Interchangeable valve apparatus for use with fluid regulators are described herein. An example valve apparatus described herein includes a first retainer is removably coupled to a fluid flow passageway of a fluid regulator between an inlet and an outlet. The first retainer comprises a first housing having a first bore to receive a flow control assembly and the first retainer has a first opening coaxially aligned with the first bore to define a first orifice of the fluid flow passageway when the retainer is coupled to the fluid regulator. The fluids regulator also includes a second retainer different than and interchangeable with the first retainer, where the second retainer comprises a second housing having a second bore to receive the flow control assembly. The second retainer has a second opening coaxially aligned with the second bore to define a second orifice of the fluid flow passageway when the second retainer is coupled to the fluid regulator. The first retainer provides a first fluid flow characteristic and the second retainer provides a second fluid flow characteristic different than the first fluid flow characteristic. |
