8. Testing for Cracking Effort

(1) Cracking effort is the suction required to depress the lever and allow air to flow through the second

stage. It is measured in inches of water. A magnehelic gauge is one method of measuring this pressure.

The gauge is attached to the second stage, and a normal breath is taken. The gauge measures the

cracking pressure.
(2) Another method is to carefully submerge the second stage into a container of water and note where

the air begins to flow using a ruler attached or held to the stage. This method is not always as accurate

as using a magnehelic, but still yields acceptable results.

Caution Note: Do not leave the In-Line Adjusting Tool attached when submerging

the second stage. Connect the stage to the LP hose directly. The tool is meant

for surface use only and submerging it may result in damage to the tool!

(3) Cracking effort should initially be set at 1 to 1.2 inches of water. This will account for the decrease

that will occur as the regulator is used. As the Seat begins to form the groove between it and the Orifice

knife edge, cracking effort will decrease.
