Subject: 2nd propane regulator?

>Okay listees, put on your thinking caps:
>I hooked my catalytic heater into the propane line under the sink that runs
>to the stove.
>The other line runs to the fridge.
>The catalytic heater needs to run at 11 w.c. inches of propane pressure to
>assure a clean burn.
>But the fridge needs less than 11 w.c. inches at altitude.
>Dometic claims that you may need to turn the regulator down as low as 5
>w.c. inches at 8,000 feet to get the fridge to work properly at that
>altitude.
>I live at 6,000 feet and can verify that the fridge works better at less
>than 10 w.c. inches at this altitude.
>
>So the question is:
>Is there a SMALL secondary propane regulator / pressure reducer that can be
>installed under the sink, between the fridge and the existing stock propane
>regulator? Preferably one that can be adjusted between 5 and 11 w.c.
>inches. I have asked a wholesale and a retail plumbing supply house and a
>couple of propane supply companies. They don't know of such a thing.
>(Actually the wholesale one did, but it was huge.)
>Thanks for your brains listees,
