Sensus 071-03406-002 Black Spring

The Sensus 071-03406-002 Black Spring is a high-precision component designed for the Sensus 496 gas regulator, specifically engineered to achieve an outlet pressure range of 1-2 PSI. As a critical part of Sensus (formerly Rockwell/Equimeter) domestic and light commercial service regulators, this replacement regulator spring allows technicians to convert or maintain 496 series units for higher pressure applications beyond standard inches of water column settings. The black color-coding ensures immediate identification for field maintenance, maintaining the mechanical integrity and calibration of the Sensus 496 service regulator. Constructed from durable materials to resist fatigue, the 071-03406-002 spring provides the necessary force for the internal diaphragm to regulate natural gas, air, propane, or other non-corrosive gases effectively. For optimal performance, ensure the regulator vent is positioned vertically downward to prevent debris ingress while utilizing this 1-2# pressure spring. This part is a direct OEM replacement for Sensus 496 and 043B series regulators.

• Precise Pressure Control: Specifically calibrated to maintain a steady 1-2 PSI outlet pressure for downstream equipment requirements.
• Standardized Identification: Color-coded black to simplify inventory management and ensure correct field installation for Sensus 496 regulator springs.
• Versatile Application: Compatible with various Sensus 496 orifice sizes to handle different inlet pressures and flow capacities.
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand the mechanical stress of continuous gas regulation without losing tension over time.

What is the pressure range for the Sensus black spring 071-03406-002?
This specific spring is designed for an outlet pressure range of 1 to 2 PSI (pounds per square inch).

Which regulator models are compatible with this spring?
The 071-03406-002 is primarily used in the Sensus Model 496 domestic service regulator and is also compatible with the Sensus 043B series.

How do I install the 071-03406-002 black spring?
Technicians should remove the closing cap and adjustment screw of the 496 regulator, swap the existing spring with the black 1-2# spring, and then re-calibrate the outlet pressure using a calibrated gauge to reach the required set point.
