GROEBNER is proud to offer PF’s pressure regulators for natural gas pipelines, which offer a vast range of pressure regulation capabilities.
As we celebrate 45 years of business, GROEBNER continues to work with integrity, quality, and excellent service to expand our industry-leading supply chain. Our supplier partners offer the highest quality, latest technology, and the best value with timely delivery. We are pleased to introduce you to one of our most recent partnerships – Pietro Fiorentini (PF). PF is a manufacturer of technological solutions for the natural gas industry. They are successful throughout the world, with more than 80 years in the energy industry. GROEBNER is proud to offer PF’s pressure regulators for natural gas pipelines, which offer a vast range of pressure regulation capabilities.
What Pietro Fiorentini Offers
PF regulators have a proven track record of meeting the toughest regulator needs. They are reliable and maintenance-free, unlike comparable regulators on the market. They all incorporate PF’s SafeGateTM Technology, a built-in safety feature to protect against both over and under pressure on the regulator. With SafeGate, the main diaphragm is doubled, as a redundant back-up. It also includes a vent limiter inside the regulator, which limits the gas flow, in case of diaphragm failure. Finally, the SafeGate technology used in PF regulators includes a slam-shut valve for over pressure protection.
PF FE and PF FEX Series Regulators
PF offers a full line of regulators to meet varying natural gas line size and pressure needs. Their FE and FEX series are the top solution for abnormal operating conditions. They meet NFPA 54 standards, regarding the clearances needed from windows, doors, and ignition sources. They are also certified to exceed the standards of ANSI Z21.80a and CSA.66a for 10 psi inlet applications, ANSI B109.4, and CSA B149/CSA 6.18.
Both the PF FE and FEX series are ventless regulators and can be mounted in any position. Both include over and under pressure shut-off devices. The FE series is used in residential applications with a capacity up to 875 SCFH. The FEX series is used for commercial installations with capacity up to 3500 SCFH.

PF80 and PF120 Regulators
The PF80 and PF120 spring loaded direct-acting natural gas pressure regulators are suited for commercial and industrial applications requiring low and medium delivery pressures. The modular design allows for easy adaptation of multiple optional overpressure protection devices to fit almost any application requirement.
The PF80 body connections range from 1-1/4” to 2” NPT while the PF120 is 2” 125# FF flanged. Both regulators are built with a balanced valve, which improves the consistency of the outlet pressure setting as inlet pressure. The balancing valve allows an opposite force equal to the inlet pressure to be applied on the back side of the orifice's seat disk. This feature improves the consistency of the outlet pressure setting as inlet pressure vary.

Norval Regulator
The Norval is a downstream pressure regulator, self actuated, spring loaded for medium and low pressure applications. It is suitable for gaseous, non-corrosive, previously filtered fluids. It has a quick response to varying operating conditions and its excellent accuracy of regulation, even in presence of significant variations of the upstream pressure and/or flow rate, make the Norval regulator a good fit for distribution networks.
The Norval regulators range in size from 1” to 8” with a NPT or flanged 150RF rating. It is classified as Fail Open according to the European Standard EN 334.
