Sensus 496-20-3/4-3/8ORF Regulator
The Sensus 496-20 Domestic Service Regulator is a specialized solution designed for commercial gas pressure regulation and demanding residential applications. This specific model features a 3/4" NPT Internal Relief Valve (IRV) and a precision-machined 3/8" orifice, engineered to handle consistent flow rates while preventing over-pressurization downstream. Equipped with a Green Spring, this unit operates within a 6" to 14" w.c. outlet pressure range, making it ideal for standard natural gas delivery systems. The 496 series is recognized by technicians for its diaphragm-actuated design, providing superior sensitivity to pressure fluctuations and ensuring stable lock-up pressure performance. Built with a rugged die-cast aluminum construction, this natural gas regulator facilitates easy field adjustment and maintenance, providing reliable service life in high-demand environments where precise BTU capacity management is critical for appliance efficiency and safety.
- Precision Pressure Control: The 3/8" orifice and Green Spring combination ensure stable 6-14" w.c. delivery for sensitive gas-fired equipment.
- Enhanced Safety: Integrated 3/4" Internal Relief Valve (IRV) provides essential overpressure protection for downstream piping and components.
- Field Versatility: The 496-20 design allows for multiple regulator vent positions, simplifying installation in restricted mechanical spaces.
- Industrial Durability: Heavy-duty construction ensures the unit maintains lock-up pressure integrity even in fluctuating inlet pressure conditions.
Common Technical Questions
What is the maximum inlet pressure for the Sensus 496-20?
The 496-20 series is typically rated for a maximum inlet pressure of 125 psi, though the specific 3/8" orifice sizing determines the optimal flow capacity and performance curve for your specific drop.
Can the outlet pressure be adjusted on the Green Spring?
Yes, the green spring allows for field adjustment between 6" and 14" w.c. Technicians should use a calibrated manometer to set the final delivery pressure based on the appliance manifold requirements.
What is the benefit of the Internal Relief Valve (IRV)?
The IRV vent prevents excessive pressure buildup in the house line if the main valve seat fails to close completely, venting gas safely through the regulator vent into the atmosphere.
