Products that perform their job so well that you just do not have to think about them are products that on today’s market seem few and far in between. Maxitrol gas regulators are among this line of products that we as suppliers and contractors have come to depend on.
Founded in 1946 Maxitrol’s headquarters are located in Southfield, Michigan.
The Maxitrol 325 series gas regulators are world renown for their use in the domestic natural gas market. The 325 series allows for inlet pressures up to 10 psig with certified 325 series for 2 and 5 psi systems and vent limiters to reduce the costs of installation by removing the need for a separate gas vent line to be installed by the contractor. New 325-7AL series regulator announced in July of 2010 takes the 325 series to new limits of capacities of over 1,000,000 BTUs. The larger RV series and 210 series are used by OEM boiler and burner manufactures worldwide. Read More

I was talking to a client today on the phone and he said “My PF (Pietro Fioentini) gas regulator is CREEPING!”. No this has nothing to do with the Halloween concept of CREEPY.
In this instance creep is when the boiler shut down, the gas pressure from the inlet side of the regulator continued to bleed (creep) past to the outlet side of the regulator and the lock up feature of the gas regulator was being bypassed increasing the down stream pressure in the gas line.
The lockup feature of this regulator when working correctly will close off the regulator if the set outlet pressure (as determined by the outlet spring) is surpassed.
To keep this from happening and to avoid product returns first try these two in the field fixes.
#1. When installing a new regulator especially new piped installations the use of an inlet strainer or a gas filter will trap any GARBAGE in the line that may cause the seat of the regulator to get hung up not allowing the regulator to close off correctly. Look through the inlet side of the regulator for any trash in the regulator and clean it out.
#2. Open the cap to the outlet adjusting spring and re-seat the spring. If the spring is not seated properly the regulator lock up feature will not work properly.
Easy fixes to a REAL problem. Call your Stromquist Representative for ALL your gas regulator needs.
