Apparatuses to control a fluid flow characteristic of fluid regulator bypass valves are described. An example apparatus includes an insert having a body sized to be inserted in a passage of a bypass valve. The body includes an opening to fluidly couple a bore of the body to an outer surface of the body. The opening being shaped to produce a predetermined flow characteristic in response to at least a portion of a restrictor of the bypass valve moving relative to the opening to vary a fluid flow through the opening and the bypass valve.

1. An apparatus to control a fluid flow characteristic of a fluid regulator bypass valve, comprising: an insert having a body sized to be inserted in a passage of a bypass valve, wherein the body includes an opening to fluidly couple a bore of the body to an outer surface of the body, the opening being shaped to produce a predetermined flow characteristic in response to at least a portion of a restrictor of the bypass valve being rotated relative to the opening to vary a fluid flow through the opening and the bypass valve, wherein the restrictor is to threadably engage the bypass valve. 2. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the bore of the body is to receive the restrictor. 3. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the restrictor is adjacent to at least a portion of the opening. 4. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the passage of the bypass valve is different from a second passage of the bypass valve that is to receive the restrictor of the bypass valve. 5. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the body comprises an elongated body through which the opening is defined. 6. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the body comprises an elongated body having a collar. 7. The apparatus as defined in claim 6, wherein the elongated body defines a second opening of the bore that is substantially perpendicular the opening. 8. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the bore includes at least one groove that is to receive a seal. 9. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the body defines a seat to to be engaged by the restrictor. 10. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the predetermined flow characteristic is at least one of a linear flow characteristic, an equal percentage flow characteristic, or a modified flow characteristic. 11. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the insert is integrally coupled to the passage of the bypass valve. 12. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the insert is comprised of at least one of a plastic material or a metal material. 13. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the restrictor is externally accessible to enable manual field adjustment. 14. An apparatus to control a fluid flow characteristic of a fluid regulator bypass valve, comprising: an insert having a body sized to be inserted in a passage of a bypass valve, wherein the body includes an opening to fluidly couple a bore of the body to an outer surface of the body, the opening being shaped to produce a predetermined flow characteristic in response to at least a portion of a restrictor of the bypass valve being rotated relative to the opening to vary a fluid flow through the opening and the bypass valve, wherein the insert further comprises a clip that is to engage a recess of the bypass valve to hold the insert in the bypass valve. 15. The apparatus as defined in claim 14, wherein the clip is positioned substantially opposite the opening. 16. An apparatus to control a fluid flow characteristic of a fluid regulator bypass valve, comprising: an insert having a body sized to be inserted in a passage of a bypass valve, wherein the body includes an opening to fluidly couple a bore of the body to an outer surface of the body, the opening being shaped to produce a predetermined flow characteristic in response to at least a portion of a restrictor of the bypass valve moving relative to the opening to vary a fluid flow through the opening and the bypass valve, wherein the insert further comprises a clip that is to engage a recess of the bypass valve to hold the insert in the bypass valve, wherein the clip is a snap-fit clip. 17. An apparatus to control a fluid flow characteristic of a fluid regulator bypass valve, comprising: an insert having a body sized to be inserted in a passage of a bypass valve, wherein the body includes an opening to fluidly couple a bore of the body to an outer surface of the body, the opening being shaped to produce a predetermined flow characteristic in response to at least a portion of a restrictor of the bypass valve moving relative to the opening to vary a fluid flow through the opening and the bypass valve, wherein the insert comprises a groove to engage a ridge of the bypass valve.
