| Maxitrol 325-3 Regulator
Living in the country has advantages and disadvantages. Installers are free to do whatever they can get away with.
I have a 2psi NG system with Maxitrol regulators in three places. Two of these are in the basement. While reading, I discovered that the regulators should be vented outside the house. At the very least, Maxitrol sells an accessory that will reduce the venting to a safer level. These still have the drilled plug. The third regulator is in the attic. I haven't checked it and the attic is the least of my worries. I understand that diaphram rupture is somewhat rare but my luck is the worst.
If a copper vent line is run to the outside my house should be protected. Will this also protect the appliances? Can a venting regulator be heard? |
