Adjusting IP on Deep6 Scribble?

[uncfnp]

Well looks like @rhwestfall nailed it. I checked the other Scribble. Yep 150. So connected my Aqualung I had serviced myself and knew was at 135. You guessed it. 155. So looks like I will be adding a new IP to my order.

Thanks to everyone for helping me figure this one out and although I may not need to adjust/rebuild now you have given me the info to be ready when I do.

Apologies for the false alarm.

Edit: Out of curiosity I just took a closer look at the gauge face. Disconnected the needle sits just above the pin at zero. I assume it should be resting on the pin. Another lesson learned.

Good to know all is well as well as realizing the faulty IP gauge.
Dirt cheap to replace. Ordering TWO units?
Would an expensive one more reliable?

Don't be too surprised as I have had a reg come from the same factory with an initial IP of 155.
Edit. I have three IP gauges and my bench one is definitely not a $12.00 one.

OP has found out that his IP gauge was faulty. So it was NOT 155psi.
How about yours? I am not suggesting that any of your gauge is inaccurate. Just curious.

I tested mine and it was at 146.5 IP my Deep6

125-145 psi.
Desired pressure is 135 p.43.

So the OP's reg is spot on.

the good thing is you can get a higher quality gauge on Amazon and use the existing fitting which is probably 1/8" NPT female instead of buying a new "IP gauge".

Note that's the manual for the signature reg which I wrote. But the Scribble is the same IP spec.

Here is the WIKA gauge that I used at the time and it closely matches the more accurate Ashcroft I subsequently purchased with plans to make a pressure pot.

FWIW I am certain the gauge functioned appropriately for years and that this issue is new. Something happened that affected the accuracy. I wonder if perhaps I dropped it and thought nothing of it at the time.
