Abstract
A fluid regulator includes an actuator assembly and a body secured to the actuator assembly. The body defines an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid passage disposed between the inlet and the outlet and includes a first opening and a second opening. The first opening is dimensioned to receive a portion of a slam-shut device and is formed through a first side of the body between the inlet and the outlet. The second opening is dimensioned to receive a portion of the slam-shut device and is formed through a second side of the body, opposite the first side, between the inlet and the outlet. A slam-shut device is positioned at least partially within the first opening, extends into the body, and is secured to the body and a plate is positioned over the second opening and secured to the body.
