Maxitrol RV48CL-1/2 Regulator
The Maxitrol RV48CL-1/2 is a professional-grade appliance gas regulator designed for reliable pressure control in residential and light commercial HVACR applications. Built with a 1/2" NPT pipe size, this model features a rubber seat poppet design, ensuring a high degree of sensitivity and precise regulation even at low flow rates. This regulator is engineered to handle a 1/2 PSI maximum inlet pressure, making it the standard choice for manifold pressure regulation in furnaces, boilers, and commercial cooking equipment.
One of the primary advantages for field technicians is its field convertible capability; the unit is factory-set for 5" w.c. Natural Gas but can be easily toggled to 10" w.c. for LP Gas (Propane) systems. The integral vent limiting orifice is a critical safety and labor-saving feature, as it eliminates the need for external vent piping to the outdoors in most jurisdictions, provided the regulator is mounted in an upright, horizontal position. For contractors performing gas manifold pressure adjustment, the RV48CL provides stable outlet pressure to ensure optimal combustion efficiency across various BTU load requirements.
- Universal Compatibility: Standard 1/2" NPT threads and field convertible spring allow for seamless integration into both Natural Gas and Propane appliances.
- Integrated Safety: The vent limiting device prevents excessive gas escapement in the event of diaphragm failure, simplifying installation in tight mechanical spaces.
- High Sensitivity: The rubber seat poppet ensures a tight shut-off and consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range of 32°F to 225°F.
- Durable Construction: Heavy-duty housing designed to meet stringent industry standards for gas pressure regulation and long-term reliability.
Common Questions
How do I convert the RV48CL from Natural Gas to LP?
To perform a Maxitrol LP conversion, remove the cap, flip the internal pin/stem so the LP side is visible, and securely re-seat the cap. Always verify manifold pressure with a manometer after conversion.
Does this regulator require an external vent line?
Thanks to the integral vent limiting orifice, this regulator typically does not require a vent line to the atmosphere, provided it is installed in accordance with local codes and mounted in the upright position.
What is the maximum inlet pressure for this unit?
The Maxitrol RV48CL-1/2 is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 PSI (approximately 14 inches water column). Do not exceed this rating, as it may damage the internal diaphragm.
