Maxitrol RV48-1/2 Regulator

The Maxitrol RV48-1/2 Regulator is a professional-grade appliance gas regulator engineered for precision in residential and commercial gas-fired equipment. This rubber seat poppet model is specifically designed for main burner and pilot load applications where maintaining accurate control of low flow rates is critical for stable combustion. Constructed with a high-strength aluminum die-cast housing, it supports 1/2" NPT connections and is compatible with natural, manufactured, mixed, LP, and LP gas-air mixtures. With a 1/2 PSI max inlet pressure and a factory-set 3-6" wc outlet pressure, this 1/2 inch gas regulator provides a reliable pressure drop profile, supporting capacities up to 230,000 BTU/h. Its multi-poise mounting capability allows for installation at any angle, though horizontal mounting is standard for ensuring precise outlet setpoints. This Maxitrol RV48 series component is a staple for technicians servicing cooking appliances, hearth products, and pilot lines requiring ANSI Z21.18/CSA 6.3 certified performance.

• Precise Low-Flow Control: The poppet design ensures steady pressure for both tiny pilot flames and main burner loads.
• Multi-Poise Installation: Durable aluminum housing allows for versatile mounting in any plane without sacrificing performance.
• Wide Fuel Compatibility: Suitable for multi-gas environments, including Natural Gas and Propane (LP) systems.
• Compact Straight-Thru Design: Space-saving footprint Ideal for tight manifold configurations in commercial galleys or residential furnaces.

What is the maximum BTU capacity for the RV48-1/2?
This regulator features a burner and pilot capacity of approximately 230,000 BTU/h, making it suitable for a wide range of mid-sized appliances.

Can this regulator be used with a vent limiter?
