The Maxitrol 325 Series is the most widely specified gas pressure regulator in commercial and industrial HVAC. Lever acting design, aluminum housing, available in 3/8" through 2" NPT. Reduces supply gas pressure (typically 2 PSI line) to inches water column (W.C.) for appliance operation. Certified ANSI Z21.18/CSA 6.3 as appliance regulators. The suffix number after 325- indicates the body size and capacity (3 = smallest, up to 11 = largest). Without "L" in the model name = appliance regulator only -- cannot be used as a line pressure regulator. The 325-L series (with "L") carries the additional ANSI Z21.80/CSA 6.22 line pressure certification required for 2 PSI and 5 PSI gas distribution systems.

The Maxitrol Selectra modulating system (developed 1959, continuously refined since) modulates gas flow to commercial gas-fired heating equipment to hold a constant discharge air temperature -- eliminating on/off cycling, reducing energy consumption, and improving comfort. The system uses a discharge air temperature sensor (TS114) in the unit's air stream to signal the amplifier (A1014R), which in turn positions the modulating valve (M411) to deliver exactly the amount of gas needed for the required heat output. As the space warms and approaches setpoint, the modulating valve throttles back the gas -- holding a constant outlet air temperature rather than the extreme swing of on/off cycling. Used on unit heaters, rooftop heating units, and infrared radiant heaters in warehouses, manufacturing plants, aircraft hangars, and commercial spaces. The TD114 remote selector lets building operators adjust the discharge air temperature setpoint from a remote location.

Common questions from gas technicians, mechanical engineers, HVAC contractors, and facility managers about Maxitrol gas pressure regulators and Selectra modulating systems. Contact us or call (901) 458-2000 with your pipe size, inlet pressure, outlet pressure, and BTU load.
What is the difference between the Maxitrol 325 and 325-L series?
The critical difference is line pressure certification. The 325 without "L" (325-3, 325-5, 325-7A, 325-9) is an appliance-only regulator certified to ANSI Z21.18/CSA 6.3 -- it reduces gas pressure at the appliance connection and cannot legally be used as a line pressure regulator in 2-PSI or 5-PSI systems. The 325-L series (325-3L, 325-5L, 325-7AL, 325-9L) carries the additional ANSI Z21.80/CSA 6.22 line pressure certification -- required for commercial buildings with 2-PSI or 5-PSI gas distribution. Maxitrol marks line pressure certified regulators with a yellow sticker on the valve body. Using an appliance-only 325 as a line regulator is a code violation. Call (901) 458-2000 if unsure which type you need. Source: lincenergysystems.com; Maxitrol 325 Series catalog.
What is the Maxitrol Selectra modulating system and how does it work?
The Maxitrol Selectra system (developed 1959 by Maxitrol) modulates gas flow to hold a constant discharge air temperature on gas-fired unit heaters, rooftop units, and infrared heaters -- eliminating energy waste and comfort swings from on/off cycling. The TS114 discharge air sensor (55-90°F) mounts in the heated air stream and sends a signal to the A1014R amplifier, which positions the M411 modulating valve to deliver exactly the gas flow needed. As discharge air temperature approaches setpoint, the modulating valve throttles back gas flow rather than switching off. The TD114 remote selector allows setpoint adjustment from a remote location. Used in warehouses, factories, aircraft hangars, and commercial buildings. Source: Maxitrol Selectra Series 14 and 44 catalog; maxitrol.com/75-anniversary/.
What does the "L" in the Maxitrol RV47L or RV48L mean?
In the Maxitrol RV poppet series, "L" means an integral vent limiting orifice (a calibrated breather hole) is built into the valve cap -- this is different from the "L" in the 325-L series (which means line pressure certified). The RV47L and RV48L include the vent limiting orifice as the regulator breather, making them suitable for indoor installations without an external vent pipe. Without the "L", the regulator vent port must be piped outdoors or a separate field-installed vent limiter must be added. Source: SupplyHouse RV47L product description; Carremm Controls RV series specs.
How do I select the right Maxitrol 325 regulator?
You need four parameters: (1) Pipe size (NPT connection size), (2) Inlet pressure (2 PSI for commercial line pressure; 7-14" W.C. for low-pressure residential), (3) Required outlet pressure in inches W.C. (3.5-7" W.C. for most appliances, or per equipment nameplate), (4) Total BTU load (sum of all appliances served). The body suffix (3, 5, 7A, 9, 11) determines capacity. For 2-PSI or 5-PSI gas systems, use a 325-L series regulator. For low-pressure residential systems, the standard 325 appliance regulator serves the appliance connection. Call (901) 458-2000 with these four parameters and we will confirm the correct Maxitrol model.
When are vent limiters (12A09, 12A39, 12A49) required on a Maxitrol regulator?
Maxitrol regulators have a vent port that allows small amounts of gas to escape during operation -- normal by design. In outdoor installations, the vent is left open or protected with a vent protector. In indoor installations, the vent must either be piped outdoors or an approved vent limiting device must be installed on the vent port. Vent limiters 12A09, 12A39, 12A49 screw onto the vent port and limit any release to a very small calibrated orifice -- small enough to prevent dangerous indoor gas accumulation while allowing the regulator to breathe. Required by the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and NFPA 54 for indoor gas regulators that are not vented to the exterior. Maxitrol marks certified vent limiters with a yellow tag.

Who is Maxitrol and where are they based?
Maxitrol Company is a privately held manufacturer of gas pressure regulators, electronic gas modulation systems, combination gas control valves, and gas safety devices. In 1946, Frank Kern Jr. purchased Detroit Regulator Company in Detroit, Michigan. In 1948 the company patented the Straight-Thru-Flow (STF) regulator design and named it Maxitrol (Maximum Control). In 1953 the company was renamed Maxitrol Company and expanded throughout Michigan. Maxitrol's worldwide headquarters is in Southfield, Michigan, with European headquarters in Thale, Germany and manufacturing in both locations. More than 60 patents in 25 countries filed in the past decade. Source: maxitrol.com/75-anniversary/; LinkedIn.
