Sensus 143-IRV-3/4 Regulator

  • $190.00


The Sensus 143-IRV-3/4 Regulator is a job-site standard for technicians requiring a mid-capacity gas pressure regulator with internal relief valve. Engineered for residential service and light commercial applications, this 143-80 series model features a 3/4" NPT connection and a 3/8" precision-machined orifice to provide stable delivery pressures. Configured with a green loading spring, it maintains a consistent outlet pressure range of 6 to 14 inches Water Column, making it a drop-in solution for natural gas and propane (LP) vapor systems. The cast iron body and aluminum diaphragm case include a chromate conversion coating and enamel topcoat to stand up to outdoor environmental stress. For overpressure protection, the internal relief valve (IRV) is factory-set to vent approximately 7" to 10" W.C. above the normal set point, ensuring downstream equipment remains within safe operating limits without requiring external relief piping in most standard configurations.

Key Benefits:
  • Internal Relief Valve (IRV): Provides integrated overpressure protection to prevent downstream damage during seat failure.
  • Precision Control: Utilizes a 3/8" orifice for accurate modulation in low-pressure distribution systems.
  • Versatile Media: Compatible with natural gas, propane vapor, air, nitrogen, and other non-corrosive technical gases.
  • Field-Serviceable Design: Features a union nut connection for rapid inspection of the valve seat and diaphragm without specialized tools.
  • Rugged Construction: Built with a cast iron valve body and die-cast aluminum spring case for industrial-grade durability.
Common Questions:
  • What is the maximum inlet pressure for this configuration? This unit is rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 40 PSIG when equipped with the 3/8" orifice and green spring.
  • Can this regulator be used for high-pressure propane piping? While compatible with propane vapor, it is designed for low-pressure 6-14" W.C. outlet requirements; always verify the downstream appliance requirements before installation.
  • Does this model require a specific mounting orientation? The Sensus 143 series supports multi-position mounting, though it is standard practice to orient the vent to prevent moisture or debris accumulation.
