@rhwestfall

Thanks. I had downloaded it but didn't fully understand it.

So now I think I have it correct as shown in the attached pic.

Throw a tiny bit of teflon tape on that hose barb

I was planning on that

I have to pick up some tonight after the class at Home Depot. What I had I thought would fit. It wouldn't. So I'll make a run as I know we won't be using it today.

What would a typical cracking pressure in Inches of H20 be for a regulator ?

Inches of Hg (mercury).

But better still in millibars.

Inches of Hg (mercury).

But better still in millibars.

Typically measured in Inches of H20 round here. Can be tested by actually measuring the cracking depth when submerging it face down in water.

Very general for more common regulators: "Close" to 1" for a primary with the field adjustment knob (if there is one) set to easiest. Higher for primaries without cracking adjustments and octos/secondaries to reduce fre-flow.

For Wibble: 1 inch of water is about 2.49 mb.
