Sensus 143-62-023-45 Orifice

The Sensus 143-62-023-45 Orifice is an essential component for technicians maintaining or configuring the Model 143-80 service regulator. Engineered from high-grade aluminum, this 1/2-inch replacement orifice is designed for low-pressure applications, typically supporting maximum inlet pressures up to 20 psig. It plays a critical role in managing flow capacity and ensuring stable downstream pressure for residential and small commercial gas systems. When installing this OEM Sensus gas regulator part, ensure the threads are clear of debris and apply an appropriate pipe sealant to prevent leaks. The orifice requires a 1-inch thin-wall hex socket wrench for removal and should be torqued to 50-60 ft-lbs upon re-installation to achieve a secure seal within the cast iron body. This individual orifice is compatible with various spring ranges, including the cadmium-colored spring for specific psi settings, making it a versatile choice for optimizing HVAC gas pressure regulation during field service or system overhauls.

• Precision Flow Control: Specifically machined for the Sensus 143-80 series to provide accurate regulation of natural gas, propane, and air.
• Rugged Construction: Durable aluminum build resists corrosion and withstands demanding operational temperatures from -20°F to 150°F.
• Seamless Compatibility: Direct Sensus 143-62-023-45 substitute that maintains the integrity of the original equipment's performance specifications.
• Straightforward Installation: Standard 1/2-inch sizing allows for quick field replacement using standard technician tools.
