RV SERIES
Straight-Thru-Flow Design
Maxitrol’s original straight-thru-ow (STF) design regulators
are non-lockup type regulators for high capacities at low inlet
pressures. The difference between STF design and other type
regulators is the conical valve. The cone principal permits gas to
ow straight through the regulator without changing directions.
Frictional ow resistance is reduced, resulting in greater
capacity. An improved ow pattern provides accurate, sensitive
regulation at extremely low pressure differentials. Typical
applications include residential, commercial, and industrial
gas-red appliances and equipment used on low or medium
pressure gas supplies.
Specications
Pipe Sizes ................................. 1/2” to 3” threaded connections with NPT or ISO7-1 threads. 4” 150lb. ange (RV131 only).
Mounting .................................RV52, RV53, RV61 are suitable for multi-positional mounting. If ball check vent limiting
device is installed, mount in an upright position only. RV81, RV91, RV111, RV131, upright
position only.
NOTE: All Maxitrol gas pressure regulators should be installed and operated in accordance
with Maxitrol Safety Warning Instructions (see GPR_MI_EN.ES or GPR_CSA_MI_EN.FR).

Both the RZ and 210Z series are adaptable for air-gas mixing
applications. Because of the balanced valve construction,
Z-models offer superior performance at an economical price
compared with other types of atmospheric regulators.
Maxitrol’s RZ and 210Z Zero Governor model regulators are
used for ow control of burners, nozzel mixers, mixing tees and
proportional premixers.

SIZING A REGULATOR
See www.maxitrol.com for our Regulator Sizing Program. Please contact Maxitrol directly for more information on sizing a regulator.
System Requirements
When sizing a regulator the following must be known:
• Gas Type
• Available Inlet Pressure
• Desired Outlet Pressure
• Zero Governor Application (indicated by model number ending in “Z”)
• Will the regulator control main burner and pilot load OR main burner only?
• Required minimum and maximum ow rate in cfh or m3/h or Btu/h
• Pipe Size
In most cases, the manifold pipe size has already been selected on the basis of good engineering practice, and the regulator
pipe size should conform to this size.
The capacity of any regulator is not an absolute value but will vary with the application depending on the prevailing differential
pressure.
Service and installation must be performed by a trained/experienced service technician.
All products used with combustible gas must be installed and used strictly in accordance with the instructions of the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and with all applicable government codes and regulations, e.g. plumbing, mechanical, and
electrical codes and practices. These instructions do NOT supersede OEM’s installation or operating instructions.
All Maxitrol products should be installed and operated in accordance with Maxitrol Safety Warning Instructions.
HOW TO CALCULATE PRESSURE DROP AT VARIOUS FLOW RATES FROM CAPACITY CHART
LP Applications - When using natural gas pressure drop chart to determine LP pressure drop in terms of Btu/h, multiply NAT
Btu/h by 1.61; in terms of CFH multiply NAT CFH by 0.645.
Formula: P2 = P1 x (Q2/Q1)
P2 = Pressure drop at desired ow rate Q2 = Desired ow rate
P1 = Known pressure drop Q1 = Known ow rate
A. Check Capacity Chart, insuring regulator has ample range B. Know the minimum encountered inlet pressure.
of regulation and individual load capacities (for use with pilot) MINIMUM INLET PRESSURE MINUS “P2” MUST
for the application. BE GREATER THAN DESIRED OUTLET PRESSURE.
Solve for “P2” using the formula above.
(See examples on page 59.)
• Known: Single 150,000 Btu/h main burner; pipe size 1/2”; inlet pressure 7” w.c.; outlet pressure 4” w.c.
• Solution: The RV48 (1/2”) has a maximum capacity of 230,000 Bth/h and a maximum individual load of
160,000 Btu/h. The pressure drop at a ow rate of 150,000 Btu/h is 0.4” w.c., well below the available differential
of 3” w.c. The RV48 (without “L” xed orice) is the correct regulator to use for the application.
STRAIGHT-THRU-FLOW (S-T-F)
For main burner only applications not requiring a lockup type regulator. When sizing the S-T-F Series, it is recommended
that pressure drop not exceed 1/2 of available differential pressure.
• Solution: The RV81(1 1/4”) has a maximum capacity of 2,500,000 Btu/h. The pressure drop at a ow of
2,000,000 Btu/h is 0.66” w.c. The RV81 (1 1/4”) is the correct regulator to use with this application. The pressure
drop of the RV61 (1 1/4”) at a ow rate of 2,000,000 Btu/h is 2.64” w.c. This is within the available differential
but exceeds the recommended 50% maximum.
LEVER ACTING
For main burner and pilot load application requiring positive dead-end lockup (see Denitions page 63).
• Solution: The 210E (1 1/2”) has a maximum capacity of 10,000,000 Btu/h. The 210D (1 1/2”) has a capacity of
6,000,000 Btu/h. Therefore, the 210E (1 1/2”) will give you the desired outlet pressure of 9” w.c. and is the
correct regulator to use for the application.

Maxitrol vent limiting devices eliminate the need to run vent piping to the outside. Vent limiting devices 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. Vent protectors are available for all outdoor
applications to ensure proper vent protection.
Pressure will be maintained within ANSI/CSA limits under
no ow conditions. The amount of climb above set point
is inuenced by inlet pressure, ow rate before no ow
condition and piping arrangement. Dead end lockup
pressure regulators must be properly sized for desired
performance.
Differential Pressure
The difference between inlet pressure to the pressure
regulator and outlet pressure from the pressure regulator.
To obtain differential pressure, subtract the desired outlet
pressure from available inlet pressure.
Line Pressure Regulator
A pressure regulator intended for installation in a building
gas distribution system between the building service
regulator or LP-gas 2 psi service regulator and gas utilization
equipment.
Lockup Type
Under no ow conditions, outlet pressure will rise above
adjusted pressure but will not rise to line pressure.
Minimum Capacity (Main Burner Only
Minimum capacity of a pressure regulator designed to
control the ow to the main burner only.
Maximum Capacity (Main Burner Only
Maximum capacity of a pressure regulator at which the
pressure regulator will control main burner pressure within
acceptable limits.
Maximum Capacity (Main Burner and Pilot
Maximum capacity of a pressure regulator at which the
pressure regulator will control main burner and pilot line
pressure within acceptable limits.
)
)
)
Non-Lockup Type
Under static conditions when no gas is owing, outlet
pressure will rise to line pressure.
Overpressure Protection Device (OPD
A device which under abnormal conditions will act to reduce,
restrict, or shut off the supply of gas owing into a system
to prevent pressure in that system from exceeding 2 psi.
• Monitoring Regulator: An overpressure protection device
which functions as a second pressure regulator in series
with the primary pressure regulator.
• Overpressure Relief Device: An overpressure protection
device which functions by discharging gas from the
downstream system to a safe location.
• Overpressure Shut-Off Device: An overpressure protection
device which functions by completely shutting off the
ow of gas into the downstream system.
)
Pressure Drop
The natural loss of pressure that occurs in the pressure
regulator (or in any valve or pipe) due to friction. This
friction impedes uid motion, without regard to articial
losses deliberately created by diaphragm action. The
equivalent ow rate for a loss in given pressure with the
pressure regulator valve in a normally wide open position.
Rated Inlet Pressure
The highest inlet pressure for which the control is intended
to be used.
Vent Limiter
A means that limits the ow of gas from the atmospheric
chamber to the atmosphere in the event of a diaphragm
rupture. This may be either a limiting orice or a ball check
vent limiting device.
• Limiting Orice Type: A vent limiter where the ow
through the limiter is the same in both directions
Capacity
Total load Btu/h of all appliances combined.
Maximum Individual Load
Largest single appliance or burner served by the pressure
regulator.
Maximum Individual Load Capacity
1. The maximum capacity or ow at which a line pressure
regulator will control lockup pressure within acceptable
limits.
2. The maximum capacity or ow at which a pressure
regulator will control pilot line pressure within
acceptable limits.
Zero Governors
They require an external impulse signal, such as top loading
with pressure or generating vacuum in the downstream
piping.
