Frequently asked questions

What is the FE regulator used for?

FE is a two-stage, spring loaded service regulator for residential and commercial users on low pressure natural gas networks. It takes inlet from 0.1 to 7 bar, or 8.6 bar on request, and delivers 13 to 180 mbar (BP) or 181 to 500 mbar (TR). Nominal capacity is 6 to 50 m³/h across the FE6, FE10, FE25 and FES models.

Why is the FE classified as Fail Close?

Under EN 334 the FE is classified Fail Close because it is always supplied with an overpressure slam shut (OPSO). An optional excess flow valve enables UPSO, and a thermal valve option is listed. Standard, extended (-30 °C) and arctic (-40 °C) versions exist, and the FE is compatible with biomethane and hydrogen blends up to 20%.

Do you supply the FE in Saudi Arabia and the GCC?

Yes. Pietro Fiorentini Saudi Industry in Al Khobar supplies and supports the FE for residential and commercial gas networks in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. Tell us the inlet pressure, outlet pressure and capacity you need, and we will prepare a quotation.
