REFERENCE DESCRIPTION
REGULATOR INSTALLATION: Shows proper vent position when making new installations or updating old ones. Discusses both safety improvements and longer service life effects of installation with vents positioned correctly.
FLOODED EQUIPMENT: Potential hazards of regulators, tank and cylinder valves, propane gas lines, and bulk plant equipment completely submerged by floodwaters.
TWO-STAGE REGULATION: Advantages of two-stage regulator systems such as giving more uniform regulation, better relief protection, and reduced trouble calls.
TROUBLESHOOTING TRUCK PUMPING SYSTEMS: Discusses problems, possible causes, and potential solutions to bobtail or transport pumping system that doesn't work.
SAFETY PRACTICES FOR DOMESTIC TANK FITTINGS BULLETIN (LP-26): Periodic maintenance and inspection requirements of several domestic tank fittings such as filler valves, relief valves, liquid withdrawal valves, and service valves.
HOW COLD WEATHER AFFECTS TANK CAPACITY BULLETIN (LP-27): Covers the tank and its vaporization rate during winter conditions. Also discusses temperature differential which is an important consideration in the vaporization equation.
KEEPING FISHER INTERNAL VALVES WORKING BULLETIN (LP-19): A thorough discussion about the operation, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting procedures for Fisher internal valves.
INSPECTING LP-GAS REGULATORS: WHAT TO LOOK FOR BULLETIN (LP-32): Service life of a regulator, how to reduce chance of vent blockage, and ways to inspect for internal corrosion.
COMPLYING WITH NFPA 58 TRANSFER AREA AND BULK PLANT LIQUID OPENING REQUIREMENTS BULLETIN (LP-29): How valves and accessories can be used to satisfy NFPA 58 requirements regarding the transfer area at LP-Gas bulk plants.
GIVE A REGULATOR ATTENTION IT DESERVES BULLETIN (LP-15): How domestic self-operated regulators work and gives installation and maintenance tips.
HOW DRIP LIPS CAN PREVENT REGULATOR FREEZE-UPS BULLETIN (LP-18): Shows how drip-lip style vents can reduce the possibility of vent blockage due to freezing rain or sleet.
FACTS ABOUT FREEZING REGULATORS BULLETIN (LP-24): How a regulator can freeze internally and tells how to minimize freeze-up problems.
TRANSFER AREA VALVING BULLETIN (LP-37): Introduces and shows features of different transfer area valving such as emergency shutoff valves (ESV), back check valves, and internal valves for bulk plant and tank car applications.
