Governor OPD PFG300 OPD - Regulator with Integrated Over Pressure Device, 10 psig Inlet

PFG300 OPD is a regulator from the GOVERNOR series with an integrated Over Pressure Device, CSA certified to ANSI Z21.80 / CSA 6.22 as a Class II Line Gas Pressure Regulator for inlet pressure up to 10 psig (689 mbar), with an outlet pressure range from 2″ w.c. to 14″ w.c. (5 to 35 mbar). It allows vent-limited, multi-position installation and provides positive dead-end lockup for sizes 1/2″ through 4″. It also features a double diaphragm with an integral vent limiter, an external vent limiter, and a balanced valve design for increased capacity and accuracy.

Pietro Fiorentini lists this model in its “Governors - USA only” range (CSA / ANSI certified). Contact us to confirm availability for your project.

Key Features

Integrated Over Pressure Device

Regulator with an integrated Over Pressure Device (worker and monitor arrangement for added safety).

Monitor Keeps Outlet Below CSA Limit

If the regulating regulator fails, the monitor regulator takes over at a safety pressure normally 70% above the regulator pressure, keeping the set point below the CSA limit of 2 psig.

CSA Class II Certified

Certified to ANSI Z21.80 / CSA 6.22 Class II for outlet pressures up to 14″ w.c. and inlet pressure up to 10 psig.

Hydrogen Ready

Suitable for NG-H2 blending.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Over Pressure Device on the Governor OPD?

The Governor OPD (PFG300 OPD) has a worker and a monitor regulator in series. If the working regulator fails, the monitor takes over at a safety pressure normally 70% above the working set point, keeping the outlet below the CSA limit of 2 psig. It is certified Class II to ANSI Z21.80 / CSA 6.22.

Should I choose the Governor OPD or the Governor Dual Cut?

Both are Class II line regulators for inlet up to 10 psig with certified outlet of 2 to 14 inches w.c. and sizes from 1/2 to 4 inches. The Governor OPD accepts a lower inlet, from 7 inches w.c., and protects with a monitor. The Governor Dual Cut needs at least 3 psig inlet and protects with a fixed 1.7 psig upstream stage.

Can the Governor OPD be supplied outside North America?

Pietro Fiorentini lists the Governor OPD in its USA range, certified to CSA / ANSI standards. Contact us with your application and inlet conditions, and we will confirm availability for your project and whether the certification matches your requirements.
