Maxitrol 325-3-3/8 Regulator
The Maxitrol 325-3-3/8 Gas Regulator is a high-performance lever acting design solution for contractors managing residential and commercial gas piping systems. This 3/8" NPT gas regulator is engineered for pounds to inches reduction, handling a 10 PSI max inlet pressure with a stable 4-12" WC outlet pressure range. Designed for versatility, it supports natural gas, LP, and mixed gas applications, delivering positive dead-end lock-up to protect downstream equipment. With a 100,000 BTU/hr max individual load and up to 150,000 BTU/hr multiple load capacity, this 325 series model excels in precise pressure control from full flow down to pilot flow. The durable aluminum die-cast housing and corrosion-resistant internal components make this a reliable choice for line pressure regulator installations in boilers, water heaters, and industrial furnaces. Ensure proper multi-poise mounting or upright installation when utilizing vent limiting devices to meet specific site requirements.

Common Questions
What is the maximum inlet pressure for the Maxitrol 325-3?
This regulator is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 10 PSI, though it is often utilized in 2 PSI and 5 PSI piping systems for safe delivery to appliances.
Can this regulator be used for outdoor installations?
Yes, the 325 series can be used outdoors if protected from the elements. For enhanced protection, contractors often specify the Imblue Technology (B-suffix) version or install a vent protector.
Is a vent line required for this model?
A vent line is required unless a certified vent limiting device, such as the 12A09, is installed. When using a vent limiter, the regulator must be mounted in the upright horizontal position.
