The Sensus-Gas Division 143-IRV-1 is a gas pressure regulator designed to operate safely and efficiently in a variety of home and commercial HVAC applications. To operate, it automatically lowers the supply line's high-pressure gas pressure to a constant, lower pressure that is appropriate for air conditioners, boilers, and furnaces. A 1-inch internal relief valve in the regulator releases excess gas if downstream pressure rises above a predetermined threshold, providing added safety. The 3/8-inch orifice size determines the maximum gas flow rate. It is possible to monitor and alter the downstream pressure as necessary with a green, 6–14-inch water column pressure gauge. This regulator is perfect for use in a variety of HVAC equipment, such as boilers, water heaters, and furnaces. It guarantees the best possible gas distribution, which improves system dependability and performance.
143-IRV-1 Sensus-Gas Division Gas Pressure Regulator
The Sensus-Gas Division 143-IRV-1 is a gas pressure regulator designed for use in various residential and commercial applications. It plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient gas flow by maintaining a consistent downstream pressure, regardless of the fluctuating upstream pressure. It takes high-pressure gas from the supply line and reduces it to a safe and stable pressure for appliances and equipment. The 143-IRV-1 Sensus-Gas Division gas pressure regulator adjusts the downstream pressure automatically to compensate for changes in upstream pressure, ensuring consistent gas flow for optimal equipment performance. The internal relief valve opens and releases excess gas in case the downstream pressure exceeds a set limit, safeguarding against equipment damage and safety hazards.

Internal relief valve (IRV): Provides automatic pressure relief in case of over-pressurization, enhancing safety.
Adjustable outlet pressure: Allows for fine-tuning of the downstream pressure to match specific equipment requirements.
Durable construction: Made from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of long-term use.
Compact size: Fits easily into various piping configurations.
Various body sizes and orifice options: Available in multiple configurations to suit different gas flow requirements.
Signs of a Faulty Sensus-Gas Division 143-IRV-1
A malfunctioning 143-IRV-1 gas pressure regulator can pose safety risks and disrupt the performance of your gas appliances. Watch out for these telltale signs:
Gas Flow Issues:
Fluctuating or inconsistent gas flow: Appliances may experience uneven heating, pilot light instability, or complete shutdown due to inconsistent pressure.
Low gas pressure: Appliances may not reach the desired temperature or perform efficiently due to insufficient downstream pressure.
High gas pressure: This can damage appliances, increase the risk of leaks, and trigger the relief valve more frequently.
Operational Issues:
Frequent relief valve activation: The internal relief valve releasing gas frequently indicates over-pressurization, suggesting a faulty regulator.
Unusual noises: Hissing, popping, or banging sounds coming from the regulator area can indicate internal issues or leaks.
Increased gas odor: A strong or persistent gas odor around the regulator or appliances can signify a leak, requiring immediate attention.
