Everyone always says to set pressuretrol to 1.5 main and 1.0 subtractive differential . 99 percent of pressuretrols only go down to 2 .. is there an invisible setting ? If you put the screw down little below 2 are we at 1.5 or ??

    Yeah, you have to sort of estimate where the 1.5 setting is. New pressuretrols have corrected this.

    Not all seem to like operating that low either. Some won’t reset or start back up reliably. You kind of have to try and watch them. Vaporstat and a 1-5lb gauge is an option.
    Just a guy running some pipes.

    Some would say that a vaporstat and low pressure gauge are essential, otherwise it would be like having a 0-500 MPH speedometer in your car!—NBC
