Description
The Sensus Gas Division 496-20-1/2 is a precision-engineered gas pressure regulator featuring an Internal Relief Valve (IRV) design. Built for reliable downstream pressure control in residential and light commercial gas distribution applications, this regulator is configured with a 1/2″ inlet/outlet connection, a 1/4″ orifice, and a green-coded spring calibrated for an outlet pressure range of 6–14″ W.C. (water column). The color-coded spring system allows for quick field identification of the pressure range, minimizing installation errors.
Key Features
- Internal Relief Valve (IRV) design for built-in overpressure protection
- 1/2″ pipe connection size for standard gas line integration
- 1/4″ orifice for controlled gas flow capacity
- Green spring coding for easy identification of the 6–14″ W.C. outlet pressure range
- Compact, durable construction suited for natural gas and LP gas service
- Designed for residential and light commercial gas pressure regulation

Application
The Sensus 496 series regulator is widely used in gas metering and distribution systems where consistent downstream pressure is critical. The IRV configuration provides an added layer of safety by relieving excess pressure internally, protecting downstream appliances and piping from overpressure conditions. Ideal for use with natural gas or propane systems requiring outlet pressures within the 6–14″ W.C. range.
