Maybe I should open that one too, for science!
I like this person!
But I suspect there's an adjustment screw buried in there...
Cheers!

It’s not a completely open hole, theres a spring holding down a rubber plug. I think the one with the stamped number has a calibrated pressure rating, whereas the spring/stopper would release at higher and higher pressures, the more you screw the spring fitting down. If it was originally calibrated, I’ve gone and changed the setting by removing the lock nut and spring housing.Is the thing on the back of your two reulators the same thing? I ask because the1.8k one has a cover on it that reads 1.8k but the other one is just an uncovered hole... (see the pix of mine) Just to be sure, an uncovered hole is normal and/or acceptable on these regulators?
I would not pay any attention to the markings on top of the dial. That is a printed metal disc that is just held on by some double-sided tape, and has no definite relation to the valve. In fact mine fell off in shipping, and now I have lost it.0k... So I don't have to fret over the open hole in the back (Maybe I can find a cover for it somewhere to keep out the dust?)
LETs move on to another issue:
The dial setting cannot be read properly from the triangle shaped pointer and there are no alternative pointers.
What would you do? What is the best thing to do... if the dial is set off mark?
Looking at the pic one can see the triangle pointer used to let you know where to read the dial... IF the gauge face were attached on the opposing side it would read correctly, however it isn't and it doesn't. pix ending in 13 shoxs the dial all the way up and pix 31 shows it all the way down. Certainly not easy to read correctly and consistantly by using the triangle pointer. The alternative is to read it on the opposing side with no fixed pointer. Doable but not desirable.
Should I accept or demand a replacement?
