Sensus 143-62-023-40 Orifice
The Sensus 143-62-023-40 Orifice is a precision-engineered 3/16" aluminum orifice designed for the Sensus 143-80 series domestic service regulators. Built to maintain a consistent pressure differential, this 3/16 inch gas orifice is essential for managing flow capacity in residential and light commercial meter sets. With a maximum inlet pressure rating of 125 psi when paired with the appropriate 143-80 model, it ensures stable delivery even during significant inlet pressure fluctuations. This OEM Sensus regulator part features a precision-machined bore to prevent drifting and maintain a K-Factor of 74, ensuring the regulator hits its rated SCFH downstream. When performing field maintenance, ensure you use a 1-inch thin-wall hex socket for removal and apply a moderate amount of pipe dope to the threads to prevent galling. Proper torqueing to 50-60 ft-lbs is recommended to achieve a gas-tight seal without damaging the cast iron regulator body. This component is compatible with the 143-80-1 standard, 143-80-2 IRV, and 143-80-6 LPCO models.
Key Benefits:- OEM Precision: Genuine Sensus 143 series orifice ensures exact fitment and keeps the regulator within original performance curves.
- Optimized Flow: Features a 3/16 inch diameter bore designed to deliver a specific SCFH natural gas capacity of 74 (K-Factor).
- Industrial Durability: Machined from high-grade aluminum to resist corrosion and wear from high-velocity gas particulate.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for natural gas, propane, air, and other non-corrosive gas metering systems.
What tool is required to replace the Sensus 143-62-023-40?
Technicians should use a 1-inch "thin-wall" hex socket wrench to avoid contact with the internal regulator housing during removal or installation.
Can this orifice be used in the 143-80-2 Internal Relief Valve (IRV) model?
Yes, it is fully compatible with the 143-80-1, 143-80-2, and 143-80-6 models, provided the system capacity requirements match the 3/16" sizing.
Does this part require a specific torque setting?
For a secure and leak-free installation, the orifice should be tightened to 50-60 ft-lbs with appropriate thread sealant applied to the male threads.
