I Forge Iron

I am pretty sure that is a dummy hole, the unit that has a working gauge has been drilled prior to assembly and comes with the gauge. It can be drilled out, but you risk damaging the regulator. I have a mr. heater regulator and never tried to put a gauge on the regulator, I put it on the manifold at the forge.

It works fine without the gauge, so I will not try to mess with it. I know what low sounds like and I know what wide open sounds like :) !!! Thanks !!!

Gauges are notoriously prone to getting discombobulated and not being very accurate. I'm amused when people tell me their forge runs at XYZ psi but have never calibrated their gauge and so it could be 50% off! I tune by eye and ear.

I agree with Thomas - the gauge is not terribly reliable. I look for how much fire is coming out of the forge and listen to the sound.

I third TP's statement. I have stated what I run at from time to time but try to disclaim that with "your mileage may vary" type words ;) I really only "use" the gauge readings as a comparison between my 2 current gassers. One is blown; the other, venturi type. Also check differences in readings against changes in gas orifice size and such. My 7 psi most likely will heat my forge differently than your 7 psi :)
