The Sensus 143-1 1/4 Regulator is a job-ready domestic service gas pressure regulator engineered for residential and light commercial loads. This specific configuration features a 1.25-inch NPT straight body and a 3/8-inch orifice, optimized for precise flow control. Equipped with a green spring, it delivers a stable 6-14 inch w.c. outlet pressure range, essential for high-efficiency burners and unit heaters. The rugged cast iron body and die-cast aluminum spring case provide the durability required for outdoor installations, while the union nut connection allows for 360-degree orientation and simplifies field maintenance by allowing orifice changes without breaking the pipe schedule. With a 40 PSIG maximum inlet pressure rating and integrated internal relief valve (IRV), this unit ensures reliable overpressure protection across varied natural gas and LP applications.

Key Benefits
  • Enhanced Versatility: The union nut connection enables multi-position mounting and easy access to the 3/8-inch orifice for maintenance.
  • Precision Control: The green loading spring provides a specific 6-14" w.c. range, minimizing pressure droop during peak demand.
  • Robust Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant chromate conversion coating and Buna-N diaphragm for long-term reliability in harsh environments.
  • Safety Integrated: Mechanical internal relief valve is set to trigger approximately 7-10" w.c. above the nominal set point for system protection.
