Does the Marshall Brass 290 have the adjustment screw like the older 260 model did? My propex heater works at the stock 11" W.C. but when I turned it up to 13"W.C. the heater really came to life. The spec for the propex call for 13"W.C. if I recall. Didn't appear to hurt the fridge or stove use at all. In fact it appeared to be easier to light the fridge after the increase in pressure. I say appeared as I pulled and clean it the refeer about the same time I installed the propex. I don't recommend to anyone though to just go out and turn the adjustment screw on your propane regulator. If you don't have any way to W.C. on propane don't do it!!!
