Re: SAFETY WARNING: <R77> 125 psi Pressure Relief Valve
We have the same problem with ours - does not relieve at 125 (I think we have taken it to 160 as well); we replaced it with last year's valve (still fresh in the bag) and had the same problem. The gage seems to be OK - it tracks with the one downstream of the regulator up to 60.

I don't see anything on the Q&A so I'm going to ask if it's OK to adjust the valve if we discover it is not set at 125 psi (since R77 doesn't allow it).
