Sensus 243-12-1 1/2 Regulator
The Sensus 243-12-1 1/2 gas regulator is a heavy-duty commercial gas pressure regulator engineered for precision control in large residential, commercial, and small industrial applications. This model features a 1-1/2 inch NPT connection and is equipped with a 3/4 inch orifice, designed to handle significant flow rates while maintaining stable downstream pressure. The internal 6/14 inch green spring allows for accurate pressure settings, making it a reliable choice for meter set assemblies and fixed factor billing applications. This unit is technically identical to the Sensus 243-12-1-1 1/2, ensuring drop-in compatibility for existing piping configurations. Built with a rugged cast iron diaphragm case, this large capacity gas regulator provides exceptional response times to load changes, preventing pilot outages and equipment malfunctions. Contractors value the 243-12 series for its high-pressure gas regulation capabilities and the ability to service the internal components without removing the body from the line.
Key Benefits:- Interchangeable Orifices: The 3/4" orifice can be swapped to match specific flow requirements and inlet pressures.
- Versatile Mounting: The 360-degree union nut allows the diaphragm case to be rotated to any position for easier installation in tight mechanical rooms.
- Fast-Acting Response: Internal design minimizes pressure fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance for high-demand burners and boilers.
- Field Serviceable: Top-entry design allows for quick inspection of the valve seat and diaphragm, reducing downtime during routine maintenance.
What is the maximum inlet pressure for the Sensus 243-12-1 1/2?
The maximum allowable inlet pressure depends on the orifice size installed; with the standard 3/4" orifice, it is typically rated for up to 30 psi, though specific configurations may vary based on temperature and safety factors.
Can this regulator be used for propane (LPG) service?
Yes, the Sensus 243-12 series is compatible with natural gas, propane, air, and other non-corrosive gases, provided the spring and orifice are correctly sized for the specific gravity of the gas.
What is the difference between the 243-12 and 243-8 models?
The 243-12 features a larger diaphragm (12-inch) compared to the 243-8 (8-inch), providing increased sensitivity and higher flow capacities at lower outlet pressures.
