IMPORTANT

Before first use, test which washers are required using a pressure canner with a working or recently checked out gauge.
A few inches of water only (add an extra inch or two for safety),
no jars, vent 10 minutes as usual.
DO NOT BOIL DRY
Using 50332 regulator body only, adjust heat until stable.
Record pressure (& washer type).
Add one washer and repeat. Etc.

Save recorded pressure settings wrt "Washers used" for later,
to check or verify gauge calibration.

Keep in mind, there are slight variations in weights of Presto and BTB components due to manufacturing tolerances.
There could also be slight corresponding variations in pressure between components even of the same type.
Measure, record and save the Pressures and/or weights of your components, for later reference.

Vent Pipe ID

I replaced the original 85608 Vent Pipe in my older model Presto 0178004 canner,
when i found the original had a slightly larger hole ID (approx .13" ID)
compared to a newly purchased 85608 (approx .125" ID).
(I have a newer model Presto 0178107 as backup, which tipped me off to the Vent Pipe ID difference.)
Although both new and old Vent Pipes have the same number,
the older one (.13" ID) gave slightly lower pressure regulation points than the new one (.125" ID).
I have no idea what caused the different Vent Pipe ID's in my canners,
but other YouTube videos on this topic might show this difference as well ?

Again, It is important to measure, record and save your own pressures wrt weights for later reference.
Do NOT trust or use other people's readings.

All my canners (and videos) now use the newer 85608 .125" ID Vent Pipe.
