What is a Maxitrol regulator used for?

Maxitrol’s 325‑L Series line pressure regulators with OPDs are for use on piping systems up to 5 psi. The regulator reduces pounds pressure to a level within the appliance or equipment’s operating supply range. The line regulator is located upstream of equipment already fitted with an appliance regulator.

What type of regulator is used for natural gas?

How do you adjust the pressure on a gas regulator?

With a small amount of gas flowing through the regulator: Rotate the gas pressure regulator adjustment screw clockwise to raise the outlet pressure. Rotate the adjustment screw counter-clockwise to lower the outlet pressure.

What is WC gas pressure?

This refers to the amount of pressure it takes to raise a column of water 1 inch. There are 27.7 inches of water column (wc) pressure in 1 PSI of pressure. So 7″wc is about 1/4 PSI. This is the normal pressure that household natural gas is delivered.

How is WC pressure measured?

How Do you Measure Water Column Gas Pressure?

1. Turn the gas off.
2. Locate the pressure tap on the gas valve and unscrew the plug.
3. Turn the gas back on.
4. Turn on the furnace and start it.
5. The manometer will give the reading in Water Column in inches.
6. Turn gas off.

Can a Maxitrol gas regulator be installed vertically?

Only devices that are certified can be installed in regulators. The devices need to be installed directly into the vent connection of the regulator. The vent limiting device requires the regulator to be mounted in a horizontal upright position.

What is the psi of natural gas in a home?

The natural gas pressure of the gas line leading to the home ranges from approximately 1/4 psi to 60 psi, depending on the number of homes or businesses served by the line. This compares to pressures of up to 1,500 psi for large-volume pipelines used to move the gas from the well fields to the local utilities.

What is the pressure on an rv48l water heater?

MARKING – Model: RV48L, Marking: 1/2 PSIG, Po 5″ – 12″. Inlet pressure 1/2 PSI. Adjustable outlet pressure 5″-12″ Water Column. OPERATE TEMPERATURE – 32°F – 225°F (0°C – 107°C). Do not install the regulator too close to the heating equipment or use in very cold environment.

What is the operating temperature of a Maxitrol gas regulator?

Inlet pressure (CSA rated and Maximum operating): 1/2 PSI (34 mbar). Ambient operating temperature range: 32°F – 225°F (0°C – 107°C). NOTE: GAS PRESSURE REGULATORS WILL NOT TURN OFF THE FLOW OF GAS. CAUTION: Never connect regulator directly to the propane supply source. Maxitrol regulators require an external regulator (NOT supplied).

How do you install a Maxitrol propane regulator?

Maxitrol regulators require an external regulator (NOT supplied). Install the external regulator between the propane supply source and Maxitrol regulator. Install the regulator properly with gas flowing as indicated by the arrow on the casting. *NOTE – Do not install the regulator too close to the heating equipment or use in very cold environment.
