Maxitrol RV20VL-3/8-610 Regulator
The Maxitrol RV20VL-3/8-610 is a high-performance appliance gas regulator engineered for technicians requiring precise pressure control in sensitive pilot load applications. Featuring a robust rubber seat poppet design, this 3/8" NPT model excels at managing tiny flows where standard regulators might struggle. It is specifically calibrated for a 6-10" wc outlet pressure range with a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI, making it a reliable choice for commercial cooking equipment, hearth products, and high-end residential grills.
The Maxitrol RV20VL series utilizes an integral vent limiting orifice, which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate vent line to the outdoors for most indoor applications. Constructed from high-strength aluminum die castings, this straight-thru flow design maximizes capacity while maintaining a compact footprint. Whether you are servicing natural gas or LP gas systems, this multi-poise regulator provides the consistent gas pressure regulation and safety required for modern burner systems.

Can I use this regulator for outdoor LPG applications?
Yes, the Maxitrol RV20VL-3/8-610 is rated for LP gas-air mixtures and is frequently used in commercial outdoor cooking equipment.
Does this model require a separate vent line?
Because this model includes an integral vent limiting orifice, it typically does not require a vent line to the atmosphere, provided local codes allow for vent limiters in the specific application.
What is the maximum emergency exposure pressure?
While the operating max inlet is 1/2 PSI, the RV20 series housings are generally rated for emergency exposure limits up to 2.5 PSI.
