Maxitrol R600-1 Regulator
The Maxitrol R600-1 is a commercial-grade gas appliance regulator designed for high-capacity applications requiring precise pressure control. Featuring a double diaphragm balanced valve design, this 1" NPT regulator maintains a steady outlet pressure despite significant fluctuations in inlet pressure. The R600-1 is engineered for both main burner and pilot load applications, making it a versatile choice for infrared heaters, industrial boilers, and oversized residential systems. It supports a maximum inlet pressure of 1.0 PSI (Maxitrol tested) and comes pre-set with a 3-6" w.c. outlet pressure range. Constructed from rugged die-cast aluminum with corrosion-resistant internal components, this 1-inch NPT gas regulator provides exceptional flow capacity in a compact footprint. It is compatible with natural gas, LP gas, and mixed gas systems, performing reliably across ambient temperatures from -40° to 205°F. Note that this model is not intended for dead-end lockup service and is best suited for continuous flow requirements.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- Precise Regulation: The balanced valve design eliminates inlet pressure effects, ensuring the downstream equipment receives stable fuel flow.
- Multi-Positional Mounting: Fits into tight mechanical spaces with flexible mounting orientations (upright mounting required if a vent limiter is used).
- Extreme Temperature Durability: Equipped with high-quality synthetic rubber diaphragms that remain flexible in low-temperature gas service.
- High Flow Capacity: Delivers up to 1,400,000 BTU/hr, making it suitable for large-scale commercial HVACR installations.
- Versatile Fuel Compatibility: Fully rated for use with liquefied petroleum (propane) and natural gas mixtures.
Can the Maxitrol R600-1 be used for zero governor applications?
While the standard R600 is an appliance regulator, the R600Z variant is specifically designed for zero governor or atmospheric control. The R600-1 is calibrated for positive pressure outlet control.
Does this regulator include a vent limiter?
No, the 13A15 vent protector is sold separately. If installing indoors without a vent line to the atmosphere, a certified vent limiting device must be installed per local mechanical codes.
Is the R600-1 suitable for systems with electronic ignition?
It can be used, but since the R series is not a lockup-type regulator, the automatic control valve on the appliance must be able to open against the potential standing line pressure.
