IOM-1078

PILOT INTERNALS:

 Install new o-ring (35) around the 

groove adjacent to the threads on pilot mount (37)(for 
1” SIZE); on pilot connector (47) (on 2” SIZE). Install 
o-ring (21) around the outside groove of the spindle 
(20). Install o-ring (22) in the internal groove at the 
lower end of the spindle. 

NOTE: 

O-RINGS MUST BE 

ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY.

Position spacer (26) on top of the pilot mount / 
connector. Insert the spring (25) and guide pin (24) into 
the spindle (20) and place these parts into the center 
of the spacer with the small end of spindle oriented up.
Lower the pilot body over the top of the spindle.   Ensure 
that the top of the spindle enters into the small opening 
in the center of the body.  

NOTE:

  The lower diaphragm 

case may not have been removed from the pilot body.

Press down on the top of the pilot body or center of the 
lower diaphragm case and slowly and evenly rotate CW 
to engage the threads on the pilot mount or connector 
to the pilot body. It is not necessary to use any tool to 
ensure a tight seal between the pilot body and the pilot 
mount / connection.

NOTE:

 The inlet for the pilot body should be in-line and 

directly above the inlet of the main body. If the pilot 
ports need re-positioning:

     For 1” SIZE:  

Loosen the cap screws (11) of the 

mounting plate and turn the pilot mount to orient the 
pilot ports in the proper direction. Re-tighten the cap 
screws to 13-15 ft-lbs.

     

For 2” SIZE:  

Use a combination of tightening the 

pilot connector (47) onto the piston housing (124) and/
or rotating the piston housing one bolt hole. Tighten the 
cap screws to 15-18 ft-lbs.

For DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY:

 Install center bolt 

(17) in a vise with the threaded end up. Install one 
bolt gasket (18) between the center bolt and the lower 
support plate (16) as shown on the drawing. 

NOTE:

 

The support plate should be install with the smooth 
side up.

Lay the diaphragm (13) on top of the lower support 
plate.  

NOTE:

 Place diaphragm with the flute facing up 

for pressure set point or facing down for vacuum set 
point.

An identical gasket (18) is used between the upper 
surface of the sense diaphragm (13) and the bottom 
side of the upper support plate (16). 

NOTE:

 The 

support plate should be install with the smooth side 
down. This is to ensure a tight squeeze on both sides 
of the sense diaphragm to effect a tight seal.

Install washers (33), lockwasher (12) and nut (015).  
Torque nut 13-15 ft-lbs. Place the diaphragm assembly 
on the lower case and align the bolt holes.  Align the 
holes in the ring gasket (14) and place it on top of the 
diaphragm assembly.  Position spring (7) in the center 
of the diaphragm assembly.

NOTE:

 Washers are used to center the lower end of 

the spring. It may sometimes be necessary to “thread” 
the spring onto the washer or onto spring button (6). 
You will find that turning the end of the spring in one 
direction against the spring button or washers will tend 
to close the coils and make installation more difficult. 
However, turning the spring in the opposite direction 
will tend to open the coils for easier installation.

Apply anti-seize compound to the recess in the spring 
button (6) and set spring button on top of the spring.

Align the match marks between the upper and lower 
cases and place the upper diaphragm case assembly 
on top of the ring gasket (14).  

NOTE:

  The vent outlet 

for the upper case should align with the pilot body’s 
inlet.

Install  cap screws,(11), washers (12) and nuts (15). 
Tighten to 13 - 15 ft-lbs.  Thread adjusting screw (2) 
with jam nut (3) into the spring bonnet (5).  Install 
closing cap (1).

Reconnect all tubing, Ensure all tubing is clean and 
unobstructed.
