I recently bought a manometer after taking some of the RV Professor's classes. I hooked it up to the gas outlet on the stove, as he advises, and I'm only getting 6 inches of water column of pressure. I lit the other burner, turned on both propane tanks etc. It stays at 6" water column. I tried to adjust the regulator higher (clockwise turn), and it is bottomed out. If I turn it counter-clockwise, it drops down to 5" and lower of pressure.
I'm buying a new regulator, but I'm surprised that, at 6" of water column pressure, my burners would light. My wife did notice the smell of propane by our refrigerator a couple of times, but the gas detector never alarmed. Should 6" of water column be functional? Should I suspect my manometer, which I just purchased from Amazon? It is a Yellow Jacket brand. Is this a common issue?
