What is a Maxitrol regulator used for?

Maxitrol’s 325‑L Series line pressure regulators with OPDs are for 5 psi piping systems. 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.

How do you size a gas regulator?

Here are the seven things you need to know to size your natural gas regulator:

1. Gas type – What type of gas are you regulating?
2. Inlet and outlet pressure – What is the inlet and desired outlet pressure?
3. Gas flow – What is the gas flow range?
4. Pipe size – What is the pipe size?
5. Altitude – Altitude affects regulator sizing.

Can Maxitrol regulators be installed outdoors?

Maxitrol vent limiting devices eliminate the need to run vent piping to the outside. They are designed for use indoors and in spaces where limiting the amount of gas escapement due to diaphragm failure is critical. Vent limiting devices should not be used outdoors if they are exposed to the environment.

What is the maximum allowable pressure downstream of a pressure controlling device?

The gas engineer has determined that the relief valve should begin to open at 50 psig, and downstream pressure should not rise above 60 psig maximum allowable system pressure.

Do all gas regulators need to be vented?

All regulators have a vent which allows the device to breathe during normal operation; it also functions as a pressure relief opening in an over-pressure situation. For safety purposes, this vent should remain free of dirt, debris, insects, water, snow, and ice.

What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal propane regulator?

If the vent is perpendicular to the flow of the propane through the regulators then it’s a horizontal mount but if it’s parallel (like the one you mentioned), the orientation is considered vertical.
