4. Do not connect the actuator stem to the valve stem at this time. Whenever the actuator is installed on the valve, it
is recommended to perform the Bench Set Spring Adjustment procedure to verify that the actuator is still adjusted
correctly.

Discussion of Bench Set
The bench set pressure values are used to adjust the initial compression of the actuator spring with the valve‐actuator
assembly “on the bench.” The correct initial compression is important for the proper functioning of the valve‐actuator
assembly when it is put into service and the proper actuator diaphragm operating pressure is applied.
The bench set values are established with the assumption that there is no packing friction. When attempting to adjust
the spring in the field, it is very difficult to ensure that there is no friction being applied by “loose” packing.
