The Maxitrol RV61-1 is a high-capacity 1" NPT gas appliance regulator specifically engineered for residential, commercial, and industrial equipment requiring steady pressure in low-inlet environments. Featuring Maxitrol’s signature Straight-Thru-Flow (STF) design, this regulator utilizes a unique conical valve that allows gas to pass through with minimal directional change. This reduces frictional resistance and maximizes flow capacity, making it a reliable choice for high-demand systems like gas-fired boilers, steam generators, and industrial furnaces. This aluminum-bodied, non-lockup regulator is designed for main burner applications where downstream controls can handle the line pressure during periods of no flow.

Built for precision, the RV61-1 supports a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI (CSA Certified) and up to 1 PSI (Maxitrol Tested). It facilitates an adjustable outlet pressure range between 3" and 6" w.c., ensuring compatible performance with varied gas types, including natural gas, LP, and mixed gas-air systems. The multi-poise mounting capability offers flexibility for tight manifold installations, while the Teflon-coated internal conical valve ensures smooth operation and a long service life in the field. This unit is ANSI Z21.18/CSA 6.3 certified, meeting strict safety and construction standards for 1" appliance regulators.

Key Benefits
  • Maximum Flow Efficiency: The Straight-Thru-Flow design significantly reduces pressure drop across the valve, allowing for reduced manifold sizing.
  • Versatile Mounting: Supports multi-positional mounting for easier integration into complex HVACR piping layouts.
  • Industrial Durability: Robust aluminum housing and Teflon-coated internals provide resistance to corrosion and wear.
  • Broad Compatibility: Fully suitable for liquefied petroleum (LP) and natural gas applications.
Common Questions
  • Is this suitable for a line pressure regulator? No, the RV61 series is a non-lockup appliance regulator. It should only be used as a main burner regulator where downstream components are rated for inlet pressure.
  • What is the BTU capacity of the 1" RV61-1? In standard configurations, it handles approximately 900,000 to 2,500,000 BTU depending on specific pressure drop allowances.
  • Can I use a vent limiter with this model? Yes, this regulator is tapped for NPT vent bosses and can be paired with an 12A06 vent limiting orifice or 12A04 device for upright installations.
