Maxitrol RV48-3/4 Regulator

The Maxitrol RV48-3/4 is a professional-grade rubber seat poppet gas regulator engineered for precision pressure control in high-demand residential and commercial appliance applications. Featuring a 3/4" NPT connection, this main burner and pilot load regulator supports a nominal capacity of 250,000 BTU/hr, ensuring consistent performance for mid-sized gas equipment. It is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI and comes factory-set with a 3-6" w.c. outlet pressure range, though it can be adjusted to meet specific job site requirements using compatible Maxitrol springs.

Designed for multi-positional mounting, this aluminum-bodied appliance gas regulator handles temperatures from 32°F to 225°F. The straight-thru-flow design minimizes pressure drop, allowing for efficient gas delivery to burners. For service technicians, the Maxitrol RV48 is a reliable choice for maintaining stable manifold pressure and avoiding the nuisance of pilot outages or erratic flame patterns. Verify your flow rate and pipe size requirements against the Maxitrol capacity charts to ensure this poppet style regulator fits your specific installation environment.

• High Capacity Performance: Handles up to 250,000 BTU/hr, making it ideal for cooktops, boilers, and commercial ovens.
• Versatile Mounting: Optimized for multi-positional installation, simplifying retrofits in tight mechanical spaces.
• Precision Regulation: Rubber seat poppet design provides superior lock-up and consistent outlet pressure under varying loads.
• Industrial Durability: Rugged aluminum housing allows for a wide operating temperature range in demanding environments.
• Broad Compatibility: Suitable for natural, manufactured, mixed, and liquefied petroleum gases, as well as LP gas-air mixtures.

What is the maximum BTU rating for the Maxitrol RV48-3/4?
The RV48-3/4 has a nominal capacity of 250,000 BTU/hr. When used as a main burner regulator, it can handle up to 230,000 BTU/hr with a minimal pressure drop.

Can I use this regulator for Liquid Propane (LP) applications?
Yes, this model is compatible with LP gas. To calculate LP capacity, multiply the natural gas BTU/hr rating by 1.61 to determine the equivalent performance for your system.

Is the outlet pressure adjustable on this model?
This regulator features a standard spring range of 3" to 6" w.c. Adjustments should be made using a calibrated manometer to ensure the appliance manifold pressure matches the manufacturer’s specifications.
