Prior to valve startup:
New Installations
Blow down inlet steam piping to remove any debris 
such as weld beads by opening the drain valve of the 
inlet strainer to the control valve. Close the isolation 
valve and disassemble strainer to remove accumulate 
debris. Repeat as necessary until strainer basket is 
free of debris.
Old Installations
Open all upstream and downstream drain valves at 
drip legs and strainers to drain condensate that may 
have accumulated during the shutdown period. Crack 
the inlet isolation valve to the pressure reducing 
stations to ush any residual condensate. Close the 
drain valves once the drain is free of condensate.  
Pilot Adjustment
Loosen hex nut on screw before adjustment. To adjust 
the downstream reduced pressure setting, turn the set 
screw clockwise into the spring case to increase the 
downstream pressure setting. Turn it counterclockwise 
out of the spring case to decrease the setting. Tighten 
it once adjustment is made.
Type 92B
To put the valve into operation after installation or 
after disassembly for inspection or repairs, proceed as 
follows, referring to Figures 4, 9 and 10 as necessary.
  1.  Relieve all spring compression on the pilot spring 
by loosening hex nut (key 16) and turning set 
screw (key 15) counterclockwise (out of the  
spring case).
  2. Open the upstream block valve.
  3. Open the downstream block valve slowly.
  4. Close the bypass valve.
  5.  Slowly turn the set screw of the pilot clockwise 
into the spring case until the downstream pressure 
reaches the required setting. Tighten hex nut on 
the set screw.
Safety Override System
Use the following procedure to put the system into 
operation, referring to Figure 3 as necessary:
  1.  Remove all pilot control spring compression  
from the Type 6492HM safety override pilot  
by turning the adjusting screw out of the spring 
case (counterclockwise).
  2.  Adjust the Type 92B upstream working pilot’s and 
Type 92B downstream working pilot’s adjusting 
screws into the spring case (clockwise) to their 
maximum adjustment.
  3.  Slowly open the upstream block valve to introduce 
inlet pressure to the system.
  4.  Open the downstream block valve and control line 
block valves, if used.
Note
Some ow is needed to make pressure 
settings accurate.
  5.  If a bypass is used, slowly close the bypass line 
block valve.
  6.  Adjust the Type 6492HM safety override pilot to 
the desired downstream override pressure. The 
safety override pilot’s setpoint must be higher than 
the downstream working pilot’s setpoint by the 
amounts listed in Table 4.
Note
The normal pressure and maximum 
override pressure should be set at 
or below the safe working pressure 
of the equipment and piping system 
downstream. (Reference applicable 
codes and/or standards for maximum 
allowable or safe working pressures for 
equipment and piping systems served.) 
  7.  Adjust the Type 92B downstream working pilot to the 
desired normal downstream control pressure.
  8.  Adjust the Type 92B upstream working pilot to the 
desired intermediate control pressure (typically 50% of 
inlet pressure). 
  9.  Readjust the Type 92B downstream working pilot to 
the desired normal downstream control pressure,  
if necessary.
10.  Tighten the lock nuts on all pilots to lock the 
adjusting screws in position.
