Item

Definition

Mooney Pilot

Trademarked name of pilot.

Series

Model number of pilot.

Control Pressure

The control pressure is limited to the 

spring range of the spring on the pilot 

(Refer to Fig. 4 for Series 20 & 20S 

pilots)

Sense Pressure

Maximum allowable pressure in sense 

Inlet & Outlet 

Pressure

Maximum allowable pressure (psig) to 

the Inlet and Outlet ports. 

Loading Pressure

Maximum allowable pressure (psig) to 

the Loading port.

Spring Case  

(Vent) Pressure

Maximum allowable pressure (psig) to 

the Spring Case (Vent) port.

Bolt Torque

Recommended bolt torque for spring 

case in foot pounds.

Red, Plated, Blue, 

Purple, Black and 

Green

Each spring is color coded to indicate 

the control pressure range

Adjusting Screw 

Spacer

The black and green springs require a 

spacer on the adjusting screw to avoid 

over compression.

Maintenance

Pilot  parts  are  subject  to  normal  wear  and  must  be  inspected 

and  replaced  as  necessary.  The  frequency  of  inspection  and 

replacement of parts depends on severity of service conditions 

and/or the requirements of local, state, and federal regulations. 

Be certain that the name plates are updated to accurately indicate 

any field changes in equipment, materials, service conditions, or 

pressure settings.

WARNING: Before disassembly make sure the regulator and 

pilot have been isolated from the process by closing block 

valves on the inlet and outlet sides of the regulator. Safely 

release pressure and process fluid from the regulator body 

and pilot system. Failure to properly complete these steps 

may result in personal injury and property damage.
