B531 Commercial Regulator: Enhanced Flow Capacity with Parallel Design
The ROOTS B531 spring-loaded regulator employs an innovative parallel valve body configuration that essentially provides two regulators working in tandem. This sophisticated engineering approach nearly doubles the flow capacity compared to standard single 6″ diaphragm regulators, making it ideal for high-demand commercial applications.
What sets the B531 (previously Itron B531) apart is its symmetrical downstream piping architecture. This thoughtful design ensures component uniformity across both diaphragm cases, simplifying inventory management and streamlining maintenance procedures. Technicians benefit from working with identical parts throughout the regulator, reducing complexity and potential errors during service.
This combination of enhanced capacity and maintenance-friendly design makes the B531 an exceptional choice for commercial gas regulation where reliability and performance are paramount.
B531 Twin Parallel Commercial Regulator
Appropriate for Utility light to medium commercial service applications where a high degree of Safety or Overpressure Protection is required, such as schools, hospitals, etc. The B531 is an excellent replacement for parallel regulator piping. Some benefits include:
- A fast response protects equipment from shock damage
- Field inspection of the Internal Monitor (IM) and Internal Relief valves without customer shut-off or bypass
- Unmatched overpressure protection with Internal Monitor plus Internal Relief (IMR) option
- Six different assembly position options
