T Y P I C A L A P P L I C AT I O N S
The Watson McDaniel HD-Series and D-Series pilot operated
regulators were designed for extremely accurate control of
temperature and pressure in steam service applications.
The D-Series is made of Cast-Iron. The HD-Series is made of
Ductile-iron for extended pressure and temperature ratings.
These regulators use several different control pilots, which can be
attached to the valve to control pressure, temperature, or a
combination of both. The different control pilots can be added or
removed from the regulator body. This modular design adds to
the versatility of this product. This product line offers a complete
range of overlapping pressure ranges with clearly marked colorcoded springs. The most common options include the P-Pilot for
pressure reducing, and the T-Pilot for temperature control.

CONTROL PILOTS
Pilot Mounting
Standard pilot mounting is on the right side of the regulator
when looking into the outlet port (See diagrams on
opposite page which are all right mounted). For opposite
mounting, please specify when ordering. Pilot mounting on
HD regulators are field reversible.

Pressure
When controlling pressure there are several options you can use
for a pilot. The P-Pilot and the P5-Pilot are both spring adjusted
pressure pilots. The P-Pilot is used on typical general-purpose
pressure reducing applications. The P5-Pilot is used when added
accuracy is required and is capable of maintaining a control
pressure window of less then 1 PSI. The A-Pilot is air controlled
and generally used when adjustment of the regulator and
pressure reducing station is done remotely.

The HD-Series is the upgraded model

for the D-Series Regulator.
HD & D internal components and pilots
are interchangeable.

On-Off
On-off control of the regulator is possible by using the SSolenoid Pilot. The S-Pilot allows the regulator to be shut down
or turned on electrically. Normally the regulator is equipped with
either a P-Pressure Pilot or T-Temperature Pilot in addition to the
S-Solenoid Pilot.

P r e s s u r e - Te m p e r a t u r e
The PT-Pilot combination is used when it is desirable to control
both the pressure and temperature of a system with only one
regulating valve. The unique features of this modular valve allow
this to be accomplished quite easily. When the PT-Pilot combination
is used, the down stream pressure is limited to a maximum setting
by the pressure pilot, while the temperature pilot maintains the
correct temperature.

Back-Pressure
When controlling the back pressure in a steam system, BP-Pilot
is used in conjunction with the HD-Series Regulator. This
controls the pressure on the up-stream side of the regulator.

Te m p e r a t u r e

C O M B I N AT I O N P I L O T S

The T-Pilot is used to control temperature. The T-Pilot is filled

with a temperature sensitive liquid, which expands when heated.
The expansion of this liquid actuates a bellows that controls the
temperature-regulating valve. The T-Pilot is equipped with an
overheat bellows that protects the pilot in case of an over
temperature condition. The T-Pilot controls temperature through
a range from 60-260F.

One of the advantages of the HD-Series regulating valve is

that it can be used with many different variations of control
pilots. Up to three pilots can be used simultaneously to control
the operation of these valves. The most common is the
Temperature-Pressure combination pilot. In addition to these
pilots being used together the S-Solenoid Pilot can be used for
turning the system on and off.

No external power source is required.

This simplifies the valve and minimizes

installation and maintenance costs.
Pressure and temperature pilots can be used
in combination eliminating the need for a
separate pressure and temperature regulator.
The modular design allows any pilot to be
added to the main regulating valve. This
adds flexibility and reduces inventory.
Available in Ductile iron for higher-pressure
ranges and increased safety. Ductile Iron is a
better choice than cast-iron for steam
applications.
The HD regulators come standard with full
port strainers and blow down valve on the
pilot mount to guard against dirt in the steam
system which cause other regulators to fail.
Hardened stainless steel trim (55Rc) for
extended life even in the most demanding
applications.
The innovative design allows the pilot to be
mounted on either side of the regulator and
is easily field reversible.
Comes fully assembled with tubing and pilot
adapter. The control pilot requires only four
bolts to complete the installation.

T Y P I C A L A P P L I C AT I O N S
The Watson McDaniel HD-Series pilot-operated
regulators were designed for steam applications.
Pilot-operated pressure regulating valves are the
best choice when downstream pressure must be
accurately controlled regardless of variations in
upstream pressure and varying steam load
conditions. There are several types of control
pilots that can be used with these regulators to
control pressure, temperature, on/off control,
or a combination of all three.
The HD-Series is the upgraded model
for the D-Series Regulator.
HD & D internal components and pilots
are interchangeable.
