HD Series Pilot-Operated Regulators
PILOT-OPERATED REGULATORS
Pilot-Operated Regulators are more accurate and offer higher capacities than standard direct-operated regulators.
They will maintain constant set outlet pressure even when inlet pressure fluctuates or variations in flow occur. With the
proper selection of pilots, these regulators will accurately control temperature, pressure, or a combination of both.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The Watson McDaniel HD-Series pilot operated regulators were
designed for extremely accurate control of temperature and
pressure in steam service applications. 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. The most common options include the P-Pilot for pressure
reducing, and the T-Pilot for temperature control.

Standard pilot mounting is on the right side of the regulator
when looking into the outlet port (see diagrams on
next 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 higher
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.
Temperature
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 of 60-260˚F. Spec: ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class IV shut-off.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Pressure Regulating
• Temperature Regulating
• Pressure-Temperature Control
• Back Pressure Control
• Differential Pressure Control
On-Off
On-off control of the regulator is possible by using the S-Solenoid
Pilot. The S-Pilot allows the regulator to be shut off 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.
Pressure-Temperature
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
downstream 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, the BP-Pilot
is used in conjunction with the HD-Series Regulator. This controls
the pressure on the upstream side of the regulator.
Differential Pressure
The DP-Pilot is used when trying to balance two different media
sources that are being blended.
REGULATING VALVES
PILOT-OPERATED
COMBINATION PILOTS
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 “PT” PressureTemperature combination pilots. In addition to these pilots being
used together the S-Solenoid Pilot can be used for turning the
system on and off. (See next page for combination examples.)

The “A” Air Pilot is used with the HD Regulator to control
steam pressure on steam mains and process equipment.
The “A” Air Pilot can also be used in conjunction with the PTL or PTR pneumatic temperature controllers for controlling
temperature in process applications. The principal advantage
the “A” Air Pilot over standard spring loaded pilots is that
pressure adjustments to the regulator can be made from a
remote location. A regulator that is placed in a difficult to
reach or inaccessible location can be adjusted by a remote
control panel board placed in an accessible location.
HOW IT WORKS
When air pressure is applied to the upper chamber of the air
pilot it exerts a downward force on the air pilot’s diaphragm.
This force controls the outlet pressure of the steam through
the regulating valve. The control process is similar to a spring
loaded pressure pilot except that the air pressure takes the place
of the spring. There are three separate models of air pilots that
make up the complete range depending on the steam pressure
that needs to be controlled and the control air pressure available.
See Pressure Adjusting Ranges chart.

panel board can be adjusted to control the air
pressure to the pilot. One gauge on the panel
board measures air line pressure to the panel
board and the other gauge shows the air
pressure being sent to the pilot. Steam pressure
at the outlet of the regulator is controlled by the
air pressure signal to the pilot. Depending on
the air pilot model chosen (A1, A4, A6), there
will be a 1:1, 4:1, or 6:1 ratio of outlet steam
pressure to air pressure.

PTL & PTR Controller
Pneumatic Temperature Controller (used with Air Pilot)
The PTL and PTR Pneumatic Temperature
Controllers operate over a wider temperature
range than our standard “T” temperature pilot.
These temperature controllers also react quicker to
temperature change which make them an excellent
choice for instantaneous hot water applications.
HOW IT WORKS
The PTL and PTR Pneumatic Temperature
Controllers are used in conjunction with an
“A” Air Pilot to control the operation of the HD
Regulator. The PTL uses a bimetallic element to
sense temperature and the PTR uses a hydraulically
filled bulb with a 4-ft. capillary to sense temperature.
The air supply is connected to the inlet of the controller
and the air output signal is fed directly to an Air Pilot,
which controls the opening and closing of the steam
regulating valve.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The “DP” Differential Pressure Pilot is used with the HD
Regulator to maintain steam pressure at a balanced differential
pressure above another media source. This is typical on an oil
burner where steam used for atomization is injected into the oil
burner at a set pressure above the incoming oil supply. Therefore,
as oil pressure fluctuates based on demand, the steam pressure
will be maintained at a differential pressure above the oil pressure.

Over Pressure Protection Methods
Using “P” and “BP” Pilots
Back Pressure Regulators for Boiler Overload Protection
In steam systems with several applications of varying importance, a back pressure regulator may be used to prevent overloading of the
boiler by isolating non-essential loads from critical processes in the event steam demand exceeds boiler output. When steam demand
is greater than the capacity the boiler can generate, pressure in the boiler will drop, possibly upsetting the control balance in the boiler
resulting in the generation of wet steam. Using back pressure regulators on the non-essential application supply lines allows isolation
of these applications at times of peak demand by shutting off steam flow to areas deemed non-essential. This ensures that boiler
demand is not exceeded and steam flow is maintained to critical processes until demand subsides and the boiler is able to catch up.

Pressure Override Protection of Regulator Supply Lines
On multi-stage pressure reducing applications where a rise in control pressure due to failure of the final supply regulator could result in
equipment damage and/or personnel injury, a secondary pressure pilot may be added to provide override protection of a steam supply
line. During normal operation, the main pressure pilot on the 1st stage regulator provides intermediate pressure control while the
additional “monitor” pilot senses final control pressure and remains open due to a slightly higher setting than the final control pressure
setting. Should the 2nd stage regulator fail for any reason, increasing supply pressure will begin to close the monitor pressure pilot of
the 1st stage regulator, thus overriding the main control pilot preventing final supply pressure from increasing. This overpressure
protection can similarly be offered on single-stage reducing valves by protecting against failure of the main control pilot.

HOW IT WORKS
The temperature pilot controls the operation of
the temperature regulating valve. The temperature
sensing bulb, which is filled with a temperature
sensitive liquid, is placed in the process fluid that is
being heated. When the temperature of the process
fluid reaches its set point, the bellows expands and
closes off the pilot valve. When the pilot valve is shut,
steam can no longer pass thru to the underside of the
regulator diaphragm, and the main valve closes.
When the process fluid cools below the set
temperature, the main valve reopens.

HOW IT WORKS
When air pressure is applied to the upper chamber
of the air pilot it exerts a downward force on the
air pilot’s diaphragm. The lower chamber of the air
pilot is connected to the outlet side of the regulator
using a sensing line. The purpose of the sensing
line is to sense the pressure on the outlet side of
the regulator. When the intended set pressure is
reached, the pilot valve closes which then closes
off the flow path of steam to the underside of the
diaphragm chamber in the regulator body. The
regulator modulates maintaining the desired
downstream pressure regardless of the amount
of steam being used.

applications. This pilot-operated regulator is specifically used
in applications where the properties and benefits of Cast Steel
are desired and/or specified. Using steel as the material of
construction for the main valve body extends the temperature
ranges of the regulator. A unique two-bolt pilot adapter design
and field-reversible tubing offer even greater versatility to this
type of regulator, further reducing maintenance downtime.
These valves share the same design and proven reliability of
the Watson McDaniel HD-Series Regulators, providing extremely
accurate control of downstream system pressure even when

NOISE ATTENUATORS
Series-A
for Pressure Regulating Valves
Noise Attenuation Equipment is used to reduce unwanted or excessive noise that
The Series-A Orifice Plate with its drilled orifice pattern is
installed after the pressure regulating valve to smooth out
turbulence caused by the pressure drop across the regulator.
Noise reduction levels of 5-10 dBA can typically be achieved.
INSTALLATION
The Series-A Orifice Plate is installed between ANSI flanges
immediately after the regulator. If the regulator is a flanged unit,
the orifice plate is placed at the flange outlet connection.
