Built to control line pressure for commercial gas equipment, this industrial gas pressure regulator is preset for natural gas at 6" and supports systems up to 2,500,000 BTU. Designed for installation with 1-1/4 inch connections, the component ensures consistent downstream pressure to protect valves and burners during continuous kitchen operation. Operators can reduce pressure fluctuations and maintain stable flame performance across heavy-use appliances.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug gas supply and shut main valve. Vent area, then remove regulator per Southbend instructions. Wipe external surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent. Inspect seals and replace if cracked. Vacuum nearby vents and clear grease to reduce fire risk. Check fittings for tightness and test for leaks with soap solution—bubbles indicate leak. Document maintenance date and gallons used if tracking consumption. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, equipment failure, and costly fines.#@@#Additional Info#@#Southbend 4450009 1-0.25" gas pressure regulator, preset to 6" for natural gas, accepts 1-1/4" connections, controls up to 2,500,000 BTU; weighs 6 pounds, meets CSA service expectations for commercial kitchens.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Built to control line pressure for commercial gas equipment, this industrial gas pressure regulator is preset for natural gas at 6" and supports systems up to 2,500,000 BTU. Designed for installation with 1-1/4 inch connections, the component ensures consistent downstream pressure to protect valves and burners during continuous kitchen operation. Operators can reduce pressure fluctuations and maintain stable flame performance across heavy-use appliances.
#@@# Pressure Stability#@#
The regulator maintains a preset natural gas outlet at 6", delivering consistent downstream pressure under variable demand conditions. Technicians experience fewer nuisance adjustments and more stable burner operation during peak service periods.
#@@# High Capacity Rating#@#
Engineered for a maximum capacity of 2,500,000 BTU, the device efficiently handles multiple high-BTU appliances on a common supply line. Engineers can combine large ranges, ovens, and broilers without exceeding regulator throughput limits.
#@@# Standard Connection Size#@#
Equipped for 1-1/4 inch piping, the unit fits common commercial gas mains, minimizing the need for adapters. Installers benefit from straightforward mating to existing supply runs, which reduces installation time.
#@@# Durable Construction#@#
Built to withstand the rigors of commercial kitchen environments, the regulator arrives as a loose-mounted component for flexible placement. Maintenance teams appreciate the robust design that resists corrosion and sustains repeated service cycles.
#@@# Weight and Handling#@#
Weighing approximately 6 pounds, the product balances rugged construction with manageable handling during installation. Field crews can position and secure the regulator without the need for heavy lifting equipment.
#@@# Compliance and Compatibility#@#
Manufactured for natural gas applications and labeled for pressure preset at 6", the regulator integrates seamlessly with standard gas control systems.
#@@#Delivery Details#@#
• Please ensure to handle the product with utmost care.
• Check if the product you have received has all the essential parts and accessories.
• Make sure to examine the product for damage before signing the delivery receipt.
• Contact customer service for delivery concerns.
• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Use a soft brush to remove debris from the regulator body and vent; avoid sharp tools that may damage seals. Inspect inlet and outlet fittings for corrosion and tightness before each service; tighten connections to manufacturer torque specifications. Replace diaphragms and seals annually or after 12,000 operating hours. Verify preset at 6" using a calibrated manometer and confirm downstream pressure under load. Store spare parts in a dry, labeled container away from heat sources.
