The Type 92B Pressure Reducing Valve is the standard steam valve for industry. The Type 92B is designed to
provide decades of continuous service. It can withstand dirty operating environments while providing accurate and
stable pressure control. The Type 92B is applied as a main Pressure Reducing Valve in industrial process heating
applications such as heat exchangers, evaporators, digesters and reactors. Commercial applications include
Pressure Reducing Valves for meter runs found in district energy systems, hot water heat exchangers, absorption
chillers and boiler deaerator tanks.
The Type 92B is rated for inlet pressure up to 300 psig / 20.7 bar and inlet temperatures to
600°F / 316°C. Maximum controlled outlet pressure is 250 psig / 17.2 bar. A large
actuator and heavy main spring ensures high accuracy and stability over its entire
steam flow range.
A safety override pilot is available for the Type 92B pressure reducing valve.
The Type 92B pilot is used in a series installation with the Type 6492HM safety
override pilot installed on the upstream valve. The Type 6492HM safety override
pilot senses pressure downstream of the second valve and prevents pressure from
rising above safe operating pressure in the event the downstream valve fails. This
system is approved by ASME B31.1-1989, 122.14.2.A and can replace an ASME
safety valve when vent piping is not practical and upstream steam pressure does
not exceed 400 psig / 27.6 bar. Local codes and standards may require approval
by an appropriate authority prior to installation.

Figure 2. Typical Type 92B Construction
Two-ply
construction and dual flex points increases cycle
life compared to conventional designs. Stainless
steel material ensures satisfactory operation at
high steam temperatures.
Valve seats are individually
lapped for tight shutoff. Beveled seats ensure
easy in-line lapping. Plug and valve seats are
constructed of hardened stainless steel which
reduces wire drawing in wet steam applications.
NPT, CL125 FF,
CL150 RF, CL250 RF and CL300 RF end
connections are ANSI standard face-to-face
dimensions. The Type 92B main valve is also
available with PN 16/25/40 RF end connections.
Pilot bellows reduces
sticking from scale build-up due to boiler carryover.

Plugging from
scale and rust is reduced as
condensate will not pool in
critical areas.
Downstream
pressure registers under main
valve and pilot diaphragms
improving response time.
Top and
bottom seat guides with Inconel

bushings eliminate lateral plug
instability and premature stem wear.
