With four fourth places in Birmingham in 2022, Richards was looking for his first Commonwealth medal to complete his set of Olympic, World and European podium positions.
Wales opted for a completely different quartet in the pool for the final after Kieran Bird, Harry Milne, Maddie Harris and Megan Higgs qualified fourth fastest in the heats.
Sutton and Taylor qualified for their individual semifinals in the 100m backstroke and 100m breaststroke, but both pulled out with full focus on the relay.
The policy paid off and 17-year-old Taylor led Wales back from fifth to third in a brilliant final.
Earlier, Rose Williams finished fourth in the women’s S14 200m freestyle final.
The S14 category includes swimmers with intellectual impairments, which typically cause athletes to have problems with pattern recognition, sequencing and memory, or slow reaction times, which generally affects sports performance.
Tyler Melbourne-Smith finished sixth in the 400m freestyle final, while Louise Fraser qualified for the 100m butterfly final to be held on Sunday evening.
