Temperature and Spring Pilot Combination
1. Install the temperature pilot next to the main valve.
2. Install a 1/4" NPT nipple between the outlet tapping
port of the temperature pilot and the inlet port of the
spring pilot.
3. The 1/4" feedback tapping port of the spring pilot
must be connected to the downstream piping:
• Use 1/4
black steel pipe
for the feedback line.
• Install a 1/4 NPT shut off valve and union in the
feedback line to allow service of the pilot while
operating the system on the by-pass line.
• The feedback line
must
pitch away from the pilot to
avoid erratic operation and excessive fouling and to
eliminate water pockets.
4. When the regulator is used with a heat exchanger,
connect the feedback line (B) (see illustration on
page 6 to the heat exchanger shell. A tee fitting can
be installed in the heat exchanger for a vacuum
breaker connection.
5. Insert the sensing bulb of the temperature pilot so the
full length of the bulb is exposed to the fluid whose
temperature is being controlled.
a) Use a 1/2 NPT compression fitting to install the
bulb at the outlet of instantaneous heaters and in
the middle of storage tanks.
b) The preferred bulb mounting when installed in the
system piping is illustrated on page 7.
c) Optional dry well (separable socket) allows the
sensing bulb to be removed from the tank or piping
without draining the system.
• When using a dry well, coat the bulb with high
temperature grease or heat transfer compound,
to aid heat transfer.
• Make sure that bulb and dry well are fully inserted
into the fluid being controlled.

Combination
Series 315 PNT Pilot
Series 240 PNT Pilot
1. Connect a regulated air supply to the "Reverse
Acting" inlet port of the 315 PNT pneumatic
temperature pilot.
2. Do not plug the "Direct Acting" inlet port of the
pneumatic temperature pilot. This port serves as
an air bleed.
3. Connect the output "Signal" port of the pneumatic
temperature pilot to the top of the AP-1A or AP-4A
pneumatic air pilot.
1. Connect a regulated air supply to the "Supply Air"
port of the 240 PNT pneumatic temperature pilot.
2. Connect the output "Branch Air" port of the pneumatic
temperature pilot to the top of the AP-1A or AP-4A
pneumatic air pilot.
