• Superior Performance—Repeatability meets the U.S. Minerals Management Service test tolerances referenced in Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Order No. 5 and defined in the American Petroleum Institute (API) RP14C standard.
• Easy Maintenance—Simple modular construction plus a line of prepackaged parts kits makes pilot maintenance fast and easy.
• Reliable Operation—The pilot uses a field-proven Bourdon tube process pressure sensing element that reduces maintenance by eliminating the need for wetted dynamic O-rings.
• Environmental Packaging—Construction materials have been selected to protect the pilot from corrosive environments such as the salt spray atmosphere of offshore platforms.
• Vibration Resistance—The rugged Bourdon tube sensing element and shock-absorbing switch points dampen the effects of vibration while maintaining performance.

• Set Point Accuracy—Standard high-resolution set point adjustments are easy to set, non-interactive, and can be locked in place to maintain the desired set point. The optional set point indication assemblies on the front panel are easy to read and let you simply dial in the desired set point.
• Cost-Effective Design—One pilot provides either a high-low function or a single switch point, whichever the application requires.
• Installation Versatility—Panel, rack, pipestand, or actuator mounting is available to meet field requirements.
• Operational Indications—A supply pressure test function is provided. The optional output indicator lets you check at a glance whether the pilot output pressure is at full output or zero output pressure.
• NACE Conformance—An N05500 nickel alloy Bourdon tube is available for those applications where the pilot must meet the requirements of NACE Standard MR0175-2002.
