Sensus 496-10-1-ANGLE Regulator
The Sensus 496-10-1-ANGLE Regulator is a heavy-duty domestic service regulator designed for high-performance pressure reduction in residential and light commercial gas systems. This configuration features a 1-inch NPT angle body, optimizing installation in tight piping geometries where a straight-through flow is impractical. Equipped with a 1/4-inch orifice and a green spring calibrated for a 6" to 14" w.c. outlet pressure range, this unit ensures precise natural gas pressure regulation even during rapid load changes. The integrated internal relief valve (IRV) provides essential overpressure protection, venting excess pressure to prevent downstream equipment damage. Built with a rugged die-cast aluminum diaphragm case and a corrosion-resistant internal linkage, the 496 series delivers reliable lock-up pressure control and long-term stability. Whether used for individual appliances or small meter sets, this Sensus gas regulator maintains a consistent natural gas delivery pressure to ensure optimal combustion efficiency for high-demand heating equipment.
Technical Benefits for Contractors
- Angle Body Configuration: Simplifies piping layouts and reduces the number of fittings required in compact meter set installations.
- Precise Pressure Control: The green spring provides a versatile 6-14 inch water column adjustment range to meet specific appliance manifold requirements.
- Enhanced Safety: Internal relief mechanism offers integrated overpressure protection without the need for external secondary relief valves in most standard applications.
- Field Proven Durability: Robust construction minimizes regulator humming and vibration, ensuring a quiet and stable gas flow rate under varying inlet pressures.
Common Installation Questions
What is the maximum inlet pressure for the Sensus 496 with a 1/4" orifice?
The 1/4" orifice is typically rated for a maximum emergency inlet pressure of 125 psi, though optimal performance for service regulators is usually achieved at lower distribution pressures.
Can the vent position be adjusted on the 496-10-1 model?
Yes, the regulator vent can be rotated in 90-degree increments to ensure proper downward orientation, preventing moisture and debris from entering the diaphragm chamber.
Is this regulator suitable for LP gas applications?
While primarily used for natural gas pressure reduction, the 496 series can be utilized for propane service if the orifice size and spring range are correctly matched to the higher BTU load and supply pressure.
