Line gas regulators play a pivotal role in the efficient and safe delivery of gas, be it in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. At their core, line gas regulators act as guardians, ensuring that gas from the supply source is…
The Maxitrol RV Series offers a range of gas regulators designed primarily for main burner and pilot load applications where precise control of tiny flow is an essential operational requirement. In this article, we review the features, applications and options…
ROOTS gas regulators are popular because they are safe, accurate, and dependable. Even though they are lighter and more compact, these pressure-reducing natural gas regulators match their traditional, larger counterparts in performance, power, and capacity. They deliver precise gas measurements…
Overpressure in natural gas systems can happen if your regulator has a diaphragm or mechanical failure or when there is a foreign object between the seat and valve. It also follows using an undersized or blocked vent opening. In all…
A pressure-reducing valve, also called a pressure-reducing regulator, is typically used in the oil & gas, water, and steam industries to reduce the excess unregulated pressure in a system. There are several types of gas regulators that are classified into two…
Historically, people used appliance regulators for line pressure regulation. There is a new and revised standard that dictates that appliance regulators can no longer be used as line pressure regulators. The Maxitrol 325 Series regulators are ANSI-certified as line regulators…
There are many different types of equipment and appliances that require pressure regulators to keep pressure levels controlled at all times. Natural gas regulators are vital pieces of equipment that ensure proper gas flow and performance of the appliance or…
Operating a natural gas appliance requires carefully balanced gas pressure. If natural gas comes into the appliance too fast at too much pressure, the appliance might explode. If the pressure is too low, the appliance won’t work. Gas pressure-reducing regulator…
Relief valves and back pressure regulators are two types of pressure regulators used to control pressure levels in gas applications. However, although they do a similar job, back pressure regulators and relief valves are very different. In this article, we…
One common query that most people have about regulators is “Can a gas regulator be installed vertically?”. The answer to this is not a simple “yes” or “no”. The gas regulator and the shut-off valve are the most critical components…
