Pressure Regulator Canning Weight for Presto Pressure Cooker

The 50332 3-Piece Pressure Regulator is designed for 5-10-15lb pressure settings on Presto Pressure Cookers. This canning accessory consists of the pressure regulator body and two 5-pound weight rings, allowing users to achieve 15-pounds of pressure when fully assembled.

The pressure regulator is compatible with a wide range of Presto pressure canner models, including but not limited to: 01/C22, 01/C17, 01/C13, 171003, 174001, 171001, 171002, 0178107, 0178410, 0175107, 0174510, 0175510, 177001, 02/CAA12H, 02/CAA16H, and 02/CAA20H. It can be used on pressure canners of various sizes, such as 6 qt, 8 qt, 12 qt, 16 qt, 18 qt, 20 qt, 21 qt, 22 qt, and 23 qt.

For low-acid canning (vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood), users should set the pressure to 10 pounds for altitudes up to 1000 feet. For altitudes above 1000 feet, 15 pounds of pressure should be used. For high-acid canning (fruits), 5 pounds of pressure is recommended for altitudes up to 1000 feet, and 10 pounds of pressure for altitudes above 1000 feet.

To use the 3-piece pressure regulator, it should be placed on the vent pipe after the 10-minute venting period is complete. The processing time begins once the pressure regulator starts to rock gently, and users should adjust the heat to maintain a slow, steady rocking motion during the entire processing time.

It is important to note that when using the 3-piece pressure regulator on a Presto dial gauge canner, users should not rely on the dial gauge for pressure indication. Instead, they should use the pressure canner regulator as the sole indicator of pressure within the canner.

In summary, the 50332 3-Piece Pressure Regulator is a versatile and user-friendly accessory that allows for precise pressure control during canning, ensuring safe and effective preservation of a wide variety of low-acid and high-acid foods. By following the recommended pressure settings and usage instructions, users can enjoy the benefits of this reliable pressure regulator.
