A. General Information
1. Before putting the reconditioned valve in service,
it must be set to open at the required set pressure.
Although the valve can be set on the service
installation, it is more convenient to set the valve
and check seat tightness on a test stand.
2. Test Equipment:
The test stand used for testing POSRVs normally
consists of a pressure source supply line with
a throttle valve and receiver that have the
following features:
a. Outlet for attaching the valve to be tested
b. Pressure gauge with a shutoff valve
c. Drain line with a shutoff valve
d. Adequate receiver volume for the valve to
be tested and to achieve proper operation
3. Test Media:
For best results, valves shall be tested by type,
as follows:
a. Steam valves are tested on saturated steam.
b. Air or gas valves are tested on air or gas at
ambient temperature.
c. Liquid valves are tested on water at ambient
temperature.
B. With Standard Options
Note: Seal all pipe threads with a non-organic sealant
or Teflon
®
tape.

1. Attach pilot to main valve using two Socket Head
Cap Screws (Bracket).
2. Install the 3/8” O.D. tubes (Refer to Table 13 for
sizing of tubing) into the fittings for the inlet and
dome ports. Make sure the tube ends are fully
inserted before torquing. Begin torquing the fitting,
about midway down; verify that Swagelok Gap
Inspection Gauge (Swagelok P/N MS-IG-468) will go.
Continue to torque down fitting until Swagelok Gap
Inspection Gauge will not go. After torquing, remove
to assure the ferrule is in good contact with the
tubing. Refer to Table 14 and Figure 53 to determine
if ferrule has seated itself properly. Reinstall the
tubing.

3. The vent port of the pilot valve is vented to
atmosphere in standard configuration.
