Maxitrol RV47L-1/2-812 Regulator
The Maxitrol RV47L-1/2-812 is a professional-grade appliance gas pressure regulator designed for precise delivery in light commercial and residential gas piping systems. Featuring a 1/2" NPT connection and a rubber seat poppet design, this unit provides reliable lock-up and high sensitivity for both natural gas and propane applications. With a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI and a specific outlet pressure range of 8-12" w.c., it is engineered to maintain stable manifold pressure for main burners and pilot loads. The aluminum die-cast housing ensures structural integrity, while the integral vent limiting orifice allows for multi-poise mounting without the need for external vent lines in most indoor installations, provided it meets local mechanical codes. This regulator is a standard service component for technicians requiring pinpoint gas pressure regulation for equipment boasting up to 125,000 BTU/hr capacity.
Field Benefits for Contractors:
- Flexible Installation: The multi-poise design enables mounting in any orientation, making it ideal for tight furnace or boiler cabinets.
- Reduced Piping Costs: Integrated vent limiter eliminates the requirement for running vent piping to the outdoors for most indoor applications.
- Superior Seal: The rubber seat poppet ensures positive shut-off and prevents creeping pressure during off-cycles.
- Broad Compatibility: Rated for use with natural gas, LP gas-air mixtures, and manufactured gases, providing versatility for various fuel conversions.
- Rugged Construction: Built with high-strength aluminum for long-term field reliability in demanding boiler room environments.
Common Technical Questions:
What is the maximum BTU capacity for this model?
The Maxitrol RV47L-1/2-812 supports a total load of 125,000 BTU/hr for main burner applications and 90,000 BTU/hr when used for combined burner and pilot loads.
Does this regulator require an external vent protector?
Because this model features an integral vent limiting orifice, external venting is typically not required; however, technicians should always verify local code compliance regarding gas regulator venting.
Can I use the RV47L for high-pressure 2 PSI systems?
No, this specific regulator is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI. For 2 PSI piping systems, a line pressure regulator is required upstream of this appliance regulator.
