Itron-Actaris B42R-1/2 Regulator
The Itron-Actaris B42R-1/2 Regulator is a high-performance gas pressure regulator designed for residential and light commercial services where precise control and internal relief are required. Engineered with a 1/2" NPT inlet and a 1/2" x 9/16" orifice, this self-operated, spring-loaded unit handles consistent pressure reduction for natural gas and propane systems. The 6-16" WC spring range (dark green spring) provides the flexibility needed for standard low-pressure requirements, while the 12.6 sq. in. molded diaphragm and 6:1 lever ratio ensure stable outlet pressure even under fluctuating inlet conditions.
This B42 Series regulator features a compact, durable construction with a high-tensile cast iron valve body and a 1" threaded vent with a stainless steel screen. The internal relief valve (IRV) offers critical overpressure protection, venting excess gas to prevent downstream equipment damage. For technicians, the field-interchangeable adjustment spring and aluminum orifice simplify maintenance and onsite tuning, making it a reliable choice for HVAC gas control and industrial furnace applications.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Relief Capacity: Features a large 1" internal relief valve for superior safety and overpressure protection.
- Superior Precision: Molded deep-convolution diaphragm and 6:1 lever ratio provide the sensitivity of larger regulators in a smaller footprint.
- Rugged Construction: Built with a cast iron body and Buna-N valve seats for bubble-tight lock-up and long-term durability.
- Application Versatility: Ideal for natural gas service, light commercial boilers, and 2 PSI systems requiring a 6-16 inch water column range.
Common Questions
Can the orifice be swapped in the field?
Yes, the Itron B42R utilizes interchangeable aluminum orifices, allowing contractors to adjust capacity and performance based on specific inlet pressure requirements.
Is this regulator suitable for outdoor installation?
This unit is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. When installed outdoors, the vent should be positioned to prevent water or debris from entering the diaphragm case.
What is the purpose of the dark green spring?
The dark green spring defines the specific outlet pressure range of 6-16" WC, which is standard for most residential and light commercial gas appliances.
