INTRODUCTION

Scope
This instruction manual provides installation, maintenance,
and parts ordering information for 795 Series double-
diaphragm pressure-balanced actuators. Consult separate
instruction manuals for information regarding valve bodies
and other accessories.

Description
The 795 Series double-diaphragm actuamrs are combined
with Fisher easy-e control valve bodies to form differ-
ential-pressure regulators (see figure 1). The Type 795 and
795s actuators are normally used with Designs ED and EK

between the effective areas of the diaphragms at a given
