of LP-Gas. This At the very minimum, it is desirable that these customers:
check should be done periodically, and any time there is suspicion
that the gauge diptube may be damaged or broken. 1. Know the odor of LP-Gas and what to do in case they smell gas.
Use of the NPGA “Scratch ’n Sniff” leaflet could be productive.

2. Are instructed never to tamper with the system.

3. Know that when protective hoods are used to enclose regulators


and/or valves, that these hoods must be closed, but not locked.

4. Know the location of the cylinder shut-off valve in emergencies.


Do Not Overfill Cylinders

Do not fill a cylinder without first repairing or replacing the


cylinder valve, as required, if any defect is noted. B
While not required by codes, it is recommended that a plug or General Warning

Thread Specifications

Cylinder Valve Threads Because of the many thread forms available on equipment used in
the LP-Gas industry today, the maze of letters, numbers and symbols
which make up various thread specifications becomes confusing. To
help eliminate some of this confusion, a brief explanation of some of
the more widely used thread specifications is shown below.

NGT and NPT Threads


Inlet Connections The NGT (National Gas Taper) thread is the commonly used valve-
to-cylinder connection. The male thread on the valve has about
two more threads at the large end than the NPT in order to provide
additional fresh threads if further tightening is necessary. Additionally,
the standard 3⁄4” NGT valve inlet provides the greater tightness at
the bottom of the valve by making the valve threads slightly straighter
than the standard taper of 3⁄4” per foot in NPT connections. In all
other respects NPT and NGT threads are similar.

“Pop-Action” Pressure Relief Valves
General Information Relief Valves in this catalog are only intended
The “Pop-Action” design permits the RegO® Pressure Relief Valve to open slightly to relieve
for use in LP-Gas or anhydrous ammonia
moderately excessive pressure in the container. When pressure increases beyond a predetermined
service. Do not use any other service
point, the valve is designed to “pop” open to its full discharge capacity, reducing excess pressure
commodity. If you have an application other
quickly. This is a distinct advantage over ordinary valves which open gradually over their entire
than conventional LP-Gas or anhydrous
range, allowing excessive pressure to develop before the relief valve is fully open. All RegO® internal,
ammonia service, contact Engineered
semiinternal, and external relief valves incorporate this “Pop-Action” design.
Controls International, Inc before proceeding.

of the relief mechanism due to foreign material build up. All guides,
springs, stem and adjusting components are located inside the
cylinder - removed from the direct exposure of foreign materials and
debris from the atmosphere.

NFPA Pamphlet #58 requires that:


“All containers used in industrial truck (including forklift truck cylinders)
service shall have the container pressure relief valve replaced by a 7545-12 90° Adapter 7545-14 45˚ Adapter
new or unused valve within 12 years of the date of manufacture of the
container and each 10 years thereafter.”

Features UL
®

• Positive stop in the upper body protects against improper insertion


of a pipeaway adapter that might interfere with proper operation
of the relief valve.

• Internal stem guide eliminates the need for a close fit between the
body and poppet, which lessens the chance of clogging due to
foreign material.

• Single piece cold-headed stem provides more accurate positioning


of working parts for more consistent operation and precise
adjustment.

• Two different deflector adapters and a protective cap are available


as accessories to provide complete protection.

D • “Pop-action” design keeps product loss at a minimum.

• Request RegO® Relief Valves on all your original equipment forklift


cylinders for reliable performance.

DuoPort® Pressure Relief Valve Manifolds for Small Storage Containers
8542 Series
Application
Designed especially for use as a primary relief device on smaller
stationary storage containers, with 2” NPT threaded couplings.
These manifolds allow servicing or replacement of either of the two

valve, taking friction loss into account. It is not merely the rating of the WA R R
relief valve alone.

Features
• Allows for relief valve removal and replacement on a periodic basis
without shutting down and evacuating the container.

• Unique seat ring assemblies provide a smooth tubular section to


preclude turbulence and assure more efficient flow capacity.

• Operating lever is only locked in the mid-position or in a position


to seal either relief valve. Placement of the clapper disc in an
intermediate position could restrict flow through one of the relief
valves, causing it to chatter and destroy the resilient seat disc. UL
®

• A rubber plug with chain is provided to protect manifold outlet


threads where the relief valve has been removed.

• “Pop-action” design insures maximum protection with only minimal


product loss at moderately excessive pressures.

• Resilient relief valve seat disc provides “bubble-tight” seal. D


• Relief valves are ASME rated for use with LP-Gas and anhydrous
ammonia.

LP-Gas Hose-End Filling Valves (With ACME Connectors)
Safety Warnings Purpose
In its continuing quest for safety, Engineered Controls International, Inc. publishes a series of bulletins explaining
the hazards associated with the use, misuse, and aging of LP-Gas valves and regulators. It is hoped that these
factual bulletins will make clear to LP-Gas dealer managers and service personnel, that the utmost care and
attention must be used in the installation, inspection, and maintenance of these products, or problems could
occur which would result in injuries and property damage.

The National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet #58 - 2004 Edition, “Liquified Petroleum Gas Code” states
that, “persons who transfer liquid LP-Gas, who are employed to transport LP-Gas, or whose primary duties fall
within the scope of this code shall be trained in proper handling procedures. Refresher training shall be provided
at least every three years. The training shall be documented.” These “ECII® Safety Warnings” may be useful in
training new employees and reminding older employees of hazards that can occur. It is recommended that all
employees be furnished with a copy of NPGA Safety Pamphlet 306-88, “LP-Gas Regulator and Valve Inspection
and Maintenance.”

Nature of Warnings
It is recognized that warnings should be as brief as possible, but
factors involved in filler valve and filling valves failure are not simple.
They need to be fully understood so that proper procedures and
maintenance can be used to prevent accidents. If there is a simple
warning, it would be:

Loosen filling valve from filler valve very slowly.


If there is a leak, know procedure to follow.

Quick-Acting Valves for Crop Driers and Charging Manifold Hoses
7554 Series
Application
7554S Series valves provide instant shut-off and fast opening control
on LP-Gas crop driers. They are also ideal for charging manifold
hoses, stationary fuel transfer hoses and other applications requiring
quick, positive shut-off. They are not for use with delivery truck hoses
because the handle could snag on the ground and open the valve as
the hose is reeled back to the truck.

7554L Series valves feature a locking handle device to help prevent


accidental opening of the valve. It is ideal for all the same applications
as the 7554S Series and may be used on delivery trucks as it
incorporates the locking handle design.

Both valve series must be installed so that flow through the valve is
opposite to that of a conventional globe valve. This allows the inlet
flow to assist in closing the valve and prevents the valve from being 7554S
opened by high pump pressures.

Features
• Quick-acting design speeds transfer operations, permitting rapid, UL
one-handed opening and closing. ®

• Resilient seat disc provides positive shut-off.

• Flange seal stem design provides for leak-proof operation. No

Flange Seal Liquid Transfer Angle Valves for Bulk Storage Containers
7550 and 7551 Series
Application
Designed especially for liquid transfer of LP-Gas from consumer bulk
storage containers when used with a Chek-Lok® or equipped with
an integral excess flow valve. May also be used for vapor LP-Gas
service.

In NH3 applicator tanks they may be used as a vapor bleeder valve


or as a liquid withdrawal valve when installed in a coupling with a dip
pipe.

These liquid transfer valves are equipped with an integral excess


flow valve for liquid transfer directly from the tank fitting, or without an
integral excess flow for LP-Gas transfer through a Check-Lok®.

When equipped with an integral excess flow valve (7550PX), the


valve should be mounted in a forged steel 3000 lb. half coupling.
When mounted in a 11⁄4” x 3⁄4” NPT reducing coupling, the 3⁄4”
female thread in this coupling must be full length — equivalent to a
forged steel 3000 lb. half coupling.
7550P UL A7550PX
The excess flow valve will not function properly if these specifications ®

are not met. Refer to the Warning Bulletin in the Excess Flow Valve
Section of this catalog.

Features
• Flange seal stem design provides for leak-proof operation. No
packing to retighten or replace.

E • Large, unrestricted interior ports reduce pressure drop through the


valve, increasing capacity and preventing cavitation.

• Resilient swivel seat disc assures longer seat life and easy, positive
shut-off.

• Plugged 1⁄4” NPT outlet boss accommodates hydrostatic relief valve


or vent valve.

Multipurpose Valves for Liquid Withdrawal of LP-Gas and NH3 Containers
A8017D & A8020D
Application
Designed especially for use as a high capacity liquid withdrawal valve
on LP-Gas and anhydrous ammonia containers.

These valves incorporate an integral excess flow valve. When product


is required, the valve must be completely open and backseated to
allow the excess flow valve to function properly as explained in the
excess flow valve section of this catalog.

The A8017DH is equipped with a soft seated automatic differential


back pressure check valve in the seat disc assembly. This allows any
pressure build up in the liquid transfer line in excess of 10-15 psig
above the container pressure to flow back into the container. The
transfer hose is protected against excessive liquid or vapor pressure
entrapment, which adds materially to the useful life of flexible hose.
In addition to increasing hose service life, the equalizing valve adds
substantially to the operating safety of liquid transfer systems.

Features A8017DP

• A8020D has a alugged 1⁄4” NPT port that accommodates vent


valve, hydrostatic relief valve, or pressure gauge.

• A8017DH incorporates an automatic back check valve built into


the shut-off valve, eliminating the need for a separate hydrostatic
relief valve.

LP-Gas Excess Flow Valves
Safety Warnings Purpose
In its continuing quest for safety, Engineered Controls International, Inc. publishes a series of bulletins explaining
the hazards associated with the use, misuse, and aging of LP-Gas valves and regulators. It is hoped that these
factual bulletins will make clear to LP-Gas dealer managers and service personnel, that the utmost care and
attention must be used in the installation, inspection, and maintenance of these products, or problems could
occur which would result in injuries and property damage.

The National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet #58 - 2004 Edition, “Liquified Petroleum Gas Code” states
that, “persons who transfer liquid LP-Gas, who are employed to transport LP-Gas, or whose primary duties fall
within the scope of this code shall be trained in proper handling procedures. Refresher training shall be provided
at least every three years. The training shall be documented.” These “ECII® Safety Warnings” may be useful in
training new employees and reminding older employees of hazards that can occur. It is recommended that all
employees be furnished with a copy of NPGA Safety Pamphlet 306-88, “LP-Gas Regulator and Valve Inspection
and Maintenance.”

scope of this bulletin.

It is sufficient to say that an excess flow valve must be installed in


the correct direction and will close only if the flow of liquid or vapor
exceeds its designed closing rating. Many valves have been installed
with closing ratings considerably higher than any flow that could be
obtained by a downstream rupture in piping or hoses and thus give
none of the protection for which they are intended.

emergency shut-off valves with remote controls is recommended in
addition to excess flow valves.

Testing
The National Propane Gas Association Safety Bulletin #113-78
states:

“In order to test an excess flow valve in a piping system, the


flow through the valve must be made to exceed the valve’s
closing rating. This testing should only be attempted by trained
personnel familiar with the process. If no one at the facility

be obtained. The exact procedure used may vary with the
installation, advisability of gas discharge and availability of
equipment.

In general, most testing makes use of the fact that excess flow valves
are “surge sensitive” and will close quicker under a sudden flow surge
than under steady flow. A sufficient surge can often be created by
using a quick open/close valve to control sudden, momentary flow
into a tank or piping section containing very low pressure. An audible
click from the excess flow valve (and corresponding stoppage of flow)
indicates its closure.

A test involving venting gas to the atmosphere is hazardous


and may be impractical, or illegal.

Any test of any excess flow valve will not prove that the valve will
close in an emergency situation, due to reasons cited before. This
test will only check the valve’s condition, and the flow rate sizing for
those test conditions.”
F
General Warning
4. LP-Gas pressure upstream of the excess flow valve,
particularly due to low temperature, is not high All ECII® products are mechanical devices that will eventually
enough to produce a closing flow rate. become inoperative due to wear, contaminants, corrosion and aging
of components made of materials such as metal and rubber.

The environment and conditions of use will determine the safe service
life of these products. Periodic testing at least once a year when tank
pressures are low and maintenance, as required, are essential.

Because ECII® products have a long and proven record of quality


and service, LP-Gas dealers may forget the hazards that can occur
because an excess flow valve is used beyond its safe service life.
Life of an excess flow valve is determined by the environment in
which it “lives”. The LPGas dealer knows better than anyone what
this environment is.

NOTE: There is a developing trend in state legislation and in proposed


national legislation to make the owners of products responsible for
replacing products before they reach the end of their safe useful
life. LPGas dealers should be aware of legislation which could effect
them.
5. Foreign matter
(such as welding
slag, scale or
sludge) is lodged
in the valve and
prevents closing.

Excess Flow Valves for Container Service
A7537 Series, A7539 Series, A8523 and A8525
Application
Designed for mounting in threaded full or half couplings in container
installations. They may be used for filling, withdrawal or vapor

Excess Flow Valves for Flange Mounting in Container Service
A3500 Series and A4500 Series
Application
Designed for mounting in flanged tank connections with internal
UL®

threads in the bottom of a container. They may be used in filling,


withdrawal or vapor equalizing application. They provide high
flow capacity with low pressure drop to minimize pump inlet line
cavitation.

If a riser pipe to the vapor space is used with these excess flow
valves, the minimum inside diameter of the riser pipe must be at least
two times the valve thread size in order not to restrict flow to the side
inlet ports.

Flange mounted excess flow valves are readily accessible for


servicing and completely enclosed and protected in event of fire.
Because there is no direct connection between external piping and
the valve, stresses imposed on piping will not affect the excess flow
valve.

Features
• Precision machined.
• Generous flow channels provide low pressure drop minimizing
cavitation in pump suction lines.
• Cotter pin prevents loss of spring retainer due to vibration in
service.
• Stainless steel spring provides consistent closing flow and long
service life.

NOTE: The opening in the tank flange should be machined with a


1⁄4”-45° chamfer at the outer edge. The thread should be tapped one
or two turns large as checked by a plug gauge. This and the undersize
thread on the valve should permit the valve to be installed so that its
outer face is at least flush with the outer edge of the flange.

The valve is screwed into this opening by fitting a 1⁄4” flat metal piece
into the slot and turning until hand tight. A lubricant may be used, but
a luting compound is not necessary since this joint does not have to
be gas tight.

If any difficulty is experienced in “making up” the valve to fit flush, as


indicated, the thread in the tank flange can be tapped.

Design and construction of tank and flange must be in accordance


with the appropriate section of the ASME Pressure Vessel Code.

each tank and a high capacity RegO® 7550P Series transfer valve

no more propane than 5% of their water capacity in liquid form during
transportation. These rules apply to containers manufactured after
July 1, 1961.
Chek-Lok® Operation
Instructions to Open Chek-Lok® Connecting the
1 Loosen cap to vent any accumulated LP-Gas from the Chek-Lok. 7590U or 7591U
After venting stops, remove the cap. If venting does not stop,
retighten the cap and use other approved means to withdraw liquid Chek-Lok®
from the container.
NOTE: Use a suitable size wrench when removing the cap and
adapter from the Chek-Lok. Do not allow the Chek-Lok to un- 7550P Angle Valve
thread from the tank during removal. When necessary, use a
second wrench to secure the Chek-Lok in position.

2 Before beginning withdrawal, securely connect an ECII® 7550P


angle valve or suitable shut-off valve to the adapter. Fully open the
shut-off valve – the valve’s handwheel must be fully opened before
connecting adapter to tank. 7590U-10 Adapter

3 Completely thread the adapter and shut-off valve assembly onto


the Chek-Lok by turning adapter’s coupling nut clockwise until it
is tight. Immediately close the shut-off valve. Listen for an audible
click to signal that the Chek-Lok has opened and is actuated for 7590U or 7591U Chek-Lok®
liquid withdrawal. The flow can now be controlled by the transfer
valve.

4 Check the coupling nut and adapter assembly for leaks using a Connecting the
suitable leak detection solution.
7572FC or 7580FC F
If the Chek-Lok fails to open after following this procedure, the
pressure downstream of the shut-off valve should be increased Chek-Lok®
to equalize pressure in the Chek-Lok. It is simple to equalize
pressures using vapor from either the vapor return valve or service
valve, or from a hose end valve connected to the delivery truck. 7550P Angle Valve

Instructions to Close Chek-Lok®


1 To re-lock the Chek-Lok, container pressure must be in excess of
35 PSIG. Close shut-off valve and disconnect the hose or piping.

2 Open shut-off valve fully. Liquid discharging to the atmosphere 7572-14A Adapter
should cause the excess flow feature of the Chek-Lok to close,
provided tank pressure is 35 PSIG or more.
If, for any reason, the excess flow valve does not close, the shut-
off valve must be closed immediately and must not be removed
until the system can be evacuated and the unit repaired. 7572FC or 7580FC Chek-Lok®

3 After the excess flow valve closes, remove the Adapter and Shut-
Off Valve Assembly.
In the absence of a 7550P transfer valve, a 3⁄4” A7505A Globe Valve
or A7506AP Angle Valve may be used. Follow the above procedures

CAUTION: Always wear approved protective gloves when working with the Chek-Lok®.Do not vent LP-Gas near possible source of ignition.

Chek-Lok® Mounting
Chek-Lok® Valves may be either top mounted with a dip tube
or bottom mounted. For bottom mounting, it is preferable to
position the coupling in the head or slightly off of the bottom.
This helps prevent the accumulation of sludge, etc. around the
valve which could affect the proper operation of the excess
flow valve.

one direction only. The check, normally held in the closed position by
a spring, precludes the possibility of flow out of the container. When
flow starts into the container, the pressure overcomes the force of
the spring to open the check. When the flow stops or reverses, the
check closes.

Warnings
Purpose
In its continuing quest for safety, Engineered Controls International, Inc. publishes a series of bulletins
explaining the hazards associated with the use, misuse, and aging of LP-Gas valves and regulators. It is hoped
that these factual bulletins will make clear to LP-Gas dealer managers and service personnel, that the utmost
care and attention must be used in the installation, inspection, and maintenance of these products, or problems
could occur which would result in injuries and property damage.

The National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet #58, “Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gases’’
states in section 1-6 that “In the interest of safety, all persons employed in handling LP-Gases shall be trained
in proper handling and operating procedures’’. These “ECII® Safety Warnings’’ may be useful in training new
employees and reminding older employees of hazards that can occur.

It is recommended that all employees be furnished with a copy of NPGA Safety Pamphlet 306-88 “LPGas
Regulator and Valve Inspection and Maintenance, 111-81 Limitations of Excess Flow Check Valves for LP-Gas,
and 113-78 Safety Considerations in Bobtail Deliveries.’’

Nature of Warnings
It is recognized that warnings should be as brief as possible, but the
factors involved in internal valve and excess flow valve failures to
perform are not simple. They need to be fully understood. If there is
a simple

Make sure that the internal valve’s excess flow feature really
closes when the flow exceeds rated closing flow, and that the
valve will shut-off.

This bulletin is not intended to be an exhaustive treatment of internal


valves, and certainly does not cover all safety practices that should
be followed in installation, operation and maintenance of LP-Gas
systems, which include internal valves.

Internal valves must be closed on Cargo Vehicles when traveling


G on public roads and highways. The valve should only be open
when pumping. Per MC 330 or 331, internal valves must also be
equipped with remote closure system, when used on transports
or bobtails.

There are two types of internal valves being used on storage


tanks, transports and bobtails — spring loaded internal valves and
differential pressure internal valves. They both provide positive shut-
off when product is not being withdrawn and may include excess flow
The exact procedure used may vary with the installation, advisability

of gas discharge and availability of equipment.
Spring Loaded Internal Valves
In general, most testing makes use of the fact that the excess flow
valves are “surge sensitive’’ and will close quicker under a sudden flow
Spring loaded internal valves are manually opened by levers, by

Pressure Differential Internal Valves (Flomatics)
Pressure differential valves (Flomatics) open by pump pressure and
close when the pump stops.
These valves must never be locked open by means of wires, chains,
pegs or other devices.

Testing

Testing should be completed on a periodic basis.

1. To check operation of a differential pressure internal valve activate


the remote control shut-off valve while the unit is pumping. If the
meter indicates that flow continues the valve should be repaired
immediately.

2. Since the differential pressure internal valve requires at least 18


psi to open and 8 psi over container pressure to keep open, a test
may be performed to check for closure. With the PTO disengaged,
connect delivery hose to a container with very low pressure. Then
with hose end valve open, engage PTO. The internal valve should
remain closed, no flow should be detected through the meter. If
flow continues through the meter the valve should be repaired
immediately.

3. Tight Shut-Off — A test should be made to insure the internal valve


will give a gas tight seal when the valve is in the closed position.
First insure the pump prime valve is closed by turning clockwise until
it seats. Then with the valve closed (PTO disengaged) the product
downstream from the internal valve will have to be safely removed.
If the internal valve does not give 100% seal, the valve should be
repaired immediately.

General Warning
All ECII® Products are mechanical devices that will eventually
become inoperative due to wear, contaminants, corrosion and aging
of components made of materials such as metal and rubber. G
The environment and conditions of use will determine the safe service
life of these products. Periodic testing at least once a year when tank
pressures are low and maintenance, as required, are essential.

Because ECII® products have a long and proven record of quality


and service, LP-Gas dealers may forget the hazards that can occur
because an excess flow valve is used beyond its safe service life.
Life of an excess flow valve is determined by the environment in
which it “lives’’. The LPGas dealer knows better than anyone what
this environment is.

NOTE: There is a developing trend in state legislation and in proposed


national legislation to make the owners of products responsible for
replacing products before they reach the end of their safe useful life.
LP-Gas dealers should be aware of legislation which could effect
them.

Flomatic® Internal Valve Operation

General Information
RegO® piston type Flomatic® Internal Valves are normally closed
and use pressure differential to provide completely automatic service.
Mounted directly between the tank body and pump, the Flomatic®
uses the pressure differential developed by the pump to open the
valve and it closes automatically when the differential no longer
exists.
This means the RegO® Flomatic® opens when the pump is on and
closes when the pump is shut off – fully automatic.

3. Pump On – Valve Open


The force below the pilot stem forces the piston up to open the valve;
rotating the INDICATOR SLOT to its vertical (valve open) position.
Pump differential pressure in area D holds the PILOT STEM and
PISTON open. Approximately 20 psig pump differential pressure is
required to open the valve; approximately 8 psig differential pressure
1. Normally Closed will hold the valve open.
When the valve is closed, liquid flows into the INLET PORTS, through
a channel in the PISTON, and into area A. It also flows down through
the PRIMING CHANNEL in the valve body, into area B beneath the
valve seat, and into area C to prime the PUMP.

4. Pump Off – Valve Closes


With the pump shut off, the pressure in area D which holds the

On The Job Service Guide for the Flomatic® Valve
Introduction
Efficient, profitable transport and delivery truck operations depend on
keeping the equipment working safely and efficiently under changing
conditions. It is important to know how to eliminate expensive delays
by handling unloading problems as they arise.

The purpose of this technical guide is to provide basic information on


the Flomatic® valve, along with simple, appropriate steps to follow in
the event things go wrong.

The Flomatic® valve is mounted on the bottom of your transport or


delivery truck tank, with the pump mounted immediately downstream.
When the pump starts to push the liquid down the piping, the
Flomatic® Valve opens automatically, allowing you to unload the tank,
and closes when the pump stops pushing. It takes at least 20 pounds
per square inch of “push’’ at the pump to open the valve.

Your flanged Flomatic® valve has an indicating shaft on it that


shows whether it’s open or closed (Figure 1). If the indicating shaft is
horizontal, the valve is closed. If it’s vertical, the valve is open.

A threaded type, diaphragm-operated Flomatic® valve has an


indicating shaft on the bottom, covered by a clear plastic hood.
The indicating shaft projects down when the valve is closed and is
concealed when the valve is open (Figure 2).

Important Facts About Pressure


When handling propane or anhydrous ammonia, storage and
transport tank pressures vary from about 20 pounds per square inch
or less when it’s cold to 200 pounds per square inch or more in hot
weather (Figure 3). If you’re hauling butane, tank pressures will be 50
pounds per square inch or less.

The transport or delivery truck tank pressure may be higher than the
storage tank pressure when you are ready to unload (Figure 4). This
G
is because your rig may have been freshly loaded at the terminal or
bulk plant without a vapor equalizing line and hasn’t had time to get
back to normal. Also, the storage tank pressure tends to drop when a
lot of LPGas is being used.

Troubleshooting on the Job


O.K. So you follow your procedures, hook up your hoses, open the
required valves and start your pump. The indicating shaft on the
Flomatic® valve moves to the open position and the liquid goes in to
storage. Great! You’re happy and so is the boss, and so are we.

But, let’s say you do these things, start the pump and the liquid
doesn’t move. Now, how do you find out what is wrong?

For Transport Trailer Trucks Only (Figure 7a)


1. Check the difference between the pressure
in your transport and the storage tank. If there’s
15 or 20 pounds per square inch more pressure
in the transport tank than in the storage tank,
chances are the Flomatic® valve won’t open.
This is because the pump can’t develop enough
“push’’.

If you have a good bypass valve on your rig


to send the extra liquid back into the tank, you
can merely close the liquid shut-off valve in the
discharge line and restart your pump (Figure 8a).
Now, the Flomatic® indicating shaft should move
to the open position (see Figures 1 and 2).

2. Slowly open the liquid shut-off valve in the


discharge line and the liquid will start to move out
of the transport. If the Flomatic® valve indicating
shaft starts to move toward the closed position
once you’ve opened this liquid shut-off valve
all the way, throttle the valve for a while until
the transport tank pressure drops to where the
Flomatic® valve indicating shaft will stay open.
Then, open the liquid shut-off valve all the way
until you finish unloading.
Figure 7a. Unloading Diagram of Transport Trailer Truck
The liquid flows out of the transport tank through the Flomatic® valve, into the pump and through the delivery hose to the storage tank. The vapor line
allows vapor to flow from storage back to the transport so that the storage tank pressure won’t build up too much and make the pump work harder
than necessary.

On The Job Service Guide for the Flomatic® Valve

3. If your pump system doesn’t have a


bypass valve, the liquid shut-off valve in
the discharge line should be left partially
open when you restart the pump. Just be
sure that the pump is pushing at least 20
pounds per square inch, so the Flomatic®
valve can open.

Don’t worry about how much it may slow


up your loading speed when you pinch
down the liquid shut-off valve to get the
Flomatic® valve open. Your pump is
running at constant RPM and will move
liquid at almost the same rate, even when
pushing harder. (It’s a lot like using engine Figure 8a. Unloading Diagram of Transport Trailer Truck

USE EXTREME CARE AT ALL TIMES WHEN WORKING AROUND YOUR VEHICLE!
Watch out for drive shafts and moving parts. It is common knowledge that serious injury
can result if any part of one’s body or clothing is caught in moving machinery.

If you manually open the Flomatic® valve, you are responsible for safely unloading the
liquid and closing the valve when you’re through. If this procedure is being followed,
under no circumstances must the valve be left unattended. The valve must never be
permanently held in the open position.

If you are not able to cause the Flomatic® valve indicating shaft to
move to the open position after completing the preceding steps, a
complete detailed diagnosis will have to be made.

In the meantime, you can actuate the flanged Flomatic® valve by


using a special wrench and attempt to unload manually (Figure 9).

If you still can’t unload by following the preceding steps, it is


suggested that you unload by an alternate method, such as through
the valve normally used for liquid filling.

In any event, if you haven’t solved the problem and the unit still
doesn’t operate properly, immediately take it out of service, have a
complete analysis made and repair as needed.

Extended Type Hose Couplings for Vapor and Liquid Service
A7571 and A7575 Series

Application
Designed especially for liquid filling and vapor equalization of LP-
Gas and anhydrous ammonia. The limited travel of the handle on the
tailpiece minimizes spin-off, encouraging cautious removal to properly
bleed off trapped product to assure closure of the filler valve and
hose end valve. The ACME threads are machined on a rugged steel
insert which is permanently cast in the aluminum handle, providing for
durability under repeated use.

UL
®

Features
• Lightweight aluminum handle is contoured and ribbed for added
comfort, easy handling allows for easy make-up.

• Free swivel action between tailpiece and handle allows for easy
make-up.

• Simplified design eliminates an extra joint and provides smooth,


uninterrupted flow.

ACME Check Connectors for Lift Trucks 7141F and 7141M
Application
These brass connectors are especially designed to join the carburetor
fuel line to the service valve on lift truck cylinders. Sturdy, long lasting
ACME threads allow quick, hand-tight assembly that provides for
quick and simple cylinder replacement. Back checks automatically
close in each connector when disconnected.

The 7141M couples directly to the service valve. An integral O-ring is 7141M 7141F
designed to seal before the internal check opens, aiding in product
loss prevention. A gasket at the ACME thread is a secondary seal
when the connectors are tightened together. The connector fits
RegO® lift truck cylinder filling adapters for fast, convenient filling.

The 7141F accepts fuel line adapter and couples directly to the
7141M. The O-ring seal in the 7141M is designed to seal before the
internal check opens to allow product to pass through the connection.
The knurled coupling eases threading and the ACME threads provide
rapid effortless make-up, even against LP-Gas pressure. PRODU

Unloading Adapters for Container Evacuation 3119A and 3120


Application
H
Designed to provide an efficient means of evacuating an LP-Gas
container for relocation or repair. They thread directly onto the 13⁄4”
ACME male hose connection of RegO® Filler Valves used on RegO®
Double Check Filler Valves and Multivalves®.

The unloading adapters can be used to withdraw liquid provided the


container is equipped with a dip pipe extending from the filler valve to
the bottom of the container.

Features 3119A

• Available in either angle or in-line type configurations.

• Built-in vent valve provides for a controlled release of gas which 3120
may be trapped within the unit after use and also helps to indicate
closure of the Filler Valve.

• Integral plunger has two different lengths of travel, ¼” and ½”,


depending on which way the lever is turned. Can be used with all
RegO® Filler Valves.

Filler Hose Adapters 3179A and 7577V
These adapters are designed with minimal flow restriction and
recommended for use on the outlet of the LP-Gas delivery truck filler
hose. If the controlled bleed off of the connection indicates the filler
valve on the tank being filled has failed to close, the hose adapter
should be left in place on the filler valve and disconnection should
be made at the regular filler hose coupling. (Repair of the filler valve
must be made as soon as possible). An integral check valve in these
adapters helps prevent further loss of product. The standard filler
3179B valve cap should be attached to these adapters when left on the
container.

1” Rotogages® for Large Mobile and Stationary Containers
9090 and AA9090 Series

Application
Rotogages® are designed to provide an accurate determination of
LPGas or anhydrous ammonia container contents. They mount in a
standard 1” NPT coupling on large mobile or stationary containers.

To operate the Rotogages®, the vent valve is opened and the dip
tube rotated slowly from the container vapor space to the liquid
space. The difference in appearance of the discharge indicates when
the liquid level is reached. Dial readings then indicate the percentage
of product in the container.

Features
• Supported design (TS Models) eliminates whipping and the need
for internal support hangers.

• Resistance-free nylon bearing inserts reduce friction and promote


operating ease.

• Dial face is dual calibrated to provide greater accuracy in reading


contents in containers which are not level.

• Interchangeable accessory dials permit interchangeable service


between LP-Gas and anhydrous ammonia. Rotogage® Assembly

pull-away. An excessive tension pull causes the valve to automatically
separate, closing two internal back pressure checks. Only a few cubic
centimeters of gas escape at the instant of separation.

It is recommended that a convenient means be provided to safely


remove the pressure from the line upstream of each coupling half to
enable reassembly of the valve. To reassemble, simply push the male
half firmly into the female half until the retaining balls slip into the
retaining groove. Check for leaks after reassembly.

NOTE: It is recommended that pull-away valves be maintained and A2141A6


safety tested perodically to confirm that they will separate properly in
the event of a pull-away. Lubrication every six months is essential to
the pull-away’s operation. Dry nitrogen or other inert gas is suggested
as a source of pressure for pull-away tests.
A2141A10
If the A2141 pull-away valve is going to be stored for a period of time,
A2141 Series such as in seasonal applications, it is recommended
that it be sprayed with a good grade of rust-preventive machine oil,
and covered to protect it from moisture.

Features
J
• Heavy-duty construction for long service life.

• A “true’’ pull-away type valve which simply reconnects by snapping


together without unnecessary downtime or need for new parts.

• Buna-N seals provide leak tight operation.

• 400 PSIG operating pressure.

RegO® Emergency Shut-Off Valves modified for remote pneumatic


shutdown operation retain all the operating features of the standard
valves.

Once equipped with pneumatic cylinders and then pressurized,


the pneumatic cylinder piston rod disengages from a striker plate,
allowing the ESV to be manually opened and the striker plate to act
as a latch and hold the valve open. Release of the control system

• Independent closed loop system allows the ESV to be


pneumatically charged, but opened or closed manually or with
cable controls to conserve pressurized gas.

Reliability

• Independent closed loop system will continue to hold pressure


and close ESV in an emergency - even if supply pressure is cut
off.

Security

Sight Flow Indicators for Bulk Plants
A7794 and A7796

Application UL
®

Designed to promote maximum pump efficiency, these indicators


enable bulk plant operators to visually inspect liquid flow conditions.
With glass on both sides of the indicator, flow can be observed from
either side, even under some poor light conditions. The integral swing
check also serves as a back-check valve to prevent reverse flow and
product loss if the hose fails in a loading operation.

By installing an indicator on the upstream side of the plant pump,


suction conditions can be observed and the pump speed adjusted to
obtain the maximum possible flow rate without cavitation. Additionally,
if an indicator is installed in the piping at the loading rack, just ahead
of the loading hose, the operator can maintain a constant check on
pump conditions.

Both installations are designed to allow for observation to provide


maximum pump efficiency and assure safe plant pump operation.

In compressor operations a sight flow indicator installed in the liquid


line will give a visual indication when the tank car or transport is
emptied. Compressor operation can then be immediately reversed to
start recovery of the vapor A7794

Features

Vent Valves 3165C, 3165S and TSS3169
Application
Especially designed to bleed off liquid or vapor pressures trapped
in transfer lines. When installed in the downstream boss of RegO®
globe and angle valves used at the end of a liquid transfer hose,
the bleeder valve allows for the controlled venting of the product
and indicates to the operator that the valves are closed and he can
disconnect the coupling. They may also be used as a fixed liquid level
gauge where the dip tube is part of the container.
3165C 3165S TSS3169
All these valves incorporate a No. 54 drill size orifice.

An optional instruction plate with “Stop Filling When Liquid Appears’’


may be ordered for use with these valves.

Needle Valves 1224, 1316 and 1318
Application
These valves are high quality, “true’’ throttling valves. Unlike most
socalled needle valves, both the body seat and stem are tapered to
provide fine, precise control over a wide range of adjustment without UL
stem galling. ®

The 1224 may be used as a small, inexpensive shut-off valve between


a pressure gauge and bulk storage container to allow for convenient
gauge replacement.

The 1316 and 1318 provide taper pipe thread by left hand hose
connection threads and are useful in a wide range of torch and fuel
burner applications where an accurate throttling action is required.
