Maxitrol RV47L-3/8 Regulator
The Maxitrol RV47L-3/8 is a professional-grade appliance gas regulator engineered for main burner and pilot load applications requiring precise control of low-volume flows. Built with a straight-thru flow design, this 3/8" NPT gas regulator maintains high sensitivity and accuracy for residential and light commercial equipment. It features a rubber seat poppet for superior shut-off and seating, ensuring reliable pressure regulation in hearth products, barbecues, and cooking appliances. The unit is equipped with an integral vent limiting orifice, eliminating the need for a separate vent line in many jurisdictions. This natural gas and LP regulator is rated for a 1/2 PSI maximum inlet pressure and provides a versatile 2.8-5.2" w.c. outlet pressure range. As a direct replacement, the RV47L-3/8 is functionally identical to the Maxitrol RV47L-33, offering seamless HVAC part compatibility for field service technicians and contractors managing gas train maintenance.
