Like I told you. It's 5/16"
You can't discern 4/100ths of an inch, and neither can ANYTHING you're gonna fit the tool into.
You're either just kidding, or you've never used a tool more than once in your life.
Oh yeah 19mm = 3/4 inch too!!!!
BUT.....18MM isn't equal to 11/16"
There are limits.......
Beside, technically speaking, using 5/16" is a tighter, more secure fit.......technically speaking.
Yes it'll fit, kids.

Actually it's 2 1/2 .....1000ths of an inch, our mistake.
If you were dumb?? enough to argue 2 1/2 1000ths of an inch, I suggest you never dive with your reg again. Your O-ring might be out of spec.
I tell you the truth without exaggeration, I have used 5/16 for 8 mm, and vis versa for over 10 years, 5 days a week, 5 times a day.
Please don't insult anyone with silly posts.
it's is totally irrelevant.
Why argue? They're the same.
Besides YOU substituted the 5/16 for 8mm anyways!!!!
Guess what?? YOU didn't die either!! It simply cannot round-out.
You university types.....I swear. Give him a calculator, and he'll ensure nothing gets done!
When you get to the real world of working.....you'll understand, maybe.

Well you're right, I honestly wouldn't know the difference from one Allen wrench to the other, unless I read the size myself.
For the record (if it helps)
19mm = 3/4''
16mm = 5/8"
Adjustable = every size conceived.........
NO, I FORBID those dastardly instruments...except when there's nothing else.
Maybe I know more about wrenches, nut, bolts and sizes, but maybe not about Regs.......
Oh, and to answer your question, measuring from the first stage is good enough, since the pressure is the same (baring kinks/restrictions etc (not much of a chance of that)) from 1st to 2nd stage.
Like the guys said, just ensure you have a way to relieve the pressure BEFORE you pressure it up!
