If you are looking for an exact number I don't know. However, most manufacturers will give a range as the one listed above, so anything including and between those 2 numbers will be OK. Or you can do an average by adding the 2 numbers, 19+28=47/2 =23.5. That would make sure you are right in the middle of the scale of the manufacturer's recommendation. I hope this helps and Happy New Year!

Alright thank you, sorry for any stupid questions, I am still new to this and don't have many in real life mentors to help.
