Type 77 Vacuum Pressure Regulator

An adjustable opposing range spring increases controlled pressure outputs up to 150 psig.

Output pressure droop under varying downstream flow conditions is minimized by use of an aspirator tube which adjusts the air supply valve opening in accordance with flow velocity. A balanced supply valve, utilizing a reinforced rolling diaphragm, keeps regulator output virtually immune to changes in supply pressure. Stack-up construction makes the Type 77 easily serviceable, without removing it from the air line.

The Type 77 provides precise control in sub atmospheric pressure applications. Specific uses include sample collecting systems, air quality monitoring, parts coating operations, and other industrial functions requiring controlled system pressure from 29″ Hg vacuum to 150 psig. 

The regulator may be installed either upstream or downstream from the vacuum pump. Upstream installation is preferred when rapid evacuation of a vessel or system is required, because the exhaust capacity of the pump is normally greater than that of the regulator.

In all other applications, the regulator can be located between the pump and the vessel.
