Maxitrol RV48-3/4-48 Regulator

The Maxitrol RV48-3/4-48 is a professional-grade appliance gas regulator engineered for precision control in main burner and pilot load applications. Featuring a rubber seat poppet design, this 3/4" NPT model excels in managing tiny gas flows where maintaining stable outlet pressure is critical for equipment performance. Built with a high-strength aluminum die-cast housing, the RV48 series is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI and is specifically calibrated for an outlet pressure range of 4-8" w.c.

Field-proven for versatility, this straight-thru flow design supports multiple fuel types including natural gas, LP, and air mixtures. Its multi-poise mounting capability allows for installation at any angle, though horizontal mounting is recommended to ensure the highest degree of accuracy in downstream pressure. For contractors managing tight tolerances in commercial cooking or hearth products, the Maxitrol RV48 delivers a 250,000 BTU capacity, making it a reliable standard for mid-range appliance regulation.

• Precise Flow Control: The rubber seat poppet ensures superior sealing and steady regulation for pilot lines and main burners.
• Multi-Poise Installation: Durable aluminum housing allows for mounting flexibility in restricted mechanical spaces.
• Fuel Versatility: Fully compatible with natural gas (NG), manufactured, mixed, and liquefied petroleum (LP) gas-air mixtures.
• High BTU Capacity: Supports demands up to 250,000 BTU/hr, ideal for commercial-grade appliances.

What is the maximum inlet pressure for this regulator?
The unit is rated for a maximum of 1/2 PSI (3.4 kPa). Exceeding this limit can damage the internal diaphragm and affect regulation accuracy.

Can this be used for propane (LP) applications?
Yes, the RV48-3/4-48 is suitable for LP gas-air mixtures. Ensure the 4-8" w.c. outlet pressure matches your appliance's manifold requirements.

Does it require a vent limiter?
While the RV48 features a standard breather hole, local codes may require a 12A04 ball check device or 12A06 fixed orifice vent limiter for indoor installations.
