Maxitrol RV20VL-1/4 Regulator

The Maxitrol RV20VL-1/4 Regulator is a robust rubber seat poppet model engineered for precise pressure control in main burner and pilot load applications. Designed with a high-strength aluminum die-cast housing, this compact gas appliance pressure regulator features a 1/4" NPT connection and handles a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI. It is factory-set for a 3-5" WC outlet pressure range, making it a reliable solution for residential and commercial cooking equipment, hearth products, and pilot lines. The integral vent limiting orifice eliminates the need for external vent piping in most jurisdictions, simplifying installation in tight cabinet spaces. Compatible with natural gas, LP, and mixed gases, the RV20VL-1/4 ensures stable delivery pressures for optimal combustion performance. Its multi-position mounting capability allows contractors flexibility during field retrofits or new equipment installs, while the poppet design maintains high sensitivity at low flow rates.

• Integral Vent Limiting: Factory-installed orifice ensures safe operation and simplifies compliance with installation codes by removing the requirement for dedicated vent lines.
• Precision Regulation: The rubber seat poppet design provides exceptional shut-off and consistent 3-5" wc outlet pressure even under varying inlet conditions.
• Durable Construction: Built with a professional-grade aluminum die-cast housing to withstand the rigors of commercial kitchen and HVAC environments.
• Fuel Versatility: Engineered for multi-fuel compatibility, including natural gas, manufactured, mixed, and liquefied petroleum (LP) gases.
• Compact Footprint: Designed for easy integration into manifold systems for barbecues, space heaters, and specialized pilot burner assemblies.

Does this regulator require an external vent line?
No, since this model includes an integral vent limiting orifice, it is designed to limit the escape of gas to within ANSI standards in the event of a diaphragm failure, typically negating the need for external venting.

Can I install the RV20VL-1/4 in any orientation?
This regulator supports multi-position mounting; however, for the most accurate pressure control and to ensure the vent limiter functions correctly, installing in an upright position is the best practice for trade professionals.

What is the maximum flow capacity for this unit?
The RV20VL-1/4 is specifically rated for high performance in low-flow applications, such as pilot lines and small appliances, with a typical capacity rating of up to 65,000 BTU/hr depending on gas type.
