Gas regulator 11" vs 13" WC??
Had an issue the passed week with fridge not holding temp while traveling.
Got home, checked everything out and regulator measured 8" WC. This was an almost new regulator which worked a bit over 1 year. It would not adjust any higher.
Re-installed the original 10 year old regulator which measured about 11.5" WC. Fridge is back up and running.
In doing this I noticed Norcold specifies 13" WC requirement. I may not have been paying close attention, but I've never noticed anyone talking about setting their regulator at 13". I found some info that 10" to 14" was the acceptable appliance design spec.
I notice that all the regulators I could find info on are set to 11" from the factory.
Anyone know of why we use 11" as the general standard if the fridge is designed for optimum operation at 13"?
By the way, 8" WC at my Norcold N641 set to max would maintain 40* to 45* depending on the outside temp. At ambient temp of ~92*, 11.5" WC will hold 32* with control set to 7.
