Maxitrol RV12-1/8 Regulator

The Maxitrol RV12-1/8 is a compact, poppet-style appliance gas regulator engineered specifically for low-capacity burner and pilot line applications. This 1/8" NPT unit is a staple for technicians servicing residential and commercial cooking equipment, barbecues, and hearth systems. With a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI and a precise outlet pressure range of 2.8–5.2" w.c., it ensures stable flame performance and reliable gas flow control even in space-constrained installations. The internal rubber seat poppet is designed for superior shutoff integrity, while the integral vent limiting orifice eliminates the need for external vent piping in most indoor applications, simplifying your manifold assembly.

Key Benefits:

• Internal Vent Limiter: Features an integral vent limiting orifice for safe indoor operation without additional plumbing.
• Precision Poppet Design: Utilizes a high-grade rubber seat poppet to ensure consistent regulation and tight shutoff at low flow rates.
• High Compatibility: Rated for a main burner capacity of up to 30,000 BTU/h, making it ideal for pilot loads and small burner manifolds.
• Robust Construction: Built with a durable aluminum die-cast body to withstand the rigors of commercial kitchen and HVAC environments.
• Service Versatility: Suitable for use with natural gas, manufactured, mixed, and LP gas-air mixtures.

Common Questions:

Does this regulator require an external vent line?
No. The Maxitrol RV12-1/8 includes an integral vent limiting orifice (L-style), which meets safety standards for ventless indoor installation under specific code requirements.

What is the maximum BTU capacity for this model?
This regulator supports a main burner load of approximately 30,000 BTU/h and a combined main burner and pilot load of 25,000 BTU/h at standard differentials.

Can I use this for propane (LP) applications?
Yes, the RV12 series is compatible with LP gas, though you must ensure the outlet pressure range of 2.8–5.2" w.c. matches your equipment's manifold pressure requirements.
