Attention: To comply with the ANSI Z21.80 Standard for Line
Pressure Regulators, installations exceeding 2-psi nominal require
a tested and approved over-pressure protection device (OPD) for
use with the regulator.
Gases:
Intended for application in natural gas piping systems up to 5 psi.
Ambient Temperature Limits:
-40° to 205°F (0° to 96°C)
Note: All Maxitrol gas appliance regulators must be installed and
operated in accordance with Maxitrol's 'Safety Warning' bulletin.

Line Regulators with OPDs
325 Series
The new line pressure regulator standard - ANSI Z21.80
FEATURES:
• CSA certified for up to 5-psi inlet pressure...
• Over-pressure protection device (OPD) to limit
downstream pressure in case of regulator failure...
• Maxitrol OPD approved and tested with the regulator...
• Self-aligning valve with lever action for dead end
regulator lockup...
BENEFITS:
• Meets new ANSI standard Z21.80 for line pressure
regulators for use on piping systems such as CSST or
semi-rigid copper tubing up to 5-psi...
• OPD provides required downstream over-pressure
protection for supply pressures in excess of 2-psi...
• Pounds to inches regulator provides precise control from
pilot flows to full regulator capacity...
• Meets many utility specifications...
Although Maxitrol's 325 Series are certified (ANSI Z21.18)
as appliance regulators (see bulletin 325LVR_MS_EN), in
the past they have often been used as line pressure
regulators. Until very recently, there was no standard for
line pressure regulators.
Z21.80 is the new ANSI standard for line pressure
regulators, intended for application in natural gas piping
systems. As of May 1, 2002, CSA requires that all line
pressure regulators above 2-psi must leave the factory preassembled and leak tested. At supply pressures in
excess of 2-psi, the new line regulator standard requires a
means (an over-pressure protection device / OPD) —
approved and tested with the regulator — to limit the
downstream pressure to 2-psi maximum, in the event of
regulator failure. In other words, to comply with the
standard, installations exceeding 2-psi nominal require
a tested and approved over-pressure protection device
for use with the regulator. Maxitrol-built OPDs provide
the required downstream over-pressure protection.
The 325 Series are suitable for limited horizontal mounting
(less than or equal to 90° from upright). Install the
regulator properly with gas flowing as indicated by the
arrow on the casting. The 210 OPD must be installed in a
horizontal position.
To deliver positive dead-end lock up, the 325 Series
feature a high leverage valve linkage assembly. Lockup
pressure can vary with the speed of the solenoid valve and
its location. The regulators are capable of precise
regulating control from full flow down to pilot flows.
The self-aligning valve is made of nitrile rubber. Housings
are durable aluminum die castings and all internal parts
are carefully selected and corrosion resistant. The
diaphragms are of high quality supported synthetic rubber
compounds.
The regulator with OPD is certified for inlet pressures up to
5-psi. The regulator alone provides no downstream overpressure protection in the event of failure.
Other 325 Series regulators will continue to be available as
CSA certified appliance regulators, as well as non-certified
models for up to 10-psi inlet pressure (see bulletin
325LVR_MS_EN).
