Maxitrol 220E-1 1/2 Regulator

The Maxitrol 220E-1 1/2 is a high-capacity, servo-operated pilot loaded gas regulator designed for commercial and industrial applications requiring precise pressure control over wide flow ranges. Featuring 1 1/2" NPT pipe connections, this unit manages a maximum inlet pressure of 10 PSI while maintaining a stable outlet pressure range of 1 to 3 PSI. The servo-design is critical for balancing large load variations, ensuring consistent manifold pressure for boilers, furnaces, and large-scale atmospheric burners. The Maxitrol 220 series construction utilizes high-strength aluminum for the body and internal components, providing durability against mechanical stress in demanding boiler room environments. This pilot-operated gas regulator eliminates the droop common in direct-acting standard regulators, making it essential for equipment requiring high accuracy and rapid response times. Technical field integration ensures compatibility with natural, manufactured, mixed, liquefied petroleum gases, and LP gas-air mixtures.

• Precision Pressure Management: The servo-operated mechanism provides high accuracy across a wide range of flow rates, mitigating pressure fluctuations.
• High Flow Capacity: Engineered for 1 1/2" piping systems, supporting large BTU demands without significant pressure drop.
• Rugged Construction: Built with high-grade materials to withstand the rigors of industrial gas distribution systems.
• Versatile Media Compatibility: Suitable for use with various fuel gases, including Natural Gas and Propane, ensuring broad application flexibility.
• Reliable Lock-up: Designed to provide firm shut-off characteristics when the system is in a no-flow state.

Gas Regulator Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of a pilot-loaded design over a standard spring regulator?
A pilot-loaded or servo-operated design like the Maxitrol 220E utilizes internal gas pressure to assist in positioning the main valve. This results in superior accuracy and higher flow capacities compared to direct-acting regulators, which often suffer from "spring droop" at high flow rates.

Can the 220E-1 1/2 regulator be mounted in any orientation?
For optimal performance and to maintain the accuracy of the 1-3 PSI outlet pressure, the regulator should be installed in a horizontal pipe run with the diaphragm in a vertical position. Always ensure the direction of flow matches the arrow cast into the regulator body.

What is the maximum inlet pressure rating?
This specific high-pressure gas regulator is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 10 PSI. Exceeding this limit can damage internal components and compromise system safety.
