Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual provides installation, operation, maintenance, and
parts information for the Fisher 377 trip valve. Refer to separate instruction
manuals for information regarding the control valve, actuator, and
accessories.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a 377 trip valve without being fully
trained and qualified in valve, actuator and accessory installation,
operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is
important to carefully read, understand, and follow all of the contents of
this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If you have any
questions regarding these instructions contact your Emerson sales office
before proceeding.
Description
377 pressure‐sensing trip valves, shown in figures 1, 2, and 3, are for control applications where a specific valve/actuator action is required when supply pressure falls below a specific point. When supply pressure falls below the trip point, the trip valve cause the actuator to fail up, lock in the last position, or fail down. When the supply pressure rises above the trip point, the 377 trip valve automatically resets, allowing the system to return to normal operation. The trip valve can be top‐mounted on a manifold, yoke‐mounted, or bracket‐mounted to match the application requirements. 377 trip valves are used with all types of piston actuators

Installation
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before mounting the controller:
- Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal injury.
- Overpressuring any system component could result in personal injury or property damage due to fire and explosion caused by venting or leakage of the supply medium. To avoid such injury or damage, provide suitable pressure‐relief or pressure‐limiting devices if the supply pressure is capable of exceeding the maximum allowable pressure of the system component.
- Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
- If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.
CAUTION
Do not use sealing tape on pneumatic connections. This instrument contains
small passages that may become obstructed
by detached sealing tape. Thread sealant paste should be used to seal and
lubricate pneumatic threaded connections.
The 377 trip valve is normally ordered as part of a control valve assembly.
Follow the procedure in the appropriate valve body and actuator instruction
manual when installing the control valve in the piping.
If the 377 trip valve is shipped separately from the control valve assembly,
the installation procedure depends upon the type of actuator and accessory
equipment required for the individual control valve system. Install any
accessory
equipment in the control valve system so that the overall functioning of the
specified trip valve pressure line connections is not disrupted. Figures 7, 8,
and 9 are schematics showing the pressure line connections for each of the
three possible fail‐mode configurations of the trip valve.
CAUTION
377 trip valves are leak tested to ensure that the intended actuator fail mode
is maintained upon loss of supply pressure.
Control system accessories, such as volume boosters with hard seats,
compromise the integrity of the entire system due to leakage. Therefore, using
control system accessories, such as volume boosters, between the trip valve
and the actuator is not recommended. If this cannot be avoided and a volume
booster is required, a volume booster designed for tight shutoff, such as the
Fisher 2625, provides a higher probability of control system integrity. Refer
to figures 5 and 6 for proper installation of 377 trip valves with 2625 volume
boosters.

Supply Pressure Requirements
WARNING
Severe personal injury or property damage may occur if the instrument air supply is not clean, dry, and oil free. While use and regular maintenance of of a filter that removes particles larger than 40 micrometers in diameter will suffice in most applications, check with an Emerson field office and instrument industry air quality standards for use with corrosive gas or if you are unsure about the proper amount or method of air filtration or filter maintenance.
CAUTION
Do not use sealing tape on pneumatic connections. This instrument contains
small passages that may become obstructed
by detached sealing tape. Thread sealant paste should be used to seal and
lubricate pneumatic threaded connections.
Instruction Manual
A supply regulator, if used, must have a flow capacity greater than the required combined capacity of the trip valve and actuator. In order to ensure proper selection of a supply regulator, be sure the Cv value of the regulator is greater than the appropriate flow path Cv value listed in table 1 for the trip valve. A regulator with insufficient capacity may allow supply pressure to droop, which can cause the trip valve to trip again and begin a trip‐reset cycle. An example of an appropriate supply regulator to use with a 377 trip valve is a 64 regulator; its capacity is usually great enough to meet the demands of most trip valve/actuator combinations. Determine the requirements of your trip valve/actuator combination for proper selection of a supply regulator.
Note
During normal operation, an adequately sized supply regulator maintains a greater supply pressure than the pressure demand of the trip valve and control devices. However, if the normal actuator piston position is not relatively close to the actuator piston fail position during startup, or during the restoration of supply pressure, the regulator supply pressure may droop and cause the trip valve to trip again and begin a trip‐reset cycle. To prevent this, perform the following steps:
- Adjust the instrument (control device) pressure to position the actuator piston as it is positioned in the fail
- Restore the supply pressure to the normal operating
- Manually reset the instrument pressure for normal
WARNING
If a flammable or hazardous gas is used as the supply pressure medium, personal injury or property damage could result from fire or explosion of accumulated gas or from contact with hazardous gas. The positioner/ actuator assembly does not form a gas‐tight seal, and when the assembly is enclosed, a remote vent line, adequate ventilation, and necessary safety measures should be used. However, a remote vent pipe alone cannot be relied upon to remove all hazardous gas. Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.
Note
To ensure trip system integrity upon loss of supply pressure, a 377D or 377U
trip system requires a volume tank and check valve as shown in figures 7 and
9.
State and local regulations may require the use of ASME approved volume tanks.
Determine requirements and applicable regulations for proper volume tank
selection.
For ASME approved applications, the volume tank is rated at 10.3 bar (150
psig) internal working pressure, and has a safety valve with a 10.3 bar (150
psig) set pressure mounted on the volume tank for pressure relief. Avoid
supply pressure too near the safety valve set pressure. To ensure safety valve
seat tightness and longevity, the recommended maximum supply pressure is 9.3
bar (135 psig).
Standard volume tanks supplied in Europe must conform to Directive 2009/105/EC
for simple pressure vessels. The maximum pressure rating is stated on the tank
For standard applications (not ASME approved), a DOT tank is used. This tank
is rated at 14.5 bar (240 psig) in LP service. When used with air, the rating
should be considered to be 10.3 bar (150 psig), consistent with the maximum
pressure allowed for the 377 trip valve.
- Before installing the trip valve, inspect it to be sure it is free of any foreign material.
- Be sure all connecting tubing is free of foreign material.
- Use acceptable piping practices when installing the trip valve. Coat all external threaded connections with a pipe compound.
CAUTION
To avoid damage and possible operational impairment to the trip valve, be
careful not to get excessive pipe compound on
the connections. Excess compound could result in improper pilot and cylinder
valve operation.
CAUTION
To ensure the integrity of control systems utilizing a 2625 volume booster in conjunction with a 377 trip valve, apply supply pressure to the volume booster and to the volume tank (volume tank not required on 377L trip valve) through a check valve. Failure to install the check valve properly will allow the cylinder pressure to bleed back through the open volume booster supply port upon loss of supply pressure. The actuator may not fail as intended.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage could result from bursting of parts due to temperature fluctuations or extreme heat. If temperature fluctuations or extreme heat cannot be avoided, use a relief valve to protect the volume tank.
4. Read the following information before making pressure connections:
a. Trip valve port A must receive the operating pressure that is intended for
the top of the actuator cylinder.
Depending on the actuator type and accessories being used, this operating
pressure will be from a valve positioner or switching solenoid.
b. Trip valve port B must provide operating pressure to the top of the
actuator cylinder. Depending on the actuator type and accessories being used,
connect this port to the manifold assembly, to the top of the cylinder, or to
the
cylinder connection on the hydraulic snubber (if one is used).
c. Trip valve port C must provide a fail‐mode outlet for the operating
pressure to or from the top of the actuator cylinder. For the fail‐down mode,
connect this port to the volume tank. For the fail‐up mode, vent this port to
atmosphere. For the lock‐in‐last‐position mode, plug this port.
d. Trip valve port D must receive the operating pressure that is intended for
the bottom of the actuator cylinder.
Depending on the actuator type and accessories being used, this operating
pressure will be from a valve positioner or switching solenoid.
e. Trip valve port E must provide operating pressure to the bottom of the
actuator cylinder. Always connect this port to the bottom of the actuator
cylinder.
f. Trip valve port F must provide a fail‐mode outlet for the operating
pressure to or from the bottom of the actuator cylinder. For the fail‐down
mode, vent this port to atmosphere. For the fail‐up mode, connect this port to
the
volume tank. For the lock‐in‐last‐position mode, plug this port.
Operating Information
Calibration
This calibration procedure assumes that the trip valve is mounted on the actuator (or other device) and that all piping and the appropriate volume tank (if necessary ) are installed. All key numbers refer to figure 10. For the appropriate fail‐mode schematic, see figure 7, 8, or 9.
WARNING
The following procedure requires taking the trip valve out of service. To avoid personal injury and property damage by an uncontrolled process medium, provide some temporary means of control of the process medium while the trip valve is out of service.
-
Remove the adjusting screw cap (key 1).
-
Loosen the hex nut (key 3), and turn the set screw (key 2) counterclockwise until all loading is removed from the spring (key 6).
-
Connect an adequately sized gauge for the supply pressure reading to the supply line. To make the fail action more visible, adjust the control device signal so that actuator stem movement is visible when the trip valve is actuated.
-
For the lock‐in‐last‐position mode, remove the plugs from ports C and F.
-
Set the supply pressure at the required trip point pressure (refer to table 1 for the trip point limits)
Note For proper calibration, completely back out the set screw (key 2) until there is no spring compression. Then, set the trip point by turning the set screw clockwise to compress the spring. -
Slowly turn the set screw clockwise to compress the spring until the trip valve trips. When the trip valve trips in the
fail‐up or fail‐down mode, the actuator stem moves to the appropriate position. In the lock‐in‐last‐position mode, the actuator stem does not move, however, air will be heard escaping from ports C and F. This is because pressure is being released from both sides of the actuator cylinder. -
Tighten the hex nut (key 3), and install the adjusting screw cap (key 1).
-
For the lock‐in‐last‐position mode, reinstall the plugs in ports C and F.
-
Reset the control device for normal operation.
Principle of Operation
377D Trip Valve
Figure 7 illustrates trip valve operation in the fail‐down mode.
In normal operation, supply pressure loads the upper diaphragm of the trip
valve. The valve plug spring keeps the exhaust port closed. Supply pressure
also loads the lower diaphragm through the restriction, causing the plug
assemblies to move down and isolate ports C and F while connecting port A to B
and port D to E. Normal actuator control pressure from the control device is
applied to the top of the cylinder through ports A and B and to the bottom of
the cylinder through ports D and E. A volume tank is charged to the maximum
supply pressure through a check valve. The check valve maintains maximum
supply pressure in the volume tank if the supply pressure drops.
When the supply pressure falls below the trip point, the exhaust port opens
venting the supply pressure that is loading the lower diaphragm. This causes
the upper ports of the plug assemblies to close and disconnect normal pressure
from the control device to the actuator.
Volume tank pressure is then applied through ports C and B to the top of the
actuator cylinder, while pressure in the bottom of the actuator cylinder is
vented through ports E and F. The pressure imbalance created forces the
actuator piston down.
When supply pressure is restored, it again loads the upper and lower diaphragms causing the trip valve to reset. The exhaust port closes, the upper ports of the plug assemblies open, and the lower ports close. Normal actuator control pressure from the control device is restored through ports A and B and ports D and E. The check valve opens and recharges the volume tank to the maximum supply pressure.
377L Trip Valve
Figure 8 illustrates trip valve operation in the lock‐in‐last‐position mode.
When supply pressure falls below the trip point, the exhaust port opens
venting supply pressure from the lower diaphragm. This causes the upper ports
of the plug assemblies to close and the lower ports to open. Because ports C
and F are plugged, no pressure change occurs on either side of the actuator
piston and the piston is pressure‐locked in position. No volume tank is
necessary in this mode.
When supply pressure is restored, the plug assemblies move back into the
normal operating position. Supply pressure from the control device is applied
to the actuator through ports A and B and ports D and E.
Figure 8. Fisher 377L Trip Valve Shown in Tripped Condition
377U Trip Valve
Figure 9 illustrates trip valve operation in the fail‐up mode. The fail‐up mode of operation is similar to the fail‐down mode of operation except that the connections to port C and F are reversed. When supply pressure falls below the trip point, the top of the actuator cylinder vents, and volume tank pressure loads the bottom of the actuator cylinder. The pressure imbalance created forces the actuator piston up.
Figure 9. Fisher 377U Trip Valve Shown in Tripped Condition
Maintenance
Trip valve parts are subject to normal wear so the trip valve must be actuated periodically to determine if it is working properly. If the trip valve does not work properly, use the following procedures to inspect and repair or replace parts as necessary. The frequency of inspection and repair or replacement depends upon the severity of service conditions. Be sure to note the location of all pressure connections to ensure proper trip valve installation upon reassembly, or use the installation procedures in this instruction manual. All key numbers refer to figure 10 unless otherwise indicated.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing any maintenance operations:
- Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal injury.
- Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
- Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
- Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
- Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
- Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
- Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
Periodic Operational Check
WARNING
The following procedure requires taking the trip valve out of service. To avoid personal injury and property damage by uncontrolled process medium, provide some temporary means of control of the process medium while the trip valve is out of service.
- Isolate the actuator/valve assembly from the process loop.
- Provide a means of monitoring the supply pressure input to the trip valve.
- Starting with normal supply pressure applied to the trip valve, slowly reduce the supply pressure until the trip valve trips. The trip valve should trip at the pressure set during the calibration procedures.
- Increase the supply pressure until the trip valve resets. This should occur at a supply pressure 12.5 to 33 percent above the trip point.
- If the trip valve fails to trip and reset at the calibrated settings, refer to the calibration procedures.
- If the trip valve will not calibrate, continue with the following maintenance procedures.
Trip Valve Part Replacement Procedures
WARNING
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance Section in this
instruction manual.
Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both
sides of the valve body, and drain the process media from both sides of the
valve. If using a power actuator, also shut off all pressure lines to the
power actuator, release all pressure from the actuator. Use lock‐out
procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on
the equipment.
Replacing Diaphragms and Valve Plug Parts
CAUTION
Care must be taken during the following procedure to prevent damage to the
upper diaphragm.
Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both
sides of the valve body, and drain the process media from both sides of the
valve. If using a power actuator, also shut off all pressure lines to the
power actuator, release all pressure from the actuator. Use lock‐out
procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on
the equipment.
Replacing Diaphragms and Valve Plug Parts
CAUTION
Care must be taken during the following procedure to prevent damage to the upper diaphragm.
-
Remove the adjusting screw cap (key 1), and loosen the hex nut (key 3) that locks the set screw (key 2). Loosen the set screw to remove all spring compression.
-
Remove the cap screws (key 7, not shown) from the spring case, and lift off the body assembly (key 16) and attached parts from the trip valve body (key 21). Note the orientation of the vent and supply connections to the body (see figure 1).
-
Remove the cap screws (key 20, not shown) and separate the diaphragm (key 17), diaphragm spacer (key 19), and the pusher plate (key 18) from the rest of the body assembly. Lift off the spring case (key 4), travel stop (key 75, aluminum housing only), upper spring seat (key 5), and spring (key 6).
-
Take out the upper diaphragm assembly (keys 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15).
-
Carefully unscrew the spring seat (key 9) from the upper diaphragm retainer (key 13). Be careful not to lose the valve plug (key 14), valve guide (key 8), and spring (key 10). Also be careful not to damage the upper diaphragm (key 12).
-
Inspect the upper diaphragm, valve plug, body assembly, and O‐ring (key 15) for nicks, scratches, or cuts that could cause leakage. Replace parts as necessary. Make sure the O‐ring (key 15) is properly lubricated (key 77) to avoid
leakage past the O‐ring. -
With the spring (key 10), spring seat (key 9), valve plug (key 13), valve guide (key 8), diaphragm washer (key 11), and upper diaphragm (key 12) in place, screw the upper diaphragm retainer (key 13) and spring seat (key 9) together, being careful not to damage the diaphragm.
-
Inspect the lower diaphragm (key 17) and pusher plate (key 18), and replace them if damaged or excessively worn.
-
Place the upper diaphragm assembly (keys 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15), travel stop (key 75, aluminum housing only), spring (key 6), upper spring seat (key 5), diaphragm spacer (key 19), pusher plate (key 18), and diaphragm (key 17) onto the body assembly (key 16). Secure the body assembly parts to the spring case (key 4) with the cap screws (key 20). Position the supply and vent connections as noted in step 2.
-
Note the orientation of the supply connection to the body (see figure 1). Attach the assembly, from step 9, to the body (key 21) with the cap screws (key 7, not shown). Tighten the screws.
