The following example shows how to register a standalone control and set its value.

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {FormControl, Validators} from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'example-app',
  template: `
     <input [formControl]="control">

     <p>Value: {{ control.value }}</p>
     <p>Validation status: {{ control.status }}</p>

     <button (click)="setValue()">Set value</button>
  `,
})
export class SimpleFormControl {
  control: FormControl = new FormControl('value', Validators.minLength(2));

  setValue() {
    this.control.setValue('new value');
  }
}
