CS400IR-8EC7 (Fisher) LP Gas Regulator-2nd Stage | 1-1/2 FPT | 7.6M BTU | 10-14 Inch WC
Fisher CS400IR-8EC7 Commercial / Industrial Second Stage LP Gas Regulator
The Fisher CS400IR-8EC7 is a high-capacity, second-stage LP gas pressure regulator designed for commercial and industrial propane applications requiring reliable pressure reduction and consistent downstream gas delivery.
Part of the Fisher CS400 Series, this direct-operated, spring-loaded regulator provides a maximum rated propane capacity of 7,600,000 BTU per hour and features 1-1/2 inch FNPT inlet and outlet connections for integration into commercial gas distribution systems.
The regulator is factory-set at 11 inches water column (WC) and features an adjustable outlet pressure range of 10–14 inches WC, allowing the outlet pressure to be adjusted to meet system requirements.
Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the CS400IR-8EC7 incorporates internal pressure registration and internal relief functionality in a durable cast iron body.

Installation and Application Notes
The Fisher CS400IR-8EC7 is intended for use as a second-stage regulator in an appropriately designed LP gas system.
Capacity Note: The rated capacity of 7,600,000 BTU/hr is based on specified inlet pressure and pressure-droop conditions. Actual available capacity depends on operating conditions and system design.
Important: Additional external overpressure protection may be required to comply with NFPA 58 and applicable installation codes. The regulator's internal relief feature should not be assumed to satisfy all overpressure protection requirements.
Regulator selection, sizing, installation, adjustment, and servicing should be performed by qualified LP gas professionals in accordance with Fisher instructions and applicable regulations.
