Maxitrol RV47AL-3/8 Regulator
The Maxitrol RV47AL-3/8 is a professional-grade gas appliance pressure regulator engineered for main burner and pilot load applications. Featuring a 3/8" NPT connection and a rubber seat poppet design, this unit provides precise pressure control for residential and commercial cooking equipment, including hearth products and barbecues. With a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI and a factory-calibrated outlet range of 3.8-4.3" w.c., it ensures consistent delivery for optimal combustion efficiency. This straight-thru-flow model includes an integral vent limiting orifice, eliminating the need for external vent piping in most jurisdictions. The RV47AL-3/8 serves as the recommended direct replacement for the legacy RV47L-3/8 and RV35A models. Its rugged aluminum housing and limited spring adjustment make it a reliable choice for field technicians requiring a "short stack" regulator in tight installation envelopes.
Key Benefits- Direct Replacement: Seamlessly replaces discontinued RV47L-3/8 and RV35A units to maintain equipment uptime.
- Integrated Safety: The integral vent limiter prevents gas discharge in the event of a diaphragm rupture, meeting standard safety codes without extra plumbing.
- Precision Regulation: Specialized rubber seat poppet ensures accurate outlet pressure even at low flow rates or pilot conditions.
- Multi-Positional Mounting: Designed for versatile field installation in various orientations without compromising performance.
- High Temperature Rating: Capable of operating in ambient temperatures up to 225°F, ideal for high-heat commercial kitchen environments.
